“Little Women” -  (PG; 2 hours, 15 minutes) -  Nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture! Writer-director Greta Gerwig (Lady Bird) has crafted a “Little Women” that draws on both the classic novel and the writings of Louisa May Alcott, and unfolds as the author's alter ego, Jo March, reflects back and forth on her fictional life. In Gerwig's take, the beloved story of the March sisters - four young women each determined to live life on her own terms -- is both timeless and timely. The film stars Saoirse Ronan, Emma Watson, Florence Pugh, Eliza Scanlen, with Timothée Chalamet, Laura Dern and Meryl Streep as Aunt March. Final screening, Thursday, Feb. 6 at 2 p.m.

“Mutiny on the Bounty” -  (1935; 2 hours, 12 minutes) - Classic Film Club -  Clark Gable stars as Fletcher Christian, first mate of the infamous HMS Bounty, skippered by Captain William Bligh (Charles Laughton), the cruelest taskmaster on the Seven Seas. Bligh's villainy knows no bounds: he is even willing to flog a dead man if it will strengthen his hold over the crew. Christian despises Bligh and is sailing on the Bounty under protest. During the journey back to England, Bligh's cruelties become more than Christian can bear; and after the captain indirectly causes the death of the ship's doctor, the crew stages a mutiny, with Christian in charge. Bligh and a handful of officers loyal to him are set adrift in an open boat. The movie won the Best Picture Oscar that year.
