Outdoor Films
From quarries to parks to swimming pools*, there's no shortage of places to watch a movie outside this summer. Many locations have family-friendly showings.Screen on the Green
Spread out your blanket on Great Lawn in Centennial Park and see a great film. On Thursday, June 18, introduce your kids to Home Alone, and on Thursday, June 25, see a classic 80's movie decided by the viewers: either Ghostbusters, Big, or The Princess Bride.
Northside Hospital sponsors this festival, which comes to parks all over north Atlanta. There's lots of fun before the films: face-painting, carnival games, inflatables, and concessions. The films are free - bring low-backed lawn chairs or blankets to sit on. In most cases, they don't release the film titles ahead of time, but here is a list of locations. Click on the link above to find more information, including showtimes.

Free Summer Movies
When it's really hot outside this summer and you don't feel like schlepping to the pool AGAIN, take the kids to a free (or cheap) movie! Many movie theaters nationwide show second run movies for free in the summer on select days.

Good to know: These showings fill up fast, so get there early to avoid sitting in the front row. Also, don't expect a quiet theater: the theater will be filled with loud, laughing, crying, talking kids. The good news is that you can bring any age of children and they won't disturb anyone!
