Movies under Brooklyn Bridge

dawnc

Has anyone attended any of these free outdoor movie nights? Its advertised as 6pm-11pm but the movie is only about one and a half hours! I'm wondering what time to show up for the beginning of the actual movie.

I went to the movies under the bridge last year. There is usually a short film and maybe a local performer before the movie actually starts. I would arrive around 7:30pm to make sure you can still get a seat. I took a blanket and sat close to the river walk and still had a great view. This location is my favorite Free Summer Movie venue. Have fun!

I saw "The Shining" under the Bklyn Bdge last year. It was awesome. Such a beautiful park there. It was completely packed, maybe because of the popularity of the movie though- I don't know if the movie nights are always so crowded.

The movie doesn't start until sundown. I don't know what they do from 6-8:30ish, short movies? music? But it it really beautiful to see a movie down there.
