Summer time! It’s the perfect time for outdoor movies because you live in the perfect place for them. Not only are we the home of Hollywood but we have the great weather (well usually) for watching a movie outside at night. We love watching movies outside for the special experience it provides and we get to enjoy with our family, our friends, or that special someone.
Los Angeles and Southern California always has some really cool experiences for us and in 2023 it’s no different. Check out our giant list of the best screenings to enjoy al fresco, this summer. You can choose classic films, horror, dramas, family friendly, comedies, sexy films and more!
Get into the vibe as these awesome outdoor spots not only show great movies but some of them have very comfy chairs, cocktails, fresh popcorn, snacks, food trucks and even live bands and games.
Just bring a cozy blanket, relax and enjoy the films. Typically the later night showings feature films for grown ups, so keep down the extra noise.
Below is our LA Hacker list of best summer screenings in LA for 2023. Enjoy the movies and enjoy them outdoors!
