1984's Ghostbusters, set in New York City, is among the free films screened in NYC this week
The bevy of free outdoor movies continues with a wide range of choices of movies and locations to view them that include tonight (July 16) at
Pier 63 at
Hudson River Park (near 23rd Street) where the award winning 2013 film
American Hustle will screen for free. This is a great location and does not get as packed

as some of the other spots like Bryant Park but note that the front half of the lawn, which is damp most of the time so bring a plastic sheet, is on a backward slant from the screen so try to avoid sitting there or you will keep falling backwards.
More info. Meanwhile at the aforementioned Bryant Park's (42nd Street at Sixth Ave.) weekly
HBO sponsored screening this Monday (July 21s) will be
National Lampoon's Vacation.
More info. Over in Brooklyn at
McCarren Park tonight (July 16)
SummerScreen presents
Ben Stiller's silly but fun
Zoolander. What makes this free outdoor movie series extra special is that they also have a live concert beforehand. This evening that will be the must-see double bill of two hot new NYC hip-hop acts
Ratking and
Princess Nokia. 6 pm start time with film screening at sundown (8:30pm approx). McCarren Park is at N. 12th St. at Bedford Avenue, Williamsburg.
More info. Then on Friday evening at
Pier 46 (again on Hudson River Park) "Ghostbusters (trailer above) will screen at part of the summer movie series'
