Outdoor Movie Events

There were always a lot of activities, dances and concerts to see on campus, but one of the best ones I went to was an outdoor movie. Students were sprawled out all over the grass watching The Sand Lot play on a giant screen. The screen was so big that it was easy for me to see the picture even though I was at the back of the crowd.

Sometimes, after a long day at work or way too much studying for school, the most appealing way to spend an evening is to kick back and relax with a movie. Outdoor movies are especially fun because there is a lot of fresh air, you can curl up in some blankets and the stars are a beautiful backdrop. Outdoor movie screens are usually pretty large too, so it’s easier to share a film with even more friends than normal.

Along with the movie on campus, I’ve also been to several backyard outdoor movies and they are always a lot of fun. For some reason, watching a movie with other people is a lot more fun than watching them alone. Even though you don’t really talk a lot during a movie, it does make a difference to be surrounded by friends.

It might be kind of fun to own your own outdoor movie system, but I don’t think I would really like setting it up and finding a place to store it. The inflatable screens might not be too hard to work with, but I still think I would probably find a company that would bring all the equipment, set it up, run the movie, take it down and cart it off afterwards. That way I wouldn’t have to worry about technical difficulties or have to deal with a mess after everyone goes home.

There are a lot of different ways to make an outdoor movie fun. One is to set the screen up by a pool pr a hot tub. Then you can enjoy the water as well as the film. Concession outside are just as welcome as they are in the theater and they’ll probably cost less too.

If you ever get a chance to see an outdoor movie, I would highly recommend it. Or, if you’re thinking about hosting one, I promise your guests will have a god time.
