Summer Classics Movie Series at Tampa Theatre: Featuring The Wizard of Oz and The Godfather II

The Tampa Theatre (711 N Franklin St) is my favorite place in the city. It’s also a prime location during the hot summer months.

This time of year, Tampa’s nearly 100-year-old movie palace hosts its Summer Classics Film Series. This year’s esteemed collection features titles included in the National Film Registry.
