Screening of the 1984 classic comedy 'Ghostbusters' on 35mm at The Parkway Theater, a vintage cinema in south Minneapolis.
The Parkway Theater is screening Ghostbusters on Saturday, October 24, at 1:00 PM, with doors opening at noon. It's part of the theater's classic-movie programming, and since it's a matinee, it works as a family outing or just a way to spend a Saturday afternoon in south Minneapolis.
If you've never seen it, the 1984 film, directed by Ivan Reitman and rated PG, follows three scientists—played by Harold Ramis, Dan Aykroyd, and Bill Murray—who lose their jobs at a New York City university and decide to set up as 'ghostbusters' to wage a high-tech battle with the supernatural. The plot kicks in when they stumble upon a gateway to another dimension that threatens to release evil upon the city, and they have to save New York from complete destruction. It's a comedy that holds up, and seeing it in a theater is a different experience than watching it at home.
There's something to be said for the venue here, too. The Parkway Theater is a vintage performing arts space and cinema in south Minneapolis that still shows old films on 35mm alongside live music and comedy. That 35mm projection is part of the draw—it's how these movies were meant to be seen, and it's a rare thing to find in the city these days. The theater's classic-movie series keeps that tradition going, and Ghostbusters fits right into it.
