Campus Theater 846-6512 ■Atoka: This is the country ver sion of Woodstock. Willie Nelson and some of the best performers in the country music — Larry Gatlin, Hoyt Axton, Don Williams, David Allan Coe — have a good time pickin' and grinnin' at this musical party. Rated R. Caddyshack: Bill Murray and Chevy Chase are definitely all right in this country club version of "Animal House." Best of all is Rodney Dangerfield, who's hila rious every time he's on screen. Also starring is Ted Knight. Don't miss the gopher get down and boogie to Kenny Loggins' good music. Rated R. Manor East 823-8300 Song of the South: Walt Disney presents a basically animated ren dition of the Uncle Remus tales, complete with B'rer Rabbit and friends. The color is, of course, wonderful. This is the movie that gave us the classic song "Zip-A- Dee-Doo-Dah." Rated G. Fort Apache — The Bronx: Paul Newman and Edward Asner, two acting heavyweights, team in this New York police drama in which the police are fighting an almost losing battle against the gangs, junkies and pyromaniacs of the Bronx. Rated R. Seems Like Old Times: Goldie Hawn and Chevy Chase, two ex tremely talented comedians, star in only an average, but still funny Neil Simon movie. Chase plays Hawn's ex-bank robber husoand who eventually clashes with her current husband who's out to cap ture the inept criminal. Rated PG. Fame: The young talented actors who play the students of a New York performing arts high school want to live forever, and if they keep making movies like this one, they just may. Irene Cara sings 'Tame" and "On My Own," Anne Meara plays a teacher of one of the non-artistic classes. Rated R. Fri day and Saturday at midnight. Blues Brothers: "Saturday Night Live" dropouts, John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd, continue to pretend to be blues singers. First was their gold album, now it's their movie which features some real soul sin gers like Aretha Franklin and the James Brown. The boys are look ing for ways to save the orphanage in which they were reared. Funny, I always guessed they were hatch ed. Rated R. MSC Box Office 845-2916 The Shining: Stanley Kubrick's paradoxal attempt to make a hor ror story — it's technically perfect, but not too scary. No matter, Shel ley Duvall and Jack "Crazy-Face" Nicholson are excellent in this adaptation of Stephen King's frightening tale of ESP. Rated R. Thursday at 7:30 and 10:15 p.m. in Rudder Theatre. Urban Cowboy: John Travolta is an oil field worker by day and a Rexall Ranger by night. Seems like only yesterday when he was a hardware clerk by day and a disco king by night. Don't go for Travol ta — go for the soundtrack which, like that other Travolta film, is the best anthology of the current musical trend. Rated PG. Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. in Rudder Auditorium. Th e Hollywood Knights: Tony Danza, the dumb adorable boxer in the television series "Taxi," apparently plays in school punk in this obscure film which takes place Halloween eve in 1965. Rated R. Midnight only, Friday and Satur day in Rudder Theatre. Fame: Seems like this movie has been shown everywhere in town except for the Sun Theater. This week it's at two locations. Fortun ately the music and dancing in "Fame" make the film worth seeing again. Rated R. Sunday at 7:30 p.m. in Rudder Theatre. Nosferatu, the Vampyre: If you think Dracula is supposed to be a dashing, sophisticated Bela Legosi — watch this eerie, chilling Ger man remake of the 1922 classic film about vampires. This film makes vampires as unappealing as they were meant to be. Rated PG. Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. in Rudder Theatre. Plitt Cinema I&II 846-6714 i\ine to Five: Jane Fonda, Lilly Tomlin and Dolly Parton are over worked but underpaid secretaries with Ivan the Terrible for a boss. However, the women manage to find all sorts of amusing ways to eventually make him 'bound' to them. Parton has the best lines and delivery in her film debut. Rated PG. Stir Crazy: The two funniest men in movies, Richard Pryor and Gene Wilder, are paired in what should be an absolutely hilarious film. Well, it's not quite that great, but it's still pretty good. Pryor and Wil der are accidentally accused of rob bing a bank and accidentally sent to prison. They should have been carted to the funny farm. Rated R. ICentucky Fried Movie: A perfect midnight movie. This is a collec tion of hilarious sketches satirizes everything from the oil shortage to Kung-Fu movies.
