You have to get there pretty early if you want a good seat. And if you don’t get a good seat all you hear are the subways going over the manhattan bridge.
“What else is good?”
The Maltese Falcon
oddly enough rob, i didn’t get crabs.
Brownstones Half Off, I think they officially start the movie when it starts getting dark. So probably 9ish in July/August.
Does anyone know how crowded this gets, how early you need to show up? Years ago I used to go to the Bryant Park movies, but then it got to the point where you’d have to start camping out at lunchtime to get a spot on the lawn. Hoping this one might be a little more laid-back…
If it wasn’t for baby duty I’d so go to see Arizona, Butch and Catch. What else is good? What time do they start, primetime 8?
***Bid half off peak comps***
OK, I’ll qualify.
Much respect to Maltese Falcoln, Paper Moon and BC and SK.
Its the more, um…current films that are just so bad…its like they thought very carefully about showing classics and then when they came to anything made in the last 20 years they gave it to someone stuck in the 90s. I also agree that there is an outdoor films repertoire that you tend to see everywhere. I think I’ve seen Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in at -least- 4 outdoor film fests.
Edward Scissorhands?
The Maltese Falcon is easily one of the greatest American films of all time.
All the movies have a Brooklyn connection. But I’m a tad stumped as to what it is for most (OK all) of these.
quote:
the ones at McCarren Pool the past summer were really good. Nothing like watching 28 Days Later on a blanket with a 40 and Fette Sau BBQ
until 3 days later when your start itching and you realize that’s where you got the crabs.
