BRIEF ENCOUNTER (1946) Starring Trevor Howard, Celia Johnson; Not Rated; 86 minutes

From Noël Coward's play "Still Life," legendary filmmaker David Lean explores the thrill, pain, and tenderness of an illicit romance in the dour, gray Britain of 1945. From a chance meeting on a train platform, a middle-aged married doctor (Trevor Howard) and a suburban housewife (Celia Johnson) enter into a quietly passionate, ultimately doomed love affair, set to a swirling Rachmaninoff score.

This film follows both women, who, while separated by time and space, discover that with the right combination of passion and fearlessness (and butter!), anything is possible.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA (2006) Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, Stanley Tucci, Emily Blunt; Rated PG-13; 109 minutes

 Andy, a young assistant to an impossibly demanding New York fashion magazine editor, has a job that every girl would dream of. Unfortunately, her heaven-sent appointment as a personal whipping girl just might be the death of her! Based on the best-selling book by Lauren Weisberger, who did once work for Anna Wintour, the editor of Vogue magazine, we're showing this not only because it's a great movie (featuring an Oscar-worthy performance by Streep), but because the following evening, Thursday, February 25th at 7 p.m., we'll be showing The September Issue, a documentary about Wintour and Vogue, for a special mid-winter Girls Night Out. We thought it would be fun to revisit this very likeable movie featuring a not very likeable character.
