‘Crazy Rich Asians,’ ‘Jurassic Park’ among Brooklyn Bridge Park’s free summer movies

By Brooklyn Magazine Staff

There’s no perhaps better view of the city than at Brooklyn Bridge Park. And now you can enjoy it augmented with a movie screen with the return of “Movies with a View.”

Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy has announced the lineup of its free series that runs on Thursday evenings in July and August. The theme is “Away We Go,” with eight movies mostly set in exotic and eye-appealing locales.

A Smorgasburg-curated food court, along with music, begins at 5 p.m. nearby Pier 1 Harbor View Lawn with the screenings starting around 8:30 p.m. at sunset. Organizers recommend getting there at 6 p.m. when the lawn opens to get the best spot. Unfortunately, alcohol from the outside world is prohibited and there’s a bag check to “ensure the safety and security of moviegoers.”

Here is the schedule for this summer’s series, with a the final movie up for a public vote:

● July 7: “Before Sunrise” (R, 105 minutes)
● July 14: “The Bourne Identity” (PG-13, 119 minutes)
● July 21: “Crazy Rich Asians” (PG-13, 121 minutes)
● July 28: “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” (R, 124 minutes)
