	     LSC Movies for the week of Oct 22 to Oct 24

Fri.	Oct 22	La R\`{e}gle Du Jeu (1939)	[???]	10-250	7:30
The Rules of the Game is considered Jean Renoir's masterpiece, a tale of
a count's weekend shooting party which results in complex love
intrigues. It's a black satirical comedy starring Marcel Dalio and a
must-see for foreign film lovers. In French with English subtitles.

Fri.	Oct 22	Scent of a Woman Oct. 22	[R]	26-100	7 & 10:30
Charlie Simms (Chris O'Donnell) has a problem--he has to decide whether
to risk expulsion from his school. Retired Lt. Colonel Frank Slade (Al
Pacino) also has a problem--he's blind, irritable, and would much rather
be in New York having a good time--maybe for the last time. When Charlie
is hired to look after Slade for Thanksgiving weekend, he ends up
following him to New York, where they both find new problems--and new
solutions. One of very few films which features a blind guy driving a
Ferrari.

Sat.	Oct 23	Beauty and the Beast		[G]	26-100	7 & 10
The first animated film ever to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar,
this story of an independent girl who finds love for an enchanted prince
is a Disney adaptation of the classic fairy tale which has become a
classic itself. Featuring songs by Alan Menken and Howard Ashman (_The
Little Mermaid_). See it on the big screen for the last time this
century! [Please note the matinee screening.] 

Sun.	Oct 24	Highlander			[R]	10-250	7 & 10
Something's afoot in New York City. Or shall we say a head, because
that's what New York police find in the parking garage of Madison Square
Garden along with a man's decapitated body. Conner MacLeod (Christopher
Lambert) knows what's happening. He and others from all over the world
are immortal and have come together to fight for The Prize. But since
the only way to win is to kill all the others, and the only way to kill
an immortal is to decapitate him, the competition has the NYPD up in
arms. Come see why "there can be only one!" Also starring Sean Connery.

therese (Therese):


Never, ever say: "I fell asleep in class"

Instead, say: "Notwithstanding the scintillating repartage concomitant
to this scholastic assemblage, intransigent preternatural biological
functions conspired to surmount my fragile resolve, plunging
consciousness beneath my direct autonomy and thus insuring a rapid
decline into somnolency."
