Movies On the Block Returns

The new season of free summer cinema spans action, comedy and aliens

Posted

One of our favorite things about summer in the city is Movies on the Block – because the only thing better than a free movie or an outdoor movie is a free, outdoor movie. There aren’t many better ways to spend a Thursday night than strolling down to Grant’s Block, maybe grabbing some food or a drink from Tazza, and taking in a classic film among our neighbors. It seems like each year’s line-up has gotten a little edgier and more packed with fan favorites and former blockbusters. This year is no exception, mixing in splashy action franchises (The Matrix, Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol), cult comedies (The Jerk, Office Space), prestige pictures (Good Will Hunting, Cinema Paradiso), a healthy dose of Martin Scorsese (Goodfellas, The Departed) and pure, hardboiled bad-assery (Inglorious Basterds, Death Wish). Check out the full schedule below and be sure to pack the popcorn. Every Thursday at dusk. Corner of Westminster and Union Streets.
