One of my favorite free summer events is a go. You may remember that in our May 2008 issue, our cover story was all about FREE STUFF. We had to cut one item before going to press because organizers at the time said the event wasn’t yet official. But now it is — Victory Park’s Get Reel Summer Movie Series is officially back. Every Tuesday all summer at 7:30 p.m., Victory will play “blockbuster classics” on those big Times Square-esque screens. This season’s lineup includes (to name a select few) Top Gun (6/3), Footloose (6/10), Jaws (7/1).
Last year the regular event got pretty popular with people scattered throughout the plaza or sitting on nearby restaurant patios. I even remember a couple nights (Star Wars, Wizard of Oz) when true movie buffs (or crazy people) came costumed (though I warn you, a Storm Trooper outfit gets pretty uncomfortable outside in August — I assume). See the whole schedule here. Plus check out these special Wednesday night screenings by the Dallas Opera.
