New York's most popular outdoor film festival returns to Bryant Park once again this year. Every Monday night at sunset, catch film classics, like The Sting, and oddball romances, like Harold & Maude, while enjoying an evening in the park. This week, bring a friend to see The Sting on the big screen.
The Butch and Sundance team is reunited for fun and scams. Robert Redford, Paul Newman and director George Roy Hill generate more high-voltage chemistry in this lighthearted, overtly nostalgic look back at 1930’s Chicago con men. A rousing commercial success, the movie hit big with critics too. It won seven Oscars, including Best Picture. Marvin Hamlisch supplied the memorable music, though the Scott Joplin-inspired ragtime somewhat pre-dated the movie’s time period. Mr. Newman, you’ll be greatly missed.
The lawn opens at 5:00pm for blankets and picnicking. The films begin at dusk (typically between 8pm and 9pm).
