Warner Theatre announces summer movie schedule
TORRINGTON — The Warner Theatre presents seven spectacular summer blockbusters, as part of downtown Torrington's summer events, Thursday Night Happenings.
“Featuring some of the biggest blockbusters from Hollywood history, these family friendly films will delight audiences of all ages,” the Warner said.
The 2022 Summer Movie Series is the first of an annual series celebrating the Warner's history as a film theater. All movies begin at 7 p.m.
Kicking off the series July 7, “Grease” celebrates summer love and greaser culture through catchy songs and teenage angst.
On July 14, the animated
family favorite “Sing” brings a community of lively animals with big dreams together to save a local theater.
On July 21, “Apollo 13” remains one of the most intense true-to-life films of all time as astronaut heroes use everything in
their power to return to earth after an accident strands them in space.
“The Iron Giant” on July 28 is an animated story about the power of friendship between a young boy and a 50-foot alien robot, and what it truly means to be a hero.
“The Princess Bride”, showing Aug. 18, is one of the most quotable films of all time and an inconceivable tale of swashbuckling adventure and true love.
On Aug. 25, the original (and still the best) “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie features work by Jim Henson Studios, pizza, and wall to wall ninja action.
The series concludes Sept. 1 with “Singin' In The Rain,” an ode to Hollywood history and a Technicolor spectacle.
