Coronado Public Library, in partnership with the Coronado Island Film Festival, presents Film Forum Coronado this month, occurring on the first and fourth Wednesdays of each month at 6:00 p.m. in the library’s Winn Room. Film expert Ralph DeLauro provides a brief introduction to each film and leads a discussion afterward, often including pointers about how lighting or camera angles contribute to a scene’s mood or propel the story.
On Wednesday, July 17 at 6 p.m., the featured film will be The League of Gentlemen (1960, PG-13, 115 min). Basil Dearden‘s twisting, devilishly ingenious crime escapade. A gang of embittered, disenfranchised and dissatisfied British vets conspires to execute a million-pound bank robbery. With Jack Hawkins, Richard Attenborough and Roger Livesey. Strongroom (1962, PG-13, 75 min). Standout British race-against-time thriller loved by directors Quentin Tarantino and Edgar Wright. A taut and gripping account of a bank heist gone wrong— resulting in the thieves returning to the scene of the crime in order to release the two employees they locked in the bank vault.
