Here’s the lineup for the free movie nights at Bryant Park this summer

Those seventy degree evenings we’ve been desperately craving for months are finally here, and Bryant Park is adding to our joy by bringing back its Paramount+ movie nights starting next month.

The screenings are going to take place every Monday at 8pm from June 10 through August 12. 

RECOMMENDED: A massive electronic music festival is taking over Central Park’s Wollman Rink this fall

This year, the movie nights are starting off strong with a screening of crowd favorite Forrest Gump, which is also celebrating its 30th anniversary.

Be warned, though: the screenings are very popular and Bryant Park recommends getting there at 6pm in order to snag a good spot, but we suggest getting there even earlier, perhaps by 5pm, when the lawn opens for picnicking. 

As usual, the park will also play host to a number of food and drink purveyors, all options curated by Hester Street Fair, the pop up market that features a rotating lineup of artisanal vendors from all across the city. 

Here is the full movie lineup for the summer:

  • June 10: Forrest Gump (1994)
  • June 17: The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
  • June 24: Boomerang (1992)
  • July 1: The Gladiator (2000)
  • July 8: Old School (2003)
  • July 15: Funny Face (1957)
  • July 22: Cinema Paradiso (1988)
  • July 29: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days (2003)
  • August 5: Arrival (2016)
  • August 12: Titanic (1997)
