The Fox Theatre has announced the official movie lineup for the 2014 Coca-Cola Summer Film Festival,
sponsored by The Coca-Cola Company and Delta Airlines.
The 2014 Coca-Cola Summer
Film Festival will take audiences down memory lane beginning this June with
nine movies celebrating anniversaries: Gone With The Wind, The Wizard of
Oz, Mary Poppins Sing-A-Long, The Women, Blazing
Saddles, Young Frankenstein, Dr. Strangelove or How I Learned to
Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, Double Indemnity and Field
of Dreams, which was selected through the Fox Theatre’s Facebook fan
vote.
Additional audience favorites that will be shown on the Fox
Theatre’s 26-foot high x 56-foot-8-inch wide big screen include the 1933 version of King
Kong, Mamma Mia!, Indiana Jones and the Last
Crusade, The Philadelphia Story, and Saturday
Morning Cartoons (which will introduce children to the classics like Bugs
Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd that their parents grew up
watching and still know and love.) Audiences will also
enjoy a special treat with the double-feature of Young Frankenstein and
Blazing Saddles for one price.
In addition to enjoying a movie
under the blue sky with twinkling stars and fluffy clouds, the Coca-Cola Summer
Film Festival offers guests a magical pre-show experience that includes a
sing-along with the Mighty Mo organ and a vintage cartoon. The organist
for the Atlanta Braves, Matt Kaminski, will be a special guest organist prior
to Field of Dreams.
Special Movie Tours will be
available prior to the films, allowing guests to experience guided tours
through the projection booth, screening room, celebrity dressing rooms, and the
iconic Fox Theatre stage while learning about the history of movie palaces and
Mr. William Fox’s innovations.
