Snatch
Made back when stealing ideas from Tarantino was still fresh (and few realized he stole all his in the first place). This film about a boxer, a diamond heist and gangsters is the most refreshing take at the English underworld since Austin Powers.
The action starts at 8:00 this time, make sure to get in a little early to grab a seat. As usual, we will have a popcorn contest. Also, BYOB, or Vodka, or Tequila, or whatever you like to drink while watching great films.

Join us for a night of education, communication and conversation.
