The Wizard of Oz - July 12
Montalvo kicks off its Sunset Cinema series with family favorite The Wizard of Oz, celebrating the film's 80th anniversary. In this beloved classic, a tornado whisks Dorothy (Judy Garland) and her dog, Toto, from Kansas to the magical land of Oz. Dorothy's quest to return home takes her down the Yellow Brick Road toward the Emerald City to meet the all-powerful Wizard. Joining forces with a Scarecrow (Ray Bolger) that needs a brain, a Tin Man (Jack Haley) missing a heart, and a Cowardly Lion (Bert Lahr) who wants courage, they triumph over the Wicked Witch of the West (Margaret Hamilton) in this tuneful musical that has captivated generations.
Rated G.

Grease (Sing-Along!) - July 26
Moviegoers will be invited to experience the friendships, romances and adventures of a group of high school kids in the 1950s with the special sing-along presentation of Grease. This enduring favorite movie musical follows a wholesome exchange student (Olivia Newton-John) and a leather-clad Danny (John Travolta) whose summer romance falters when their social circles clash.
Rated PG.

Jaws - August 2

The Sunset Cinema series finishes with a screening of drama/mystery film, Jaws. When a young woman is killed by a shark while skinny-dipping near the New England tourist town of Amity Island, police chief Martin Brody (Roy Scheider) wants to close the beaches, but mayor Larry Vaughn (Murray Hamilton) overrules him, fearing that the loss of tourist revenue will cripple the town. Ichthyologist Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) and grizzled ship captain Quint (Robert Shaw) offer to help Brody capture the killer beast, and the trio engage in an epic battle of man vs. nature.

Rated R.
