Where Were You in 1976? A Look Back at Bicentennial Cinema: The Bad News Bears, 6pm Bicentennial Pre-show by Deserted Films/ 6:30pm Feature

Thursday, June 18
The Bad News Bears (1976, Michael Ritchie)

“This quitting thing, it’s a hard habit to break once you start.”

As American as… Full disclosure: when we programmed this series we thought this would be our free kids matinee. That’s the role it played in our lives! Then we re-watched it. Wow! It is hysterically funny, wildly inappropriate (broad trigger warnings in full effect), and a pretty accurate comedic look at some notions that were top of mind in 1976. It is also, to our minds, Gen X’s origin story. Plus, Walter Matthau!
Is it a kids movie? You make the call!

ABOUT THE SERIES

Where Were You in 1976?

A look back at bicentennial cinema…

The USA turns 250 years old this year. It’s a BIG birthday! So we’ve put together a series that looks back at our last big birthday…the bicentennial of 1976. Four “prime time” movies in the evenings and one VERY SPECIAL all-ages, FREE, family friendly matinee brought to you by the Palm Springs Public Library. It’s our birthday gift toPalm Springs and we can’t wait to see you!

Deserted Films, the Palm Springs Public Library, and the Palm Springs Cultural Center have teamed up to bring you 5 key films to get us thinking about where we were when we hit 200.

Deserted Films will present a special pre-show (6-6:30) before each feature… and we’ve got some spectacular bicentennial-era home movies and other goodies to share!

Enjoy the PSCC AC! Meet interesting people! See things you can’t see on TV or anywhere else! And support a couple of filmy nonprofits that need your help in the Summer!

Come make the Palm Springs Cultural Center your third place to relax into a look back at 1976 and help Deserted Films continue their mission to digitize home movies shot in and around our valley!
