Medfield College Film Society

This week the society stays within the Touchstone Pictures vault as this season winds down with 1998's Rushmore, directed by Wes Anderson and starring Jason Schwartzman, Bill Murray, and Olivia Williams.  Join us as we head off for prep school, then public school, and remember characters in our own youth who favor the characters in this movie.  Except for the private school, we've lived it!  And the music is great!

This week the society continues through the world of Touchstone Pictures with 2000's High Fidelity, directed by Stephen Frears and starring John Cusack.  Sit back and let these grand tunes guide you through all the dysfunction you can bear and more - and don't forget the Jack Black!  Are these guys ever going to do Disney movies again?!

Did you ever wonder what your life would be like, if it was just... DIFFERENT?  Tired of your domestic situation?  Have a little ennui with the boss at work?  Maybe wondering about your larger regrets?  These are the questions that are tackled by the 1990 Touchstone classic Mr. Destiny, directed by James Orr and starring Jim Belushi, Linda Hamilton, and Michael Caine.  Join us as another magical bartender shows us a huge WHAT IF, and the society reflects on their own Mr. Destiny moments.  Won't you, too?

This week, the society views the 1997 Touchstone thriller Conair, directed by Simon West and starring a cast of luminaries, anchored by Nicholas Cage, John Malcovitch, and John Cusack.  Join us as we board a plane with all the worst criminals in America, who frequently fly around the country together for some unknown reason. Bring your best hand-to-hand combat skills, sweet tea, and apple butter, because this one is a southern scorcher!

The 80s were really something, weren't they?  The ladies went to work and the men, they had to learn how to change diapers....  sometimes.
