Screen on the Green’s final film: ‘Footloose’
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The final film for this year’s free Screen on the Green will be … (drumroll, please) … 1984’s “Footloose” with a toe-tapping Kevin Bacon.
Moviegoers voted online at Peachtreetv.com for Screen on the Green’s fifth and final film to be shown on June 26. The losers: “Rocky” and “Back to the Future.”
The series starts May 29 with “Jaws” at Centennial Olympic Park. Other films will be “Big Momma’s House” on June 5, “Chicago” on June 12 and “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” on June 19.
Due to the drought, this year’s Screen on the Green was temporarily moved from Midtown’s Piedmont Park to downtown.
By the way, guess I should have voted in the final film selection. I would have preferred “Back to the Future.”
What’s your feeling about the choice of “Footloose”? Will you go to Screen on the Green this year?

Why are they showing E.T. again?! And why is Big Momma’s House being shown? They pick the worst movies to be shown at this event. Would love to see Annie.
