Once upon a time, long before the multiplex and the media’s obsession with weekend box-office grosses, families would head to the neighborhood cinema on Sunday afternoons to enjoy the latest western, comedy or musical. In the spirit of the old-fashioned moviegoing experience, the UCLA Film and Television Archive will screen two of the best-loved, big-screen musicals--”Meet Me in St. Louis” and “Singin’ in the Rain”--as part of its Kids’ Flicks series. Refreshments will be served during the intermission.

* “Meet Me in St. Louis” and “Singin’ in the Rain,” James Bridges Theater, northeast corner of UCLA, near the intersection of Hilgard Avenue and Sunset Boulevard, West Los Angeles. $4 to $6. (310) 206-FILM.
