Stroll into a park or onto a beach an evening this summer and chances are you'll find an event worth sticking around for. Long Island neighborhoods are hosting outdoor movies, some of the drive-in variety, where you can set up on a picnic blanket or a beach chair to catch a flick. Come with a plan for how you'll handle snacks and drinks (some screenings include a la carte services from food vendors). All movies listed are free and open to Nassau and Suffolk residents unless otherwise noted.  Weather may alter the schedule.
