Central Park is once again holding its summer film festival on the lawn between Sheep Meadow and 72nd street cross drive starting on Thursday, and this year viewers got to choose all of the films. So, if you don’t like the movies, only you and your neighbors are to blame! The movies all start at 8 p.m., but the lawn opens at 6:30 and a DJ will be playing from 6:30 to 8.
And the winners are…
