Catch Your Faves at Austin’s Paramount Theatre

R&J.MoulinRouge

We’ve all got films that defined moments in our adolescence. What you went to see on your first date when you were 14. The films that seemed to find you, inspire you and even capture who you were or wanted to be in that moment. For me, two of those films are Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo & Juliet and Moulin Rouge. And something tells me they might be the same for you.

Relive the magic at Austin’s Paramount Theatre this weekend!

Saturday January 16:

Romeo & Juliet: 7pm

Moulin Rouge: 9:20pm

Sunday January 17:

Moulin Rouge: 2pm

Romeo & Juliet: 4:30pm

Check out the rest of the Paramount’s Winter Film Series here
