I polled some of our library staff for their favorite films. They range from family favorites, funny comedies, to serious dramas. They are the perfect choices for curling up and spending a chilly Autumn night in:
Heidi Schwab, Adult Programming and Outreach Librarian: No movie ever has made me laugh as much as George of the Jungle. It is a terrific movie for all ages. Great for a family movie night.
Jessica Sosa, Circulation Assistant: Inception because it is thought provoking with all the many realities that could exist.
Faith Fitzsimmons, Office Administrator: Wizard of Oz I could watch it a million and ten times. I watched it with my mom and grandmother and now I watch it with my own kids. It is a great family movie.
Mihaela Colibasu, Circulation Assistant: Requiem for Dream is disturbing but moving film that evokes strong emotions.
Victoria Turk, Reference Librarian: The Godfather, I’m a big family person.
Susan Flynn, Circulation Assistant: Clueless and Legally Blonde are both terrific funny films that I could sit and watch all day. I have some of the lines memorized by heart. You can stream the sequel Legally Blondes on Hoopla!
Lindsay Sakmann, Reference Librarian: What We do in the Shadows is really funny and light-hearted. Puts you in a good mood. Borrow this funny vampire mockumentary right now from Kanopy!
Rosary Van Ingen, Head of Circulation: Charade, Audrey Hepburn and Carrey Grant in Paris, what more could you want?
Melissa Medina, Children’s Library Assistant: Rebecca filmed in 1940 and directed by Alfried Hitchcock. It’s a haunting and beautifully filmed psychological thriller.. It’s been one of my favorites since I was a kid and may have been my first introduction to Alfred Hitchcock movies.
Sherissa Salas, Adult Programming Assistant: Pride and Prejudice (the version with Keira Knightly), it was the first time I was introduced to classic English novels in a way I connected to. It is why I majored in English in College.
Pat Fischetto, Children’s Library Assistant: Under the Tuscan Sun is a touching romance. I love Italy!
