Classic Film Series
Thank You for Another Incredible Summer of Film!
You made the 46th year of the Paramount Summer Classic Film Series presented by CapMetro one for the history books. Summer 2021 came with its own challenges, but your love of film and your trust in our team’s thoughtful health and safety initiatives kept the magic of the movies and community going strong.
It all made for an extra-special summer: keeping the CASABLANCA tradition, teaming up with Austin Film Society to celebrate the 30th anniversary of SLACKER with over 30 members of the cast and crew, creeping out at Hitchcock Week, closing out with a James Dean trilogy, and so much more.
Relive Film Programmer Stephen Jannise’s 2021 Summer Classic Film Series lineup below, and stay tuned for Holiday Films in December! Special shout out to our extraordinary series partner, CapMetro, and our passionate Film Fan Club members for all the support.

Transit Options
While finding parking in downtown Austin can be a challenge, finding a transit line that gets you there is easy! Try transit to and from the Paramount Theatre. It costs less than covered parking and you’ll avoid circling the city looking for a spot. Nearby transit stops include 8th/Congress, 8th/Lavaca, 8th/Guadalupe, 7th/Colorado or take MetroRail to the Downtown Station.
Transit Routes: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10, 19, 20, 30, 801, 803, 985 and MetroRail will get you there!
