Film Outdoor Movie Craziness.

scaled.outdoormovie.jpgI’m a big fan of Flicks on the Bricks, where they show free movies outdoors at Pioneer Courthouse Square. Between ticket prices, a ridiculous amount of ads, and jackasses with cell phones, going to see movies in theaters kind of sucks these days—but going out to the Square and sitting outside and watching stuff on a big screen is a blast. (Tonight, however, is Grease, which should be witnessed by no one.)

Taking their cue from Flicks on the Bricks, Portland Parks & Recreation is now offering Big Screen on the Green, in which they’ll be showing movies at dusk at various Portland parks. Tonight it kicks off at Sellwood Park with Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Complete schedule below.
