The FREE Seattle Center Outdoor Cinema series will present a great mix of films suitable for all ages, including the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy, Tim Burton's fabulous fable Big Fish, the heroic Master and Commander and classics such as Raiders of the Lost Ark and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory.

Seattle Center's Outdoor Cinema will take place on the gently sloped lawn of the Mural Amphitheatre, with the Space Needle standing sentry in the starry skies above you! Moviegoers will find a state-of-the-art giant (45' x 28') inflatable screen on the Mural stage, Chinese lanterns in the trees, plus delicious movie snacks and treats available for purchase. 

Experience a favorite movie in a whole new way! Picnic on the gently sloping Mural Amphitheatre lawn, enjoy a beautiful summer sunset and settle down on your blanket with friends, family and neighbors for an outdoor cinema experience like no other. 

All films are rated PG-13 with the exception of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, which is rated G. Cartoons, both classic and contemporary will be shown prior to all films except the Lord Of The Rings trilogy, given their length. Movies begin at dusk.
