How Come Rom-Coms? Movie Discussions, with Bobbie Stein and Judy Langer

How Come Rom-Coms? Movie Discussions, with Bobbie Stein and Judy Langer

January 31, 2024 @ 2:45-4:00pm

Some of the most popular and beloved movies are romantic comedies. Meeting cute, from hostility to love, from friendship to coupling (with some very memorable lines) – they're all there! We’ll talk about some that continue to be on top over the decades, for good reasons – they're fun, among other things. The first week of the course starts with Bringing Up Baby with Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant in What’s Up Doc? Bobbie and Judy ask that you watch the movies in advance if possible so we can hear what you think. They'll show the movie trailers, and talk about the themes, the reviews, the fascinating backstories of the filming and people involved. Coming up Feb 7 Peter Bogdanovich’s tribute to Baby, with Barbra Streisand and Ryan O’Neal; on Feb 14, When Harry Met Sally with Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. (How nice to have a rom-com on Valentine’s Day!)
