$10,000

Sometimes your brain, just like your body, needs to be flushed of all the toxins you’ve been dumping into it, especially if you’ve been streaming a lot of Netflix. No remedy for that at Whole Foods, but the Dallas Film Society, along with Morning News critic Chris Vognar and the Angelika, is taking a crack with its latest film series: Make ‘Em Laugh: A Look at Modern American Comedies.

And they’ve plucked some good ones:

Aug 9: DUCK SOUP (1933)

Sept 13: SULLIVAN’S TRAVELS (1941)

Oct. 11: SOME LIKE IT HOT (1959)

Nov. (date tbd): DR STRANGELOVE (1964)

Dec 13: ANNIE HALL (1977)

Jan. 10: RAISING ARIZONA (1987)

Screenings are free, but you’ll have to RSVP within 10 days of each screening, so make a Google event or something.
