Elle Woods is heading to Durham, y’all—and she’s bringing the bend and snap. Flashback Flicks returns to the Washington Duke Inn’s Terrace on the Green starting Wednesday, June 4, with a screening of Legally Blonde under the stars. The June series celebrates all things campus-life (minus the all-nighters), with free popcorn and optional bar bites from Bull Durham Bar. Bring a blanket, claim your patch of lawn, and watch Elle serve justice with style.
Check out the rest of the campus-inspired movie lineup here—it’s a total throwback syllabus.
Not sponsored—we just like pink and popcorn. (Just so you know: Sponsored content in our newsletter is always marked with “*”).
