Paramount Theatre presents its Summer Classic Film Series at State Theatre, featuring classic films throughout August.
Paramount Theatre is running its Summer Classic Film Series over at State Theatre, and it's a double-feature kind of thing. The series is part of Paramount's annual summer cinema program, which runs through the end of August, so this isn't just a one-off weekend—it's a whole stretch of screenings you can pick and choose from. If you've got a few free nights this month, you can keep coming back.
This particular weekend gives you two very different vibes to choose from. Friday is a double bill of Josie and the Pussycats and The Cheetah Girls—two early-2000s girl-group movies back-to-back, so it's a high-energy, nostalgic kind of night. Sunday takes a sharp turn into the classics: To Kill a Mockingbird and Harold and Maude. One's a heavy-hitting piece of American literature on screen, the other a quirky, dark comedy about an unlikely friendship between a young man and an elderly woman. Between the two days, you've got a full range of tones to work with, and since they're double features, you're getting two movies for the price of one outing.

Because the series runs through August 30, you don't have to cram everything into one weekend. You can catch the early-2000s double feature on Friday and then come back for the classics on Sunday, or just pick the pair that fits your mood. The whole thing is presented by Paramount Theatre and hosted at State Theatre in Austin, and it keeps going until the end of the month.
