After a year and a half of watching movies at home, our intermission is over, and we are excited to have you join us again for movies under the stars in the heart of Manhattan.

From comedies like “Clueless” to family-friendly titles like “The Muppets Take Manhattan” to our Broadway series, our season has something for everyone. Whether you were waiting to claim a spot on the lawn at 5pm or you arrived just in time for the feature film, welcome!

Fans of Bryant Park Movie Nights will notice that this year’s schedule looks a bit different than in years past, as we are showing films on Monday and Tuesday evenings. There’s no better way to wrap the summer season than with back-to- back movie nights.

Now sit back, relax, and enjoy this evening’s movie!
