CLASSIC MOVIES

February 4, 1999 PAGE 5 THEVISTA Movie night brings recognition to English Society

By David Bradley Staffi#nier

Explosions, gunfights and sex. These three words seem to epitomize film-making today.

Now, some UCO students want to bring back the classics of Hollywood's golden age.

The English Society is now underway with Campus Life Enhancement Night, a new event at UCO.

Movie night was developed last semester, after an idea by English Society Member Carletta Rehbine and English Instructor Tim Morales. The original"Psycho," "Citizen Kane" and "North by Northwest" are a few films that were played. "We really got a lot of good responses last semester," Rehbine said. "I think it became very popular."

According to Rehbine, that's one of the main reasons it's coming back this semester. The films to be featured are popular, yet rare. "We wanted to show classic movies that are not often played these days," Rehbine said.

The movie night is a fundraiser for the English Society. Admission is free, but snacks and drinks are sold.

Some films to be shown this semester include "Casablanca" and even "Monty Python's Quest for the Holy Grail." "Psycho" is the only movie returning from last semester. "We also wanted to throw in 'The Blues Brothers,' because that's definitely something different," Rehbine said.

One of the more 'different' films shown last semester was "Animal House." Some professors cancelled classes so students would be able to attend.

Attendance gradually increased as the semester went on, with students, and even parents, coming to the shows. "We've had a lot of attendance, but the number has varied depending on the movie being shown," Rehbine said. "The first time we showed "Psycho," only about 20 people showed up just because not many knew about it."

Campus Life Enhancement Night takes place in the Pegasus Theater of the Liberal Arts Building. The event has to work around the schedule of teachers, so times and days are not standard. "A lot of people come by and ask what we're doing while we're setting up," Rehbine said. "It really helps in getting the word out."

No one has said whether the movie night will return next semester, but Rehbine is very proud of its accomplishments so far. "We (English Society) are building an identity for ourselves on campus, and we're getting a lot of recognition from society," Rehbine said. "This Enhancement Night is something we're very proud of."
