35mm Classic Film Series
Your favorite classic movies shown on 35mm film – the way they were meant to be seen
UCPAC’s 35mm Classic Film Series is more than just great movies.
It’s a trip back in time to the days when going to the movies was an event! Each ticket comes with FREE popcorn. Make sure to come early so you don’t miss our “Biggest Little Wurlitzer” organ in action followed by a classic film short. Our 35mm Classic Film Series is ongoing and features films from all eras. Here’s what’s playing:
