The free Central Park Conservancy Film Festival screens classics just north of the Sheep Meadow (enter the park at West 72nd Street), and has a new venue this year: Marcus Garvey Park. Bring a blanket and a picnic basket and come early to snag a good spot (gates open at 6:30pm; movies start at 8pm). About an hour before each movie screens, there will be a live DJ performance. Visit centralparknyc.org for more information.
