Summertime is near, which means a lot of great free music and free movies here in New York City. The people over at nycgo.com have compiled a list of movies screening in New York during the summer, and I figured it’d be good to share it here.
Some of the films being screened over the summer include Looper, Enter the Dragon, Argo, Jaws, The Avengers, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Hunger Games, lots of Streisand, Pitch Perfect, Duck Soup, Bending Steel, Top Gun, and ParaNorman. Many screenings will take place outdoors, though it will vary from screening to screening.
After the cut, the New York summer screenings from May through August. Note that a few screening series (notably the HBO screenings in Bryant Park) have yet to announce their lineups.
