SERIES PREMIERE! of Sixteen Candles (1984)
Rated R
was there a Director’s cut?
Yeah, that’s an error on CAPA’s end. Sixteen Candles is rated PG in spite of its nudity and utterance of the fabled PG-rated “F” bomb. It’s amazing what you could get away with in the 80s.
Get away with things in the 80s? I thought “ratings creep” meant that movies could get away with more now compared to what they used to…

Does anyone know how these will be projected? Are they 35mm prints or DVD projection or something else?
CAPA SILENT FILM SCREENING TO OFFER FREE ANTIQUE CAR SHOW
On Thursday and Friday, July 12 and 13, CAPA will offer a nostalgic return to the late 1920s with the CAPA Summer Movie Series’ premiere of silent film Robin Hood starring Douglas Fairbanks and a free antique car show.
Beginning at 6 pm each night, the Scioto Model ‘A’ Ford Club will display their antique automobiles (c. 1928-31) in front of the Ohio Theatre (39 E. State St.). http://www.SciotoModelA.org
At 7:30 pm each night, the CAPA Summer Movie Series will screen silent film Robin Hood, preserved by The Museum of Modern Art with support from The Celeste Bartos Film Preservation Fund, which will be accompanied live by featured organist Clark Wilson on the Ohio Theatre’s historic “Mighty Morton” theatre organ.
Featured film:
Robin Hood (1922)
Thursday & Friday, July 12 & 13, 7:30 pm daily
Accompanied live by Clark Wilson on the Ohio Theatre’s prized “Mighty Morton” organ!
Starring “The King of Hollywood” Douglas Fairbanks, this is the first film ever to have a Hollywood premiere, held at Grauman’s Egyptian Theatre on October 18, 1922. One of the most expensive films of the 1920s, this action adventure silent film offers plenty of swashbuckling and cliffhanging escapades for all ages.
Tickets:
Day-of-show tickets are $4 and go on sale one hour prior to show time at the Ohio Theatre kiosk. Senior citizen tickets are available for $3.50. Now through July 29, strips of 10 tickets are available for $25, a savings of $1.50 per ticket. Strip tickets are good for any film in any combination.
