Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy’s beloved outdoor film series, “Movies With A View,” returns this Thursday, bringing back an almost 25-year-old summer tradition that has entertained more than half-a-million movie-goers since its inception in 2000.
For eight straight Thursday nights through Aug. 29, Pier 1 Harbor View Lawn will open to the public, with flicks beginning at sunset.
Plan accordingly, as seating is available on a first-come, first-served basis. This year’s sponsor, free streaming service Pluto TV, will also be giving away some goodies before the start of each movie.
This year’s lineup includes:
- July 11: “Past Lives” (PG-13, 2023, 106 minutes)
- July 18: “Pulp Fiction” (R, 1994, 154 minutes)
- July 25: “Mean Girls” (PG-13, 2004, 97 minutes)
- Aug. 1: “Creed” (PG-13, 2015, 133 minutes)
- Aug. 8: “But I’m A Cheerleader” (R, 1999, 85 minutes)
- Aug. 15: “Bram Stroker’s Dracula” (R, 1992, 128 minutes)
- Aug. 22: “The American President”(PG-13, 1995, 114 minutes)
And for the grand finale on Aug. 29, the public is invited to vote for their favorite movie from three titles: “Spy Kids” (PG, 2001, 88 minutes), “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem” (PG, 2023, 99 minutes), or “School of Rock” (PG-13, 2003, 108 minutes). Voting will open in early August online at brooklynbridgepark.org, and the winning title announced at the Aug. 22 showing.
But that’s not all! Entertainment aside, rotating concessions curated from a variety of independent food trucks and vendors will be available on-site for those in attendance to enjoy. While outside alcohol is not allowed at the park, adult beverages will be available for sale at Bar by Fornino.
