Presented in partnership with local favorites Run Out Groove Records and Be Kind Video, Movies that ROCK! invites the Burbank community to relive some of the most unforgettable films of the decade, all under the stars.

The series is part of UMe’s year-long celebration of its 85th anniversary—and what better way to mark the occasion than by throwing it back to the era of mixtapes, neon, and big-screen magic? Taking it back to the 80s feels like the perfect way to honor UMe’s long history in Burbank while celebrating the fun, community-focused spirit that still defines the Credit Union today.

Schedule:

  • May 30: Ferris Buellers Day Off
  • June 27: E.T. The Extra Terrestrial
  • July 25: Raiders of the Lost Ark
  • August 29: Top Gun

Location: UMe Parking Lot – 3000 W Magnolia Blvd, Burbank

Time:
6:00 PM – Food Trucks
6:30 PM – Trivia & Entertainment

The event coincides with Magnolia Park’s popular Food Truck Fridays, so attendees can expect a variety of delicious food trucks lined up along Magnolia Boulevard—perfect for grabbing dinner before the movie. Picnic blankets and lawn chairs are welcome, and the event is completely free and open to all ages.

“We created Movies that ROCK! especially for our members, friends, and neighbors—because U matter to Me,” said Anita Hutchinson, Chief Marketing Officer at UMe Credit Union. “U+Me isn’t just something we say—it’s a reflection of how much we care about the people we serve. It’s baked right into our name. After 85 years in Burbank, we still love finding new ways to bring people together, have fun, and celebrate the incredible community we’re lucky to call home.”

“The soundtracks from these films rocked just as hard as the movies themselves,” said Jeff Ferguson, co-owner of Run Out Groove Records. “It’s amazing to see those sounds still resonate today, and even better to share them with a new wave of families, fans, and future record collectors.”

“These movies are the reason I fell in love with film in the first place,” said Matthew Renoir, owner of Be Kind Video. “They’re fun, heartfelt, and unforgettable. Getting to show them the way they were meant to be seen—on a big screen, with a crowd—is pure magic.”
