Here We Go Again: Celebrate the Nostalgia of the 80's on the Big Screen

For the second year in a row Columbia County travels back to the 80's for its annual outdoor movie event.

From crane kicking underdogs to globetrotting adventure seekers, some of the most iconic films from everyone's favorite decade were from the summer of '84, which means (if you're counting) this year marks the 30th anniversary of their release. And what better way to celebrate this milestone birthday than bringing a few of them back to the big screen? 

So break out your bandannas and your best martial arts moves because we're kicking things off (pun intended) with The Karate Kid on Friday, September 26th. Watch as washing cars and painting fences take on a whole new meaning as a bullied teen, with the help of an unassuming martial arts expert, take on a vicious group of karate wielding Cobra Kais.

Fun Fact: Did you know that Charlie Sheen was originally offered the role of Daniel LaRusso? 

The Catchphrase Cafe will be serving up food and refreshments so join us for dinner and a movie! The fun gets under way at 7pm with the movie starting promptly at dark. 

On October 3rd join Indy and his sidekicks as they navigate their way through dangerous catacombs in search of a sacred, mystical stone in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. Directed by Steven Spielberg and produced and co-written by George Lucas, The Temple of Doom is the second installment of the Indiana Jones franchise and serves as a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark. 

IMDB lists this movie as having a PG rating but did you know that it was because of this film (as well as Ghostbusters, which debuted around the same time) that the PG-13 rating was created? This film is not recommended for small children.

Chick-Fil-A is our featured vendor of the evening. The Catchphrase Cafe will back to handle refreshments as well. Admission to each of these movies is only $2 with free admission for children 3 and under. For more information visit columbiacountyga.gov or call 706-650-5005.
