Catch classic films for cheap this summer
Summer movie season is upon us, with comic book and action movies dominating the box office — but new, full-price blockbusters aren't the only option for Columbus film lovers.
Driving the news: Two Central Ohio staples recently announced their 2025 seasons of classic films on the big screen.
📽️ CAPA's Summer Movie Series brings 28 favorites to the historic Ohio Theatre.
Tickets are $6 individually or $40 for a 10-pack.
Organist Clark Wilson provides pre-show entertainment on the theatre's " Mighty Morton."
The series spans nearly 80 years of movies, from the 1923 silent film "Safety Last!" to 1999's "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace."
📚 From Book to Film returns to the Gateway Film Center in partnership with the Columbus Metropolitan Library.
Each Saturday from this weekend through Labor Day weekend, the Gateway will play beloved family films based on books — ranging from 1935's "Bride of Frankenstein" to 2024 smash hit "The Wild Robot."
