Returning to select movie theaters as part of Fathom’s Big Screen Classics, Steel Magnolias is celebrating its 35th anniversary! Grab your tickets to see this movie on May 5th and 8th.

Six icons of the silver screen – Sally Field, Dolly Parton, Shirley MacLaine, Daryl Hannah, Olympia Dukakis and Julia Roberts – come together in this hilarious and heartwarming story of life, love and loss in a small Louisiana parish. At the center of the group is Shelby, newly married and joyfully pregnant, even though her diabetes could make childbirth life-threatening. Terrified at the possibility of losing her only daughter, M’Lynn looks to her four closest friends for strength and laughter as she battles her deepest fear of death to join Shelby in celebrating the miracle of new life.

A classic story of family, strength in women, and big southern hair, the big screen is the perfect way to experience the Magnolia’s Louisiana charm and celebrate 35 years of Steel Magnolias.

It’s probably been 30 years since I have seen this movie, but it was a great one. Whatever you do, be sure to bring tissues with you. I know if it was a tear-jerker when I was a teenager, it will really get me now! I’m looking forward to seeing it on the big screen.
