Each Monday since June, the free films have been shown at the the Bell Street quad site, an open space surrounded by high-rise office buildings, but this was the 1st Monday we had been able to attend. Residents with blankets and beach chairs, and many with snacks or even full home-prepared or store-bought dinners, converge on the quad before dusk to find a good viewing spot.
This is the 5th year for the festival, which each year features movies with a specific theme. This year's theme was By the Numbers. For the record, here is what we missed:
- The Sixth Sense
- District 9
- Oceans 11
- Apollo 11
- 16 Candles
- The 40-Year-Old Virgin
- 50 First Dates
- (500) Days of Summer
Travelers' Tip:
Free outdoor film festivals like the one here at Crystal City are happening all over the country. They make a great, relaxing way to conclude a day of site seeing. Just remember to bring some popcorn.
