It’s all ’80s, all weekend at the Salmar Classic Theatre with the return of the films that celebrate that decade from March 4 to 6.
=Steven Spielberg’s 1941 is the featured film Friday night at 9 p.m. It is based after Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor when residents of California descend into a wild panic, afraid that they might be the next target. Among them are Wild Bill Kelso (John Belushi), a crazed National Guard pilot; Sgt. Frank Tree (Dan Aykroyd), a patriotic, straight-laced tank crew commander; Ward Douglas(Ned Beatty), a civilian willing to help with the American war effort at any cost; and Maj. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell (Robert Stack), who tries his hardest to maintain sanity amid the chaos.
Other films include: National Lampoon’s Vacation, Labyrinth, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Crocodile Dundee, Rocky IV, The Untouchables, Brewster’s Millions, Willow, Ghostbusters II, James Bond: Never Say Never Again and Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome.
For a full schedule of show times and admission prices, see, Salmon Arm ’80s Film Festival on Facebook. Admission is $7 per adult and $4 per child. A five-film pass is $30. There will be prizes for the best ’80s costumes. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Cancer Society.
