OLLI Interest Group: Sci-Fi Movies

pulp-o-mizerIntroduction


  • Interested in watching recent Science Fiction movies, e.g., Upcoming (below), with other OLLI members?
  • Typically, we carpool to a Monday or Tuesday discount matinee at (link is external)Cinemark Tinseltown in Medford (big screens, stadium-style, lounger seats), or (link is external)Ashland Street Cinema; optional: enjoy lunch / coffee / beer to discuss film and plan next outing
  • Feel free to contact others on the email list if you'd like to propose an outing.
  • Contact Steve to let him know of your interest / suggestions / preferred sub-genres, e.g., Action; Adventure; Alien; Classic; Cult; Drama; Foreign; Thrillers; Documentaries related to technology, space-age, etc. (I'm generally less interested in (and generally don't bother listing): Animated; Comic-book; Demon; Fantasy; Horror; Magic; Supernatural; Superhero; Vampire; Wizard films -- but I'm open to adding specific films to list if there's interest)
  • If there's enough interest -- and a suitable OLLI classroom available (preferably Room A or B) -- we might show and discuss a 'classic' Sci-Fi movie (or TV series) -- for ideas, see References below. We could also attend Sci-Fi events, e.g., (link is external)Hamazons: Sci-Fi: The B films! (2018, plus 2020 wildfire fund raiser for Unete): "a performance where comedy improv collides with the Science Fiction genre of the 1950s. Inspired by such movies as It Came From Outer Space, The Blob, and Attack of the 50 Foot Woman, The Hamazons will deliver a full-length improvised story filled with extraterrestrial lifeforms, alien worlds, spacecraft and robots. . Watch them grapple with the unknown as they travel into the future of the past!". Who knows, maybe someday OSF will offer Alien?
