Summer movies in Hyde Park
If you are on campus this summer, you have some great local options for watching movies. The Harper Theater at 52d & Harper is showing Fruitvale Station, Turbo, The Conjuring…and The Wolverine! (Hugh Jackman never disappoints).
If you haven’t seen a movie at Harper Theater yet, check it out! Here’s a review of Harper Theater from a law library staff member: “I saw Pacific Rim (giant robots versus giant monsters) at the Harper Theater over the weekend and it was pretty fun…Harper Theater shows current movies at lower prices ($8, $6 matinee) than downtown, and has comfortable new seats. The theater [is small], but that’s kind of nice in some ways. We often end up chatting with a lot of the people around us before the movie because everyone can hear everyone else’s conversations.”
Do you want to watch a movie outdoors? There’s the Uncommon Nights – Movie on the Quad showing of Oblivion on July 30, 8:30 p.m., Bartlett Quad. With free popcorn!
Midweek at The Movies/Night Out: Family Movie Night at Midway Plaisance 2013 sponsored by the University of Chicago/Chicago Park District features the following movies: Oz the Great and Powerful (Aug. 7), Men in Black 3 (Aug. 14), The Avengers (Aug. 21).
Finally, you can always check out previous summer blockbusters, prequels, action flicks, and film noir classics in our D’Angelo Law Library DVD Collection. If you can’t decide where to start, see TV Guide’s list of “The Best Summer Movies Ever“. And, if you see a good movie this summer, let us know! When it’s available on DVD, we’ll add it to our collection.
