Go Outside And See A Movie! By Meagan Flannery

Spring is here, summer is around the corner, and everyone is out enjoying the beautiful weather. Want to enjoy the good weather and still watch awesome movies?

While the drive-ins are pretty much dead in today’s world, many places still offer outdoor cinema showings. For instance, Denver has so many opportunities to watch movies outside. Not only can you enjoy the weather, but you can also enjoy the amazing scene of the city. The Denver Botanical Gardens screens films outdoors, and many of the parks will host various nighttime screenings. You can start planning all your movie outings by visiting this site

However, the most amazing outside location to view films would have to be Red Rocks and their Film on the Rocks summer programming

For those of you who prefer to stay indoors and closer to Boulder, there is the International Film Series. I cannot describe how amazing their line-up is every season (fall and spring). In fact, they are showing academy nominated 127 Hours this Wednesday and Thursday (March 30, 31), so if you happened to miss it, or didn’t want to pay those insane ticket prices at AMC, stop by campus and pay $6 ($5 with student I.D.). Here is their schedule.

I am personally looking forward to seeing Brazil.

I know I have done a blog before about seeing films at alternative venues, but I want to urge you to get into your communities! I promise, it is a completely different experience watching them outside, or with other film lovers. Not to mention, you are paying for the experience, not just the movie. More for your buck.
