Concrete Playground

If you’re heading to the movies without a picnic blanket this summer, you’re doing it wrong. Moonlight Cinema is back for its sixth season this year to prove that movies are better when you’re watching them outdoors, and best when you can bring your own food and booze without being super sneaky.

The season kicks off with a preview screening of Alexander Payne’s comedy-drama The Descendents, while the rest of the cinematic lineup includes Woody Allen’s romantic comedy Midnight in Paris, the 2011 remake of The Muppets and the Hollywood neo-noir drama that cemented Ryan Gosling’s rank as the tenth sexiest man alive — claim your patch of grass early for Drive. Even The Twilight Saga might be remotely diverting when you’re sitting under the stars, and then there are the requisite screenings of The Breakfast Club, Top Gun and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Also on offer will be NY-style street food, a fully licensed bar and gourmet picnic hampers you can book along with your tickets. Though the best way to do Moonlight is still with a bag of Cheezels and a bottle of wine.

Gates open at 7pm and screening starts at sundown.
