A host of classic motion pictures of interest to theatre fans—including the movie musicals South Pacific, Grease, and White Christmas—are headed back to the silver screen in 2018.
In fact, six decades of Hollywood hits will fill movie theatres across the country next year as Fathom Events and Turner Classic Movies present 13 films spanning the 1930s to the 1990s, each accompanied by specially produced commentary from TCM hosts.
