That's not all PFS has lined up for August, however. The next Throwback Thursday Quizzo and Movie is coming up on Aug. 12. "Steel Magnolias" will be screened at the Philadelphia Film Center, then there will be a few rounds of trivia.

Also at the Old City theater this month will be After Hours at the Bourse screenings. "The Slumber Party Massacre" will be shown at 9 p.m. on Aug. 20 and Aug. 27. Tickets are $9, or $5 for members.
Finally, to close out the month, an Alfred Hitchcock film will be screened at the Center City theater as part of the Film Essentials series. Catch "The Birds" on the big screen on Aug. 25. Tickets are $9, or $5 for members.
