Film Festival.

Today marks the beginning of El Paso's Plaza Classic Film Festival. Running for 10 days (Aug. 6-16), the festival will be bringing some old favorites back to the big screen. Last year, I had the pleasure of watching a few movies there and it really was like watching them all for the first time. To have them presented on the big screen, the way they were meant to be seen, is truly a unique experience.

Just a few of the movies this year are Some Like It Hot, Goldfinger, Bride of Frankenstein, Reservoir Dogs and Gone with the Wind [which coincidentally celebrates it's 70th anniversary this year]. Movies will be shown in the restored Kendle Kidd Performance Hall and the smaller Philanthropy Theatre. A few movies will even be shown outdoors in the Arts Festival Plaza. These films include: A Hard Day's Night, Blazing Saddles and The Rocky Horror Picture Show, patrons are even encouraged to dress the part!

If you're looking for something to do this coming week in El Paso, definitely check this out.

Tickets are available on Ticketmaster.com and at the Plaza Box Office. Prices range from Free[for the outdoor showings] to $6 [for Kendle Kidd Performance Hall evening shows].
