Films Alfresco

Wednesday August 9, 2006
On The TownBryant Park isn't the only game in town for cinema under the stars these days. Tonight, you can choose from four different cinematic experiences in the great outdoors of New York City area parks.

  • Classic film buffs will love seeing Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra sing and dance their way through 1940s New York in On The Town at Riverside Park's Movies Under The Stars. The show starts at 8:30PM at Pier 1 (West 70th St. at the Hudson River).

  • Bond fanatics will prefer the RiverFlicks showing of Goldfinger, starring Sean Connery in his prime and the ultimate Bond girl, Ms. Pussy Galore. The movie begins at 8:30PM in Hudson River Park (Pier 54, 14th St. and 11th Ave.).

  • Cinema aficionados with more exotic tastes might prefer a trip to Queens to view the Italian neorealist film Stolen Children in the Socrates Sculpture Park in Long Island City. The film starts at 7PM in the Socrates Sculpture Park at Broadway and Vernon Boulevard (take the N, W to the Broadway stop).

  • Take the kids to Hoboken to see the animated blockbuster Curious George, starring everybody's favorite monkey and the voice of Will Ferrell. The movie begins at 7PM in Pier A Park at Frank Sinatra Drive and 1st St. in Hoboken (you can take either NJ Transit or the PATH to Hoboken).
