It’s an ’80s flashback weekend on the big screen
Cameron Crowe’s 1989 teen rom com “Say Anything” screens as part of the N.C. Museum of Art’s Summer Outdoor Movie series Friday at the open-air Museum Theater. The coming-of-age classic, which was rescheduled from July 8 because of weather, stars John Cusack and Ione Skye as a couple whose relationship hits a few snags largely because of her overbearing father (John Mahoney). The next evening, another rescheduled event, Vincente Minnelli’s 1951 musical drama “An American in Paris,” starring Gene Kelly and Leslie Caron, is showing at the same venue. Doors open at 7 p.m., with the features starting at 8:30. $6 (free for museum members). Details: 919-715-5923 or ncartmuseum.org.
