One of my favorite summer family memories was seeing E.T. on the Intrepid.<\/a> The lines were (super) long, but it was worth the wait for such a memorable way to introduce my kids to one of my favorite movies as a child. Below are my top 9 picks for free outdoors movie series that the entire family can enjoy in NYC this summer:<\/p>\n

1. Coney Island Flicks on the Beach (Brooklyn)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Movies are shown at dusk on Monday nights in July and August at this beachside film series in Coney Island. There is a 40-foot inflatable screen at West 10th Street. \u00a0Star Wars: The Force Awakens\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Inside Out <\/em>are a couple\u00a0of the movies on the remaining line-up.<\/p>\n

2. Hudson RiverFlicks, Family Fridays (Manhattan)<\/strong><\/p>\n

You can take the family to enjoy kid-friendly flicks at dusk (8:30pm) on Fridays from July 10th to August 21st at Pier 46. The movies are a combination of new and classic films. Penguins of Madagascar<\/em> and Goosebumps<\/em>\u00a0will be shown as part of this season. Free popcorn is also served.<\/p>\n

3.Intrepid FREE Summer Movie Series (Manhattan)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bring your chairs or blankets and a meal for a fun, family dinner. Access starts at 7:00pm and the Friday night films begin at sunset. Plan on arriving early though, because seating is on a first come, first serve basis\u2026and this is a VERY popular film series. Star Trek <\/em>and Big Hero 6 <\/em>are a couple of the movies that are still on the schedule through August 5th.<\/p>\n

4. Movie Night in Astoria Park (Queens)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Monday nights on July 25th and in August, family-friendly films will be shown in Astoria Park (on Shore Blvd. between Hell Gate Bridge and the Pool) at 8:30pm. Big Hero 6<\/em> and Minions<\/em>\u00a0are part of the line-up for this year.<\/p>\n

5. Movies Under the Stars<\/a>\u00a0(All Boroughs)<\/strong><\/p>\n

There will be 300 films shown throughout various parks and neighborhoods in all five boroughs through the The Mayor\u2019s Office of Media and Entertainment. A combination of classic films (Casablanca, Moonstruck<\/i>, etc.) and new movies (Star Wars \u2013 The Force Awakens, Inside Out,<\/i>\u00a0etc.) will be shown.\u00a0Visit their site for the updated schedule of screenings and locations.<\/p>\n

6. Red Hook Flicks<\/a> (Brooklyn)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take the family to see these movie screenings at Valentino Pier in Red Hook, Brooklyn on Tuesdays in July and August around 8:30pm (or when it gets dark). Raiders of the Lost Ark<\/em> and The Lego Movie<\/em>\u00a0are a part of\u00a0the schedule.<\/p>\n

7. RCN Monday Night Movies at Waterside Plaza <\/a>(Manhattan)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enjoy watching free movies and nibbling on free popcorn outside on the Plaza at dusk (8pm to 8:30pm) on Mondays in August. Seating is limited so arrive early. August 15th is Family Movie Night so be sure to set aside that date.<\/p>\n

8. Roosevelt Island Outdoor Summer Movie Series (Queens)<\/strong><\/p>\n

On various Saturdays through August 19th, several kid-friendly movies will be played at Roosevelt Island\u2019s Firefighters Field\u00a0beginning at 7pm. Star Wars: The Force Awakens<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark<\/em>\u00a0are on the schedule.<\/p>\n

9. Summerstarz 2016\u00a0(Brooklyn)<\/strong><\/p>\n
