Richard Thomas stars in this take-oft of Star Wars made about
three years too late.
Rated PG.
BLUE LAGOON (Plitt Cinema l&ll) Supposedly is a story of natural
love between two innocent adolescents — Brooke Shields and
Chris Atkins, if you can belive that. Rated R.
CADDYSHACK (Manor East,) Chevy Chase, Rodney Dangerfield

"Animal House.” Rated R.
CLINT EASTWOOD FILM FESTIVAL (Campus Theater) All the
Clint Eastwood films someone could possibly watch in one night.
Ratings vary; Friday midnight only.

about a barbeque party where people are the main course, so
don’t eat before the show. Rated R for repulsive.

Robert Redford team up in a movie about free spirits, commercial
ism and (of course) love. Rated PG.

winning performance as the successful, but controversial gener
al. Rated PG; Saturday midnight only.

Nivens star in the original, which is still one of the funniest
comedies of the Sixties. Rated PG; Sunday only.
RICHARD PRYOR - LIVE IN CONCERT (Rudder Theater) A typic
al Pryor concert — outrageous, irreverent and hysterical. Not for
those easily offended. Rated R.
SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT II (Manor East) Again Burt Reynolds

speeding through the South without getting caught. Rated PG.
TERROR TRAIN (Rudder Theater) Aggies get a free preview of a
soon-to-be-released film about a fraternity party gone haywire.
Rated R; Saturday only.
