Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Will Be Showing "Summer of '82" Series of Movies, Makes Us Wish We Could Move Down There ASAP.

If the increase of trailers on television are any indication, you know that summer is just around the corner. Even though you may be counting down the days until THE DARK KNIGHT RISES or STEP-UP 4, The Alamo Drafthouse in Austin has decided to celebrate summer in a different way.

The Drafthouse will be showing movies that were released in the summer of 1982, which they dub as "The Greatest Summer of Movies...Ever", which makes us want to move down to Austin, like yesterday.

Check out the trailer for this event after the jump.



Starting on May 11th with CONAN THE BARBARIAN, they will screen the films in 35mm corresponding with the weekends of their original releases, so you can relive your childhood or create a new childhood if, like me, you were born after this summer of movies.

Here is the current schedule of the films, with all of them premiering at the Alamo Ritz:

• May 11 – CONAN THE BARBARIAN
• May 18 – THE ROAD WARRIOR
• May 25 – ROCKY III
• June 1 – POLTERGEIST
• June 3 – STAR TREK II: THE WRATH OF KHAN
