First up Is ARTHUR (1981)

Dudley Moore’s (Oscar-nominated) greatest performance carries the heart-warming romantic comedy ARTHUR (1981) about a ridiculously wealthy man who does what he wants whenever he wishes, but lacks the happiness he craves. Arthur’s life looks up though when he meets waitress Linda (Liza Minnelli), but he’s already engaged to the rich Susan (Jill Eikenberry) so that’s a major problem since his rich granny threatens to cut him out of the will. Acting legend John Gielgud won an Academy Award as Moore’s acid-mouthed butler Hobson. ARTHUR also won the Oscar for ‘Best Song’ (Christopher Cross’ Moon and New Your City’ aka ‘Arthur’s Theme). ARTHUR is a hilarious and beloved comedy that still holds up 36 years later

Next is CHATO’S LAND (1972)

In CHATO’S LAND, Charles Bronson is a Half-breed Apache who kills a nasty sheriff in self-defense and takes off to the badlands, always a step ahead of the hunting party chasing him. They are a motley crew headed by a cool, unemotional, and somewhat philosophical ex-Confederate, played by Jack Palance. The rest of the hanging party consists of Richard Jordan, Ralph Waite, Simon Oakland, and James Whitmore. Bronson being Bronson, you know this is not going to end well for these guys. CHATO’S LAND is a convincing expose of the dynamics of a lynch mob, and the consequences of bigotry and violence.

There will be movie trivia with prizes and of course The Way Out Club will have a full bar and Way Out Pizzas for sale. Don’t miss it!
