Gone With The Wind

Film Rating: G

Based on Margaret Mitchell’s bestseller, GONE WITH THE WIND was the most talked-about movie of its era. A sweeping epic on the grandest of scales, it quickly became both a blockbuster and an Oscar magnet, winning eight Academy Awards. The combustible passion between Scarlett O’Hara (Vivien Leigh) and Rhett Butler (Clark Gable) was hotter than the flames of Atlanta and defined cinematic romance for generations to come. Its impact on American culture was enormous and enduring. However, it was not without controversy. Come out to your Hometown Theatre to see the Classic on the Big Screen

We’re hopelessly devoted to GREASE, with its lovable characters, doo-wop style, and, of course, those endlessly catchy tunes. To celebrate this timeless classic, we’re putting together a Sing-Along Movie Party for all you T-Birds and Pink Ladies out there (beauty school dropouts also welcome). Since this is a Sing-Along, we’ll have the lyrics up onscreen to help every Danny, Sandy, Rizzo, and Kenickie in the audience get in on the fun.  Pump up the fun by dressing up in your favorite 50s attire or Grease character!
