Outdoor Cinemas Around the World To Visit This Year
For a lot of us, there is something deeply sentimental, and maybe even terribly romantic about watching a movie outdoors. Where does this come from? Maybe from a recollection of a family movie night in the backyard, snuggled warmly under blankets covered in popcorn – or from the gone-by memory of a drive-in necking session with a former sweetheart. Whatever the reason, we think an outdoor movie is just a pretty darn novel idea. It's like going to the movies and camping at the same time – and at the end of the night, your shoes won't get stuck to floors sticky with spilled soda and candy, and nobody has to sleep on the ground. It really is the best of both worlds. We have found 30 places from all over the world that have taken this notion to heart and put some unique spins on the open air cinema experience. They have really tickled our nostalgia bones, so be prepared for some warm and fuzzies. Written by Jay Cassel
