The popular HBO-partnered outdoor festival plays old school classics every Monday. Never seen Audrey Hepburn’s “Sabrina”? What better way to watch it then across from the gorgeous New York Public Library<\/a>? Screenings begin June 19, with the lawn opening at 5pm for seating.<\/p>\n

Celebrate the festival’s 25th<\/sup> anniversary by rewatching 1992 favorites, “Sister Act” and “Aladdin”. These two films debuted during Randall’s\u00a0inaugural year are being reunited on the big screen at this summer’s weekly fest. If you’re craving a recent film, mark your calendars for “Zootopia” on June 25.<\/p>\n

There is nothing better than watching a movie underneath the stunning Brooklyn Bridge. Get there early for a pre-show party with DJs, food, and a full beer garden. Screen picks range from Oscar classics like “Casablanca” to modern action films like “Mad Max: Fury Road.” Films begin at sunset.<\/p>\n
