Tom Jones, Happy Gilmore and Norma Rae – Wonderfulness! If I had to choose a picture out of the three, mine is Norma Rae. Miss Sally deserved the Oscar. Her Norma Rae made an impression on this moviegoer. I had just turned 23 that year. It’s hard to believe it came out that long ago…
Thank you, Cary for this fab trio!
Thank you Abbe for the positivity! I hope you are planning to come see all three films this weekend? Please be aware that I’m just the guy that put up the schedule, I don’t pick the films. That credit belongs to our talented curators at the Packard Campus. See you at the movies!
