Much like Marty McFly, we’ll be leaving the modern world for a trip Back to the Future to a time of Drive-In movies on May 18^th in Downtown 

Lafayette! Marty McFly, a typical American teenager of the Eighties, is accidentally sent back to 1955 in a plutonium-powered DeLorean "time 

machine" invented by slightly mad scientist. During his often hysterical, always amazing trip back in time, Marty must make certain his teenage 

parents-to-be meet and fall in love - so he can get back to the future.

May 25 – The Neverending Story

Parc International, 200 Garfield Street | Gates open at 6pm

Bastian is a young boy who lives a dreary life being tormented by school bullies. On one such occasion he escapes into a book shop where 

the old proprietor reveals an ancient story-book to him, which he is warned can be dangerous. Shortly after, he "borrows" the book and begins 

to read it in the school attic where he is drawn into the mythical land of Fantasia, which desperately needs a hero to save it from destruction.

June 1 – Despicable Me

Parc International, 200 Garfield Street | Gates open at 6pm

In a happy suburban neighborhood surrounded by white picket fences with flowering rose bushes, sits a black house with a dead lawn. 

Unbeknownst to the neighbors, hidden beneath this home is a vast secret hideout. Surrounded by a small army of minions, we discover Gru, 

planning the biggest heist in the history of the world. He is going to steal the moon. (Yes, the moon!) Gru delights in all things wicked. Armed 

with his arsenal of shrink rays, freeze rays, and battle-ready vehicles for land and air, he vanquishes all who stand in his way. Until the day he encounters the immense will of three little orphaned girls who look at him and see something that no one else has ever seen: a potential Dad. 

The world's greatest villain has just met his greatest challenge: three little girls named Margo, Edith and Agnes.

October 19 – Where the Wild Things Are

Parc International, 200 Garfield Street

A young boy named Max has an active imagination, and he will throw fits if others don't go along with what he wants. Max - following an incident

with Claire (his sister) and her friends, and following a tantrum which he throws as a result of his Mother paying more attention to her boyfriend

than to him - runs away from home. Wearing his wolf costume at the time, Max not only runs away physically, but runs toward a world in his imagination. This world, an ocean away, is inhabited by large wild beasts, including one named Carol who is much like Max himself in

temperament. Instead of eating Max like they normally would with creatures of his type, the wild things befriend Max after he proclaims himself

a king who can magically solve all their problems. 

October 26 – Night of the Living Dead (1968)
