Whether you’re using the weekend to wind down or celebrating Father’s Day, Los Angeles has a lot to offer you. From films at a drive-in to The Happening premiering on Friday the 13th and the FIFA World Cup Qualifier, there are more than enough activities for you and Dad.

FILM

  • Angel City Drive-In: Meatballs | Saturday, June 14, 2008 | 7 p.m. | $10 | Angel City Drive-In - Map | The week is over, you’re happy and I’m happy. One of the best things you can do on a Saturday night is go see Bill Murray’s film debut in the camp classic, Meatballs at a Drive-In. Food will be provided by the Angel City Derby Girls, there is new Astroturf and DJ Morgan will be playing songs before the movie beings. If you’ve never been to a Drive-In (shame on you), you should know that your FM Transmitter puts the sound into your car and you are welcome to BYOB.
  • Charlie Chaplin Father’s Day Matinee | Sunday, June 15, 2008 | 1 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m. | $12 | Silent Movie Theatre - Map | In honor of Father’s Day, the Silent Movie Theatre presents a classic Chaplin film, “The Kid.” The story begins when “The Tramp” adopts an abandoned baby he discovers in an alley and raises him as his own, and teaches him a few things about schemes and cons along the way.

SPORTS

  • 2010 FIFA World Cup Qualifier: USA vs. Barbados | Sunday, June 15, 2008 | 2 p.m. | $25 - 70 | Home Depot Center - Map | If you’re into soccer or football as they call it overseas, it might be fun to go see this game ( and take Dad along with you ). The United States versus Barbados in this World Cup Qualifier game.
