Save the date for the 2014 Central Park Film Festival, August 18-22 for an interesting FREE movie screening each night for five nights, each one that includes New York City in a central role.
The films are shown at the northern edge of the Sheep Meadow, in the middle of the park at 69th Street. Screenings are 8 p.m., rain or shine. Gates open at 6:30 p.m., so bring a picnic — but no alcoholic beverages or glass is permitted. There’s a DJ and music to keep the crowd happy until the screening starts.
The theme of this year’s Central Park Conservancy Film Festival is “Scenes of the City”, and all are PG rated. Here’s the schedule —
Monday, Aug. 18: Big, starring a young Tom Hanks
Tuesday, Aug. 19: The Royal Tenenbaums, starring Gene Hackman in the story of a thoroughly dysfunctional but lovable family
Wednesday, Aug. 20: The Way We Were, the memorable love story between Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford
Thursday, Aug. 21: Ghostbusters, the ones you call when para-normal activity slimes your life
Friday, Aug. 22: Rear Window, the Hitchcock thriller starring James Stewart and Grace Kelly
