Outdoor movies have taken Metro Vancouver by storm this summer, with sunny days outnumbering the wet ones, it’s a picturesque way to spend a warm evening. So far folks have already seen Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium at Killarney Community Centre and E.T. at David Lam Park in Yaletown as well as at Hastings Racecourse.

    E.T. in David Lam Park was awesome. People need to get the word out to the City of Vancouver and show support for these events. The grown ups at City Hall barely allowed it to happen this year because they thought the grass would get messed up.

    I so want to go to the Monsters in the Meadows…I’ll bring the popcorn!

    They have done this for a long time. I remember the days of old… still a really interesting way to watch a movie.

    Miss 604,
    just stumbled across your site for the first time in researching the gastown shows. i ran an outdoor event company called Summer Sundays between 2002-2004 and our main event of the year was always an outdoor movie screening down by spanish banks in mid-august (grease, ferris beuler’s, back to the future). its nice to see that othere have picked up where we left off. thanks for the great compilation of listings

    Outdoor movie series are a popular summer event. More and more cities and towns are bringing back the drive-in with outdoor movie events. I own and operate my own outdoor movie business in Connecticut and have seen how successful and fun these events are to the community. This is the best way to spend a nice summer night under the stars. Enjoy

    Any news for 2010?? I’ve compiled a small list with what I could find, but I’m sure there are more that I missed.
