I’ve always thought that it would be fun to get an outdoor movie screen and enjoy movies in our backyard. Lay out some blankets on the grass, make some delicious signature cocktails and pop popcorn while we watch a fun movie.

Below are some movies that would be perfect for watching outside this summer. I’ve included recent and old(er) movies, movies for kids and movies for adult only parties.

Here in Seattle, our summer daylight last long into the evening so we would need to start the movie pretty late in order to have dark skies. It would be a perfect party for Friday or Saturday night (just make sure that you don’t bother your neighbors with the speakers). Now to figure out how to make this party a reality!

There are lots more movies that would be perfect for watching under the stars, these are just a few that came to mind when I thought of what I’d like to watch outside. What movies would be on your list?
