Summer may be a few months away but it's never too soon to start penciling in all the free events you plan on taking advantage of this season. To that end, the Brooklyn Bridge Park Conservancy just announced the lineup for their annual free film series Syfy Movies With A View this morning, which kicks off July 11 with Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The 14th season, which is one again sponsored by the Syfy channel, will run the free films every Thursday at Pier 1 starting at dusk, with DJs spinning beforehand beginning at 6 p.m.
This year's theme is "With Love From..." other cities of the world that aren't New York. (Heh, what do THEY know about love?) Here's the full schedule, which includes—as is tradition—a fan vote for the final film:
July 11
Ferris Bueller's Day Off
July 18
Enter the Dragon
July 25
Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
August 1
8 Mile
August 8
Roman Holiday
August 15
Rocky
August 22
Vertigo
August 29
PUBLIC VOTE! (Voting begins August 22nd)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Good Will Hunting, or Lost in Translation
Time snag that Etsy picnic basket and brush up on your outdoor imbibing rules.
Disclosure: Gothamist is a media partner with this year's Syfy Movies With A View.
