Who's ready for a relatively cheap night out?

Movies in the Canyon, Movies on the Lawn, Movies in the Park; it seems like the only place we’re not watching movies this summer is in an actual theater. And while I’m sure most of us prefer the air-conditioned comfort of one, there’s a certain je ne sais quoi about gathering under the stars in the glow of an inflatable movie screen surrounded by friends and strangers alike on blankets and folding chairs.

Fortunately for free outdoor movie-loving El Pasoans, we have plenty of options and opportunities. So grab the kids, a blanket, and a few lawn chairs and take one in this weekend -- weather-permitting, of course.
