Join us on the 2nd and 4th Friday of the month for classic cinema from the 20th century. 

This film screening will include English subtitles/ closed captioning (when format allows). Feel free to bring your own snacks and drinks to enjoy. Limited space, registration encouraged. 

 


This classic cinema movie (loosely) aligns with the Summer Reading theme of "Level Up! At Your Library."

 

Rudy (1993 ‧ Sport/Drama/Biographical ‧ 1h 56m ‧ Rated PG for mild language)

Rudy Ruettiger (Sean Astin) wants to play football at the University of Notre Dame, but has neither the money for tuition nor the grades to qualify for a scholarship. Rudy redoubles his efforts to get out of the steel mill where his father works when his best friend (Christopher Reed) dies in an accident there. Overcoming his dyslexia thanks to his friend and tutor, D-Bob (Jon Favreau), Rudy gains admission to Notre Dame and begins to fight his way onto the school's fabled football team.

Inspired by true events.
