Wanna See Some Classic Movies on the Big Screen?
The West Coast Film Festival in San Juan Capistrano's got that, films you know by one name: Wizard, Shawshank, Clockwork, Amadeus and more.

The West Coast Film Festival in San Juan Capistrano is back, with a lot of heavy hitters you haven’t seen on the big screen in some time.
Former Warner Bros. big wig Robert Klein and his movie producing wife Stephanie Heredia started the festival at the then-recently renovated Regency Theater four years ago. Since then, the festival has grown to incorporate new venues in the Ocean Institute and St. Margaret’s Episcopal School.
Here’s what’s on tap at this year’s film fest, which runs Aug. 27-31 (oh yeah, buy tickets here):
