The Starks had it all too right: winter came. It came all over the District of Columbia. For many months. But now, let us look back on those cold days and rejoice! Spring has officially arrived, and with it includes all the sunshine, ball games, drinking on rooftops and outdoor movies we’ve come to expect.

We’ve got your definitive outdoor movie guide to help navigate your way through all the summer screenings. So please, get your refreshments, take your seats and silence your phones and your screaming children.
