Details
Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster screen version of Peter Benchley’s best-selling novel. A killer shark is terrorizing vacationers at Amity Island and a trio of shark-hunters take to the high seas in pursuit. John Williams won an Oscar® for his ominous score. (“Duunnn dun…dun dun.”) It’s been almost 50 years and folks still think twice about going in the water. (“You’re going to need a bigger boat.”)
One Friday each month, the Kirby Center showcases a classic movie on the big screen. Each showing includes an on-screen introduction by Flashback Cinema host and Northeastern Pennsylvania native John Hersker, providing historical background on the films.
The series features two showings of each film, first at 1 p.m. and again at 7 p.m. on the same Friday. Tickets for matinee films are only $3, while evening films are just $5.
