Don’t miss this opportunity to see a classic movie under the stars with friends, family, and neighbors. The annual Crescent Hill Outdoor Cinema Series returns with the 1979 cycling-themed film “Breaking Away” at 8 p.m. Friday at the Peterson-Dumesnil House, 301 S. Peterson Ave. A favorite summer event in years past, this outdoor film is not to be missed.

Watching an outdoor movie in the evening has to be one of the great hallmarks of summer. It feels quaint and nostalgic; it feels like exactly what you should be doing on a warm summer night—sitting on blankets on a lush, grassy lawn with ice cream or a picnic dinner watching an old movie under the stars.

When Canyon Lake Riverside Resort owner Mark Smith was trying to woo his wife Kathy, trips to the drive-in movie theater were a must. They loved seeing movies under the stars back then, so much so that they’ve decided to breathe new life into the old pastime. The Smiths started hosting outdoor movies on Saturday nights at their 22-acre retreat back in March. An old-fashioned hayride takes patrons up a Tiki torch-lit road to a clearing above the resort’s campgrounds where a 12-foot projector and concession stand await.

Mit dem französischen Erfolgsfilm “Willkommen bei den Sch’tis” hat das Team des Kinos “Orfeo’s Erben” seine diesjährige Open-Air-Reihe gestartet. Ein dickes Fell – oder besser: eine warme Decke – mussten die Filmfreunde haben, die am Freitagabend mit dem Team von «Orfeo’s Erben» die Freiluft-Kino-Saison im Brentanobad eröffneten. Auch dicke Socken und kuschelige Schlafsäcke hatten viele dabei, um sich gegen die Kälte zur Wehr zu setzen.

One of the most popular movie-going options of the 50’s and 60’s was the drive-in theater, also known as “cinema al fresco”, where patrons parked their vehicles in front of a large outdoor movie screen to watch films in the privacy of their cars. Drive-ins rose to prominence after the end of World War II, reaching their peak in the 1950’s and 1960’s but declining in later years as a result of increased land values and competition from new media such as color television and the VCR. Few drive-in theaters still exist today, but just like vinyl records and vintage cars, the nostalgic appeal of movies under the stars is attractive to both old and young audiences.

ue to bad weather, the Movie Under the Stars will be rescheduled for Wednesday June 17th at 7:30 p.m. There will be no change to the location, movie, or live music! So make sure to save June 17th in your calendar for tons of free fun and outdoor movies at the Utah State Capitol South front lawn!

Last night’s power outage coverage pre-empted a few things we’re getting to now - among them, the final two movies chosen for West Seattle Outdoor Movies on the Wall this summer (official website here), six consecutive Saturday nights, July 18-August 22 at dust, in the courtyard between Hotwire Coffee (WSB sponsor) and Dr. Wolff.

Someone has parked a 40-foot inflatable movie screen in Greeley Park. And that someone is Chris Malloy. Malloy, of Nashua, who owns event production company Community Events, has taken over the Nashua Public Library’s Plaza Pics – or at least he’s staffing the free summer events and outdoor films, using his equipment and tapping area sponsors for support.
