80s Classic Comedy Film Fest
Come on a rip-roaring nostalgia trip back to the decade of 'big hair, mix tapes and extreme fashion' at Glasgow Science Centre's 80s Classic Comedy Film Fest as part of Glasgow Comedy Festival!
About 80s Classic Comedy Film Fest
The 1980s produced arguably some of the greatest comedy films of all time and we’re itching to throw on our acid-washed jeans and tie up our hair with velvet scrunchies to re-live this fluorescent age of blockbuster movies.
There are 9 hilarious flicks to choose from in the IMAX Theatre over the course of three consecutive weekends on 18 & 19 March, 25 & 26 March, and 1 & 2 April.
The films are:
Airplane!
Back to the Future
Big
The Blues Brothers
Caddyshack
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Ghostbusters
The Goonies
Spaceballs
All films at the 80s Classic Comedy Film Fest are presented in standard, non-IMAX format.
