A film and book discussion series is beginning at the Mattapoisett Library on Tuesday, Oct. 4 at 6 p.m. when the audience will view “Terms of Endearment” starring Shirley MacLaine, Debra Winger and Jack Nicholson.

The film, based on the novel by Larry McMurtry, won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Screenplay Adaption.

A discussion will follow the film, including how the book and movie measure up to one another. Refreshments will be served.

The series will continue on Nov. 15 with a screening of “The English Patient,” on Dec. 13 with “A Beautiful Mind,” and on Jan. 10 featuring “The King's Speech.”
