While The Belcourt has always been a wonderful place to take in exciting new arthouse films and beloved auteur classics, the Summer at the Movies series served up hearty helpings of comfort food. Everything from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory played during the monthlong series, capped with the biggest bang possible: the original Star Wars trilogy. Screening series like this are great ways to introduce the theater to a broader — and younger — audience. For regulars, it’s just another excuse to nestle in at your favorite movie theater and take in a classic.
