Want to Know What's Playing at the Show, Feb. 8-10?

The 1986 classic, Top Gun-IMAX 3D, starring Tom Cruise, is featured this weekend.

Why not check out the Classic 1986 heart-throb movie, "Top Gun" in 3D. Tom Cruise stars as a smart-aleck Navy pilot name Maverick with pal Goose, starring Anthony Edwards, famed for his role in the television drama, ER (1994-2009), as they progress through flight training school. Lots of inferred romance between Kelly McGillis, a flightschool teacher, and Marverick, who eventually overcomes his lack of confidence. 

The in-air flight scenes should be great in 3D.

The newly released, "Warm Bodies," a zombie love story is playing as well.
