Why it's GREASE LIGHTNING!!!
This Saturday the Presidio will be hosting a FREE outdoor screening of the 1978 musical GREASE. This is the sing-a-long version, which means they will have the words up on the screen during songs...sweet!
The movie starts at 7pm, but get there early to not only score a great spot, but also to enjoy a performance at 5:30 of Pi Clowns, a physical comedy troupe.
Location: On the lawn at the Main Post Theater - 99 Moraga Ave, near the Officer's Club.
Tonight at 8pm THE DARK KNIGHT will be shown on the outdoor big screen in Dolores Park.
It's rare that we in SF get to enjoy an outdoor evening event without freezing our tails off. Tonight's weather should be different - enjoy the show!
The Independent (628 Divis @ Hayes) is a music venue (amazing sound system) that also has Cinema nights. While they say the movie is FREE, there is a 2 drink minimum, so.... still likely cheaper than a regular cost of movie, popcorn, soda!
This Monday at 8pm (doors open at 7:30), they are showing the Academy Award Winning Slumdog Millionaire.
Set and filmed in India, Slumdog Millionaire tells the story of a young man from the slums of Mumbai who appears on the Indian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? and exceeds people’s expectations, thereby arousing the suspicions of the game show host and of law enforcement officials.
I received a tip from a follower of this blog about another $5 movie night. Monday nights at the Roxie Cinema. All Monday movies are $5.
The Roxie is right on 16th between Valencia & Guerrero, so you can actually have a cheap date night with a $5 movie and the number of cheap eats in the area (taquerias, pakwan, arinell, sunflower, etc)

Sorry about the lack of posts..... Spring break for the kids, folks in town..... Anyway, back to the savings:
Every Tuesday, all seats at the Castro Theater are $5 and they will be showing Classic Movies. The Castro Theater is the most beautiful movie theater I've ever been too, and the Wurlitzer performance before the shows begin give it that extra special touch. This Tuesday, April , they are showing the 1940’s film “My Little Chickadee” staring Mae West and W.C. Fields. preceded by the short film The Dentist (1932) in a restored 35mm print. I actually recall watching The Dentist with my grandfather when i was really young and even then finding it very funny.
The following Tuesday, April 21, features The Animation Madness of Max Fleischer. This collection from the animation pioneer collects his most popular creations in one program. Headlining is the 70th Anniversary of Gulliver's Travels (1939, Original 3-Strip Technicolor Print), preceded by the shorts Betty Boop in Blunderland (1933), Superman's Mechanical Monsters (1941), and Popeye Meets Ali Baba and His Forty Thieves (1937)
