[title]A blockbuster summer activity is seeing a movie under the stars. Sure, you can catch the biggest releases in air-conditioned comfort at one of Boston’s top cinemas, but outdoor movie screenings are really one of the best ways to enjoy a summer night in Boston. With themed screenings hosted by local movie theaters, museums, parks and more, there are plenty of fun flicks to catch this year. Starting with August dates at outdoor sites across the metro area, we’ll keep you posted on opportunities to watch movies outside in Boston.
