The Goonies (1985) is celebrating its 40th anniversary. And what better way to bask in glorious nostalgia than to catch the cult film favorite for free this Saturday on the 18-by-32-foot LED video wall in the Will Naylor Smith River Walk Plaza, the Tobin Center’s outdoor venue. The H-E-B Cinema Series will transport viewers back in time as they watch a teenage cast, including Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman and Kerri Green save their neighborhood via an amalgam of pirate treasure map adventures and campy coming-of-age comedy antics.
No outside food or drinks are permitted, but the open-air venue offers concessions and a full bar. Moviegoers are encouraged to bring their own lawn chairs or blankets.
Cinema nights take place every second Saturday of the month, rain or shine, moving indoors if necessary.
Free, 7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 9, Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, 100 Auditorium Circle, (210) 223-3333, tobincenter.org.
