Hey Bailey Creek! Have you seen a movie at the Orpheum Theater lately? With all of the great new movies hitting theaters this summer, it may not be too appealing to view some of the older classics in a movie theater. But if you think about it, this is your chance to get the real movie experience if you weren’t around to see it when the movie first premiered. So, the Summer Movie Series is the perfect opportunity for you to see firsthand why these movies are American Classics. Plus, you know it’s not a waste of money because you already love so many of these movies.
The theater is showing some of the greatest movies of all time, and now they are in the final stretch. I know that paying to watch movies that were released long ago may not be the most favorable thing to do this summer, but it’ can really be fun! You can make a real movie experience out of it; popcorn, candy, and the added bonus of one of the biggest theater screens in Memphis!
Actually, some of my favorite movies of all time are playing at the Orpheum. One of them, Sound of Music is actually playing tonight at 7:15 pm. All movies are showing at 7:15 pm and you can catch the matinee (10:30 am) for a few of them. Be sure to check the website for details.
So if you’re not busy, come out to the Orpheum (about 30 minutes away) and enjoy the ultimate movie expereince for yourself! Here are the remaining movies:
- The Sound of Music – July 29
- The Wizard of Oz – July 30
- Top Gun – August 19
- Rocky Horror Picture Show – August 20
- Casablanca – September 17 (What a finale!)
