FantasticRealm Film Series

SAFETY COMMITMENT: Your safety is our top priority. The Carolina Theatre of Durham has upgraded our HVAC systems and filtration to provide the safest air possible and increased our cleaning to GBAC Star-certified COVID standards. Masks are recommended to be worn while inside the theater but are no longer required. Please note, entry requirements are subject to change. Learn more.

These are the movie memories of your childhood. They once fired your imagination, made you laugh and cheer, and provided clear-as-glass heroes and villains. The iconic imagery in these movies—subconsciously or not—became the stuff of your daydreams. They are nostalgic, and joyous, and meant to be shared with your family and friends. The Retro Film Series invites you—and those you love—back to the realm of your favorite, most-cherished movie memories.
