Art by Jessica Ragsdale

With autumn just around the corner, classes in full swing, and the return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte, it is easy to feel as if summer is long gone. In an effort to keep the summer mood around a bit longer, we have put together a list of venues with outdoor movie showings in Los Angeles.

From classics like “The Goonies” and “The Breakfast Club,” to more recent gems such as “Moonrise Kingdom,” and organizations such as Street Food Cinema and the Rooftop Cinema Club, it is now possible for people to enjoy their favorite films under the stars until the end of October, with select locations even providing live music and food trucks before the movie. So bring a blanket, grab your friends, and experience these films in a whole new way!
