Screen On The Green: Washington Mall

The 7th Annual Screen On The Green begins on the National Mall on July 17 with the 1951 sci-fi classic "The Day the Earth Stood Still." The outdoor film series is produced by HBO, which procures the permit for the event from the National Park Service. HBO sponsors similar events in New York's Bryant Park, Atlanta and Boston. Other movies: July 24: "The Band Wagon," July 31: "Bullitt," Aug 7: "To Have and Have Not," and Aug 14: "Rocky."

So bring your blanket or folding chair and enjoy the walk-in movie on the Mall.
