The City of Rome’s Summer Movie Series at the Rome City Auditorium continues through Aug. 31. Seven movies will be shown during the summer-long series to appeal to a variety of audiences to include animated features, action, drama and western.

The remaining films are “Remember the Titans,” “Steel Magnolias” and “Tombstone.”

Tickets for each show are $5 a person and can be purchased at the door the day of each show. Cash and credit card payments will be accepted. Doors will open 45 minutes prior to each show. Audiences are encouraged to come dressed in theme for each movie to make the movie experience extra special.

The next two films to be screened are:

Sunday, August 11: Remember the Titans, 1 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

Filmed at Berry College, this is a biographical sports comedy-drama based on the true story of African-american coach Herman Boone and his attempt to integrate the T.C. Williams High School football team in Alexandria, Virginia in 1971. The film is considered by many to be one of the best football movies of all-time. Guests are encouraged to support their favorite football team whether it is high school, college or pro by wearing your team’s t-shirt, jersey or hat.

Thursday, August 22: Steel Magnolias, 7 p.m.

All southern belles grab your momma, sister and girlfriends and come on down to the Rome City Auditorium to see this classic movie on the big screen. If you’re a fan, you will understand Dolly Parton’s line in this movie when she says “laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.” Ladies feel free to go all out and make it a themed girl’s night out. We encourage you to break out your best 1980s southern belle outfits, hats, dress gloves and yes…. even big hair dos are welcome here for this southern classic!
