Summer Classic Movies At The Ritz: "Close Encounters of the Third Kind"

Golden Isles Arts & Humanities presents Summer Classic Movies at the Ritz every Thursday in July!

The film for July 23 is "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Steven Spielberg wrote and directed this 1977 favorite about a line worker (Richard Dreyfuss) who after an encounter with U.F.O.s, feels undeniably drawn to an isolated area in the wilderness where something spectacular is about to happen.

MTR Real Estate will serve free, freshly popped popcorn in the lobby while it lasts. Door prizes for the series are being provided by downtown businesses, Last Ride Ghost Tours, The Farmer and the Larder, Color Me Happy, Golden Isles Brew Supply, Indigo Coastal Shanty and the Downtown Development Authority.

Filmgoers are encouraged to come in costume or dress up to show their classic film spirit. Secret judges will select their favorite at each movie screening to win a special prize. Buy your ticket at the Ritz box office beginning at 5 p.m. on show night and take it to Fox’s Pizza Downtown for 10 % off your bill and priority dining to get you back in time for the movie. Fox’s will also be hosting movie-related trivia contests each night of the series. Additionally, ticket holders can show their tickets at Tipsy McSway’s for one free draft beer after the show.

Admission to each show in the Summer Classic Movies series is still only $5 for all ages. The box office opens at 5 p.m. Cartoons and shorts begin at 6:30 p.m. with the movie screening at 7 p.m. For more information call (912) 262-6934 or visit goldenislesarts.org.
