Bring the family for a fun Christmas in July weekend with NATIONAL LAMPOON'S CHIRSTMAS VACATION, ELF and MIRACLE ON 34TH STREET and meet the new Rike's Elves Gustaf and Gigi. Or, bring a date to the Disaster Weekend featuring THE POSEIDEN ADVENTURE, THE TOWERING INFERNO, and EARTHQUAKE."

"We also have old and new classic films ADAM'S RIB, THE PRINCESS BRIDE, IRMA LA DOUCE, and ANNIE GET YOUR GUN. Our Reel Late at the VIC series continues with the return of THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW on July 14 and MONTY PYTHON'S THE HOLY GRAIL on Aug. 11. We are still using 35 mm prints as much as possible, keeping the prices low, and, of course, free popcorn and soda at most every show."
