Community Movie Night Season Opens With Gangster Film ‘Scarface’

For years, there have been Friday night community movies at Pleasants Park, next to Pine Street Baptist Church.

But this year, the chief organizer behind these movie nights is about to realize a longtime dream of showing in the park the 1983 film Scarface, starring Al Pacino. It is scheduled for just a few weeks as the season opener. Yes, he knows that he will be relying on parents to keep their children from being influenced or frightened by the film’s excessive violence, frequent strong language and graphic hard drug usage. But after decades of showing more family-friendly fare, he is ready to take more chances with his screenings, and hopes nearby neighbors will indulge him.

“I am a big DePalma fan”, he says, “And who can forget Pacino?
‘You wanna play rough? Okay. Say hello to my little friend!'” (with accent).

Free grilled hot dogs and beverages will be served as long as supplies last. The full schedule for the series has not yet been announced.
