Mattresses gone with the wind when gusts hit outdoor movie event

Steven Adams | Tuesday, August 20, 2019 12:01 a.m.

A movie night event in Denver, Colorado, was spoiled by high winds on Saturday.

“Gone With the Wind” would have been an appropriate selection for this outdoor movie event.

It had the appearance of a choreographed performance when a flock of untethered air mattresses danced across a field. The inflatable beds were intended for moviegoers in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday night but the plot took a windy twist.

Robb Manes was quick enough to capture the comical scene on video.

It’s even more humorous when a soundtrack is added and Twitter users wasted no time.

Chariots of Fire is a natural.

Ride of the Valkyries works well.

The best? The answer is blowing in the wind.

For the Looney Tunes animated version.

Here's another soundtrack option, sounding somewhat cinematic and highbrow:Franz von Suppe's Light Cavalry Overture (that music that you hear in old cartoons that's associated with horses.)(Sound on.) pic.twitter.com/DvE3uGZEel
