Outdoor Movies This Summer

Once again, thank goodness for Brooklyn Based: she does the footwork and puts up great tip sheets for Brooklyn life. Today her “Blogletter” is all about outdoor movies in Brooklyn this summer. Think about signing up for BB’s three times a week blogletter, which is delivered directly to your inBox.

One caveat: she left out Brooklyn Film Works, which begins on July 2nd in JJ Byrne Park (Fifth Avenue and Third Street). This summer, the series is called, Democracy in Action and it opens with 1776. The show begins at dark. As always, there will be great shorts to accompany the feature. A lovely thing to do on a summer night: movies al fresco under the stars.

Back to Brooklyn Based.

When I was growing up in the sticks, one of my favorite summertime activities was dragging the TV and VCR out to the backyard (courtesy of a very long extension cord), setting up lawn chairs and watching movies outside with friends on warm summer evenings. Turns out, when you grow up and move to Brooklyn, you can watch all sorts of movies outside during the summer, no extension cords or explanations to your parents required
