The absolute best thing about LA is going to see movies outside all the way through the fall: sure, other cities have outdoor screenings, but they don't have outdoor screenings in a cemetery or in a pool or through November. To help you plan properly, here's our calendar of every single outdoor screening in the city, organized by date and movie to make it that much easier on you. You're welcome.
