Movies at FVB

 

Movies are selected and shown by members of the FVB Movie Committee. They are shown in the 4th floor auditorium at 7:30 PM, on Thursdays and Saturdays. Movies are subtitled or closed captioned whenever possible, to aid those who have impaired hearing.  Residents are encouraged to suggest movies by entering the names in the In-House loose-leaf book on the second floor. Movie trailers (movie previews) are now  included on this page. A trailer appears immediately below the movie description. Click or tap on the arrowhead in the middle of the trailer window to watch the trailer. Click or tap on the ll icon at the bottom left of the trailer window to pause. (These trailers generally are taken from YouTube, and may include advertisements. If a pop-up advertisement appears while you're watching the trailer, just click on the X at theupper right of the advertisement, and it will go away, or if there is no X, just wait for the ad to end.)
