Tampa Theatre, the historic movie palace usually home to arthouse fare — independent, foreign, classic, festivals — couldn’t resist the charms of Tom Cruise-caliber box office returns. Who could? So they’re bringing in the blockbuster “Top Gun: Maverick” for screenings starting this Friday, July 1.

Richard Linklater’s ’70s-buzzed period gem “Dazed and Confused” (1993), with a young Matthew McConaughey, pops in for a one-time screening July 1 (after “Maverick”).

Before that, starting today and continuing at least through June 30, comes “The Phantom of the Open,” an offbeat golf comedy starring Mark Rylance, Sally Hawkins, and Rhys Ifans.

And the theater’s Sunday-afternoon Summer Classics series continues with Rob Reiner‘s “Stand By Me” (July 3), Quentin Tarantino‘s “Pulp Fiction” (July 10), perennial family favorite “The Wizard of Oz,” Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” (July 24), Francis Ford Coppola‘s “The Godfather” (July 31), Mel Brooks’ demented Western “Blazing Saddles” (Aug. 7), Bob Fosse’s “All That Jazz” (Aug. 14), and noir-ish Humphrey Bogart classic “Casablanca” (Aug. 20-21).

The series closes with a Buster Keaton double feature — “The Cameraman” and “One Week,” with scores played live on a 1926 Wurlitzer organ — on Aug. 28.
