Classic Film Series

Last year, the Paramount Theatre celebrated its 100th birthday, and now, as the Paramount Summer Classic Film Series marks its 41st year, we are ushering in a new era thanks to the arrival of digital cinema (DCP) at the Paramount, along with an all-new, crystal-clear sound system and a shimmering new screen. Don’t worry, 35mm fans: we will continue to champion the preservation and exhibition of actual film by showing 35mm and 70mm prints whenever available. DCP simply allows us to expand the catalog of movies we bring to you every summer, so look forward to seeing dozens of movies this summer that have not been featured at the Paramount in quite a long time, if ever. From pristine film prints to all-new digital restorations, this year’s series will be a more enticing and inviting escape from the Austin heat than ever before!
