It's not like they didn't warn us. Our first Volunteer of the Month pick for June comes courtesy of Jasmine, who has picked legendary filmmaker M Night Shyamalan's 2002 nerve-shredding Sci Fi thriller Signs! Set on an isolated Pennsylvania farm, the film follows former minister Graham Hess (Mel Gibson) as he and his family begin discovering enormous crop circles appearing in their fields. As strange lights, unsettling broadcasts, and inexplicable encounters begin mounting across the globe, Graham, his brother Merrill (Joaquin Phoenix), and his children are forced to confront the terrifying possibility that something is watching them from the darkness beyond the cornfields. Mixing an alien invasion spectacle movie with an intimate story about grief, Signs is as masterfully tense as it is emotional. There's nothing quite like seeing an M Night movie on the big screen.

Director: Steven Soderbergh Run Time: 119 min. Release Year: 2017
Starring: Adam Driver, Channing Tatum, Daniel Craig, Katie Holmes, Riley Keough
Our second Volunteer of the Month is courtesy of Jonathan V., who has chosen Steven Soderbergh's star-studded heist comedy Logan Lucky! Channing Tatum stars as Jimmy Logan, a West Virginia construction worker who recruits his brother Clyde (Adam Driver) and an eccentric crew to rob the Charlotte Motor Speedway during the Coca-Cola 600. Their plan hinges on the help of Joe Bang, a bombastic explosives expert played by Daniel Craig in one of the funniest performances of his career. A caper comedy mixed with an underdog story in only the way Soderbergh can deliver, Logan Lucky swaps the sleek glamour of traditional heist films for dive bars and race tracks, making it warmhearted crowd-pleaser that plays best...where else? The big screen!
