Summer Film Series continues with Point Break

The Abell Summer Film Series "Summer of Swayze" continues this week with Point Break. Swayze takes it to 11 on the Swayze scale while keeping his cool in a high stakes series of bank heists, skydiving and surfing escapades. Extreme! An early directing credit to Kathryn Bigelow gives the film some substance, allowing the improbable undercover cop duo of Gary Busey and Keanu Reeves to gain depth that couldn't be replicated in the 2015 remake. As Swayze's surf guru character Bohdi reminds us: "Little hand says it's time to rock and roll".

Films are shown in the Waverly Main Street Park adjacent to the Farmer's Market lot off 32nd Street at Brentwood Lane, between Barclay & Greenmount, on Friday evenings at dusk. All showings are free to the public. For the complete schedule, see below.
