The seventh year of outdoor movies atop the Intrepid is a go. Given that the series is held on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier, and not in a wide open park, space is limited. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and the movie starts at sunset, but you can (and probably should) line up well before free tickets start getting doled out at 6:15 p.m. on a first-come, first-serve basis. To kick off Memorial Day on Friday, May 22, there's "Top Gun," followed by "October Sky" on July 9, "Moon" on July 16, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" on July 23, "Apollo 13" on July 30, and "Wall-E" on August 6. New to this years line-up is that each screening will be introduced by a special guest—for example, "Top Gun" flight double and former astronaut Scott Altman will speak before that film.

As one of the original summer film series, this one tends to be crowded. Read: you will see no grass once all of the blankets are laid mere minutes after the lawn opens at 5 p.m. The movies, which should be announced soon and begin at sunset, run every Monday night from June 22 to August 24. And remember: chairs, tables, dogs, plastic sheets, tarps, bags, and pads are not allowed. But blankets... blankets are OK.
