Calling all film lovers and self-proclaimed movie buffs! The 12th annual Film Series at Lone Star College-Montgomery is set to begin this weekend with an award-winning, riveting line-up of movies. And the best plot twist yet is that all films are open to the entire community free of charge!
The series, put together and hosted by Gary Brown, professor of government at LSC-Montgomery, is loosely modeled after the critically-acclaimed Rice Film Series.
“The goal is to show movies that are ‘off the beaten path’ to film lovers in the community,” said Brown. “Then after the viewing, all patrons can engage in an interesting discussion of plot, director’s elements, specials effects, underlying themes or meanings, and more.”
This fall, the series features movies by Alfred Hitchcock, and this spring, the series is centered on “The Thin Man” film series.
“Who doesn’t love Hitchcock films?” said Brown. “I look forward to people coming out simply to try and guess when Hitchcock himself makes a quick appearance in the production, which is one of his trademarks.”

September 11, 13: Notorious (1946)
