Flying Saucer Cinema - Winter

This classic science fiction film appreciation class showcases beloved films that cry out for viewing in a group setting the way they were first presented to the world. Each week will bring something new, films ranging from Golden Age sci-fi of the 1950s and 60s to the dystopian science fiction of the 1970s and occasional forays beyond. Co-hosts Eric Cohen and Mark Daniels will be your guides and provide you with film information, trivia and lively post-screening discussion every week. Our first entry for Winter Quarter is the story of a curious boy who sees a flying saucer land in his backyard, and no one believes him in Invaders from Mars. Next up is a movie about an alien who needs to secure human blood to save his world in Not of This Earth. Our next movie is a remake of the classic 1957 alien invasion movie Invasion of the Body Snatchers, starring Donald Sutherland. We'll end the quarter with 1933 Pre-Code classic romantic monster movie, King Kong. Whether you are a seasoned science fiction film buff or simply want to put your head in a different place for a couple hours every week, this will be an engaging, fun adventure of a class you won't want to miss.
