August 7: Rooftop Films at Hotel deLuxe | Flight of the Navigator

Another good movie event at Hotel deLuxe. I remember enjoying this film many years ago, but did not realize it had Sarah Jessica Parker and the voice of Pee-Wee. That was the makings of an instant classic.

Info from Northwest Film:

Rooftop Movies in Portland, Hotel deLuxe

FLIGHT OF THE NAVIGATOR
US 1986
DIRECTOR: RANDAL KLEISER
THU AUG 07 8:00 PM HOTEL DELUXE – 729 NW 15TH AVE
Twelve-year-old David is knocked unconscious falling down a ravine in his neighborhood and wakes up eight years later with few clues to what has transpired. The world has aged, but not David. His younger brother is now older than he is and Mom and Dad are a bit befuddled by what to do with the kid they thought long gone. NASA scientists step in to solve the mystery of what robbed him of his childhood and what may be the key to getting it back. Bring the kids for this clever alien sci-fi adventure featuring a young Sarah Jessica Parker and the voice of Paul (Pee Wee Herman) Reubens. (90 min)

Live music pre-show by Eskimo and Sons.
