One of my favorite parts about being in New York over the summer is the free outdoor movies. You have a little picnic, enjoy the weather, and see a classic film you somehow missed, all for free. So if you're going to be in New York this summer, you may want to bookmark this page, as I've compiled all (ok, most) of the different schedules for summer 2009. Which ones are making your summer to-do list?BRYANT PARK

Obviously, I agree w/ the alluring prospect of watching The Muppet Movie and Ghostbusters, two movies that I obviously proudly own, in the great outdoors.
A hearty thumbs up to basically everything on the River To River and Brooklyn Bridge Park Lists (props to J.J. Hunsecker/Burt Lancaster for appearing on both!)
And speaking of movies w/ trannies (by which I mean Tony Curtis), DOG DAY AFTERNOON has my attention for obvious reasons.
Thanks for the epic list compilation.
