Movies on the Mall

by Jon on July 6th, 2007

Enjoy classic films projected on huge screens just like they were in the days before the multi-screen cineplex. The annual Screen on the Green on the National Mall lets you bring a blanket and enjoy a picnic and a big-screen classic such as Casablanca, Annie Hall and The Thing (From Another World).

Lawn space fills early for these popular screenings, so arrive early for the choice spots. People often arrive as early as 5:00 p.m. to stake their territory.

No alcohol or tall chairs are allowed.
