Free Movies in NYC
Some of the best summer pleasures are free -- walks on the beach, time with your family, and a more relaxed pace in general. This summer, you can see movies for free, too. We already reported about AMC Theater's free movie offer; now we want to tell you about a variety of other free movie offerings in New York City:
Riverflicks at the Hudson River Park
Pier 46 has long offered gentle river breezes and a fabulous view of the New Jersey skyline. Each Friday at 8:30 pm, it is also the spot for Friday night family films and free popcorn. This year's Riverflicks for Kids features Charlotte's Web, Open Season, Back to the Future, Babe, The Wizard of Oz, Happy Feet and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. There is also a series on Wednesday nights that offers movies more suited to grown-ups. Either way, we recommend you bring something to sit on.
Movies with a View
Brooklyn Bridge Park's summer movie series features a host of benefits beyond the films themselves: Brooklyn Radio sets the scene each Thursday night with pre-movie mood music from some of New York City's best DJ's; RICE provides delicious dinners on site; the movie offerings include short films from independent filmmakers; and Transportation Alternatives provides free bike valet parking. All this, plus spectacular views of the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges and the downtown skyline. The pre-film fun starts around 6 pm; movies screenings begin around 8:30 pm.
HBO Summer Film Festival
Bryant Park's Monday-night movie tradition continues this year with films like Casablanca and Psycho. The park opens at 5 pm so you can stake out a prime spot for your blanket and picnic basket; the movies begin when dusk falls (generally between 8 pm and 9 pm).
