Saturday Afternoon at the Movies

Saturday, August 16, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free

Members & guests–free

Every Saturday afternoon, join fellow film aficionados of the Village for an in-depth discussion of films new and old, led by Village member Mel Washburn. Watch the selected film any time–or enjoy the discussion and be persuaded to view it after!

This week’s film is Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019): 2hr.40min, R.T. 86%, On Amazon & others

Quentin Tarantino’s ninth film takes us to 1969 Hollywood where actor Rick Dalton (Leo DiCaprio), who used to be great in Westerns and a TV show, is struggling to stay significant, or just recognized. He pals around with his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt), who chauffeurs him everywhere (why is funny … and sad) and who consoles him when he’s down. They live in a nice house next to Roman Polanski and Sharon Tate (brilliantly played by Margot Robbi) … and not far from a really cool commune where lots of attractive young women hang out, one being Margaret Qualley (Demi Moore’s better half in The Substance). Nominated for best picture, director, screenplay, actor, supporting actor academy awards. Brad Pitt won for his role.
