Coney Island Flicks on the Beach kicks off tonight with none other than the quintessential Brooklyn movie, Saturday Night Fever.

1970’s Brooklyn was a divided place between the Tony Manero types and the Disco Sucks burn outs. I was a kid who listened to disco but cringed at the “cuisines” who were taking over my borough. So much so, that I refused to see Saturday Night Fever until the mid eighties when it was on TV one night.

Now I love the movie! And I miss old Brooklyn so much that those Jersey Shore kids make me smile.

Anyhoo, the festivities start at 7pm and the film begins at 8:45.
