The Edison Public Library will present two motion picture ‘classics’ this month.
On Tuesday, December 3, head over to the Clara Barton Branch for a Movie Mantine featuring a 10:00 am showing of the 1998 blockbuster You’ve Got Mail.
The movie stars Tom Hanks as Joe Fox and Meg Ryan as Kathleen Kelly, two strangers who live and work near each other on New York's Upper West Side. Though involved in seemingly satisfying relationships, they meet anonymously in an Internet chat room and find themselves confiding their innermost secrets. They share everything except their identities and, back in the real world, the opening of Joe's new book superstore a few blocks away from Kathleen's little family-owned bookstore threatens their burgeoning romance.
You’ve Got Mail is rated PG and has a running time of approximately two hours.
Those looking to catch a true holiday classic are invited to the Main Library on Friday, December 6, for a showing of Miracle on 34th Street.
Part of the library’s Flashback Fridays series, the 10:00 am showing of the 1947 film stars Oscar winner Edmund Gwenn as a department-store Santa Claus who runs afoul of the store's nasty in-house psychiatrist and is forced to go on trial to prove he's the real Kris Kringle. The film, which also features John Payne, Maureen O'Hara, Natalie Wood, and Porter Hall, was a Best Picture nominee with director George Seaton garnering the Oscar for the script.
Miracle on 34th Street is a family-friendly movie and has a running time of just over 90 minutes.
