Head to Ragtag Cinema on Monday at 6 p.m. for a showing of “Sleepless in Seattle.”

“Sleepless in Seattle follows Sam Baldwin’s (played by Tom Hanks) move to Seattle with his son Jonah to restart their lives after the tragic death of his wife. A year after their move, Jonah calls in to a talk-radio program and gets his reluctant father to share about his loneliness. Moved by Sam’s devotion to his late wife, thousands of women write letters to him, including Baltimore-based journalist Annie Reed (played by Meg Ryan), who is soon sent on assignment to Seattle to meet the father-son pair. This romance drama from acclaimed writer-director Nora Ephron remains one of the top-grossing romance films in Hollywood.

This film is selected as part of Ragtag’s Extra Credit series, which re-examines pop-culture cinema through an academic lens, as University of Missouri researchers from across the scholarly spectrum collide to poke, prod and dissect films. There will be a panel discussion after the movie ends.

Tickets are free for Ragtag members, or cost $11 for adults and $9 for children/seniors.
