Our Friday Film series, with Classics in the fall and New Releases in the spring, has been a big hit! So big we’ve decided to try expanding the series with Family Friendly films for all ages. The films chosen are rated PG, so may not be appropriate for all children (parents get to make the call!) This could be a great opportunity for a grandparent-grandchild film date, or an event for the whole family, although a party of just adults is welcome too – aren’t we all kids at heart sometimes?
