Ah, summertime in Boulder! We’re a few weeks late to the party this year, but it’s time once again for Boulder Outdoor Cinema!

Every Saturday night from now until August 31, grab your friends and family and head down to the movies. Movies are shown outdoors in the lot behind the Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art (1750 13th Street). Gates open at 7PM and there’s a rockin’ band on stage every evening by 7:30PM. So when’s the movie? Well, movies start “at dusk” (read: when it’s dark enough to show the movie).

Boulder Outdoor Cinema is an event fueled 100% by donations. There’s a suggested $5 donation at the door and they thank you (with GUSTO) for your donations to help pay for licensing fees, venue, and equipment upkeep and the like.

Wanna see what’s showing this year? Here’s the scoop:

July 20–Rocky Horror Picture Show

July 27–Moonrise Kingdom

August 3–Princess Bride

August 10–Wayne’s World

August 17–Tombstone

August 24–Monty Python and The Holy Grail

August 31–Big Lebowski

Let’s just say that I’m sad I have plans on Saturday in Denver and I’m stoked about being completely available on August 24 and 31.

Here are some tips to keep your Boulder Outdoor Cinema experience most bueno for you and your fellow moviegoers:

• Seating: People bring blankets or low beach chairs. Don’t bring your camp chairs as people sitting behind you won’t be able to see. Don’t be “that guy.”
• Snacks: You’re welcome to bring snack. In fact, many folks make this a picnic-like event. They also have standard movie fare like popcorn and soft drinks for sale on-site.
