It’s not quite summer movie season yet, but the Central Park Conservancy just gave us a sneak peek at the lineup of films for its annual outdoor movie fest:
The Central Park Conservancy Film Festival will take place from August 21-25, with films being shown in the landscape north of Sheep Meadow, beside the cafe (mid-Park at 69th Street). Enter the Park at 72nd Street. The festival is free of charge.
Movies to be screened this year include:
Aug. 21: Do the Right Thing (1989)
Aug. 22: Pee-wee’s Big Adventure (1985)
Aug. 23: The Big Lebowski (1998)
