De Gaulle Part 1: Resistance

De Gaulle Part 1: Resistance

Wed, Nov 4, 11:30 PM
From French Movie Nights at the LycĂŠe

**Directed by** Antonin Baudry (2026) **With** Simon Abkarian, Simon Russell Beale, Florian Lesieur, Benoît Magimel, Loïc Corbery, Anamaria Vartolomei, Niels Schneider… **Runtime :** 2 hours 40 min **SNEAK PREVIEW** June, 1940. France collapses and signs the armistice. In the midst of the chaos, one man refuses to give up. Alone against the odds, this unknown general flees to London to save what remains of freedom. Without an army, without backing, without hope. But with one irrational conviction – France, his France, has not laid down arms. Taking the ultimate gamble, he seeks to convince the world that the battle for France is neither over, nor lost. Reality, however, is unyielding and seems determined to prove him wrong. Yet, little by little, resistance fighters, rebellious students and determined soldiers rise up in England, France and Africa to join the cause. Their faith, audacity and thirst for freedom defy what history seemed to have written in advance. **In French with English Subtitles. Free with RSVP.** [https://culturalcenter.lfny.org/event/de-gaulle-resistance/](https://culturalcenter.lfny.org/event/de-gaulle-resistance/) Save the date! De Gaulle Part 2: Liberty will be screened on Dec. 2.

Bad Movie Night Brooklyn + Motion Picture Pop Quiz presents: Ryan's Babe

Bad Movie Night Brooklyn + Motion Picture Pop Quiz presents: Ryan's Babe

Fri, Nov 13, 12:00 AM
From Bad Movie Night Brooklyn
4.9

Bad Movie Night Brooklyn is back at **Wild East Brewing**, and this time it's more than just a movie night! We're joining forces with **[Motion Picture Pop Quiz](https://motionpicturepopquiz.com/ "https://motionpicturepopquiz.com/")** for a hilarious, one-night only, audience-fueled gameshow experience! And what better movie to stump judges and audiences alike than the iconically baffling Rom-Com roadtrip film, **Ryan's Babe**! Declared "The Best of the Worst" by RedLetter Media, and compared to films like The Room by bad film enthusiasts, Ryan's Babe is an absolute headscratcher, filled with nonsensical plot points, ADR, deus ex machinas that go absolutely nowhere. So kick back, try to follow every bizarre twist and turn, and you might even go home with a prize or two! Plot: After being run out of town by the vengeful father of the girl he loves, Ryan discovers that hitting the road won't solve all of his problems, instead its just the beginning! Ryan falls into one circumstantial trouble after another. From getting car-jacked at gun-point, being mistaken for a mobster’s son, to a run-in with cheerleaders intent on vigilante justice, Ryan barely escapes one mess before landing in the middle of another. Finally able to go home, Ryan heads back out on the highway. But has his luck really changed, or is there only more trouble in store for our charming hero? About Motion Picture Pop Quiz: Motion Picture Pop Quiz is a movie screening party (with a trivia twist!) thats been featured in various NYC bars and movie theaters (such as Nitehawk Cinema) for the past 2 years! **Here's how it work:** * Participants will watch Ryan's Babe. * As it plays, judges will be closely watching the movie and come up with questions on the spot, these question can range from simple to hyper specific. * At the end of the section, each panelist will present their questions to the audience. * Answers will be graded on correctness OR creativity, so if you don't know the answer, just make something up * Points will be converted to entries for a randomized drawing after the film. The more points you have, the more chances you have to get picked! * So drop in at anytime! It doesn't matter how knowledgable, funny, or attentive you are, anyone can be a winner tonight!
