NATIONAL MOVIE NIGHT
National Movie Night, on the second Friday in June, encourages us to start (or restart) a tradition of movie nights with friends and family. Pop some popcorn, grab a blanket and your favorite buddy, put away the cell phones and tablets, and then queue up a string of movies for a fun night of entertainment.
Movies have been bringing people together for over 100 years. The movie stars and the stories entertain us, connecting us while we create memories. As technology evolves, so does how we enjoy our movie nights. From the theater to reel-to-reel home movies, the VCR, DVD, and streaming, we've been enjoying movies on big and small screens. Drive-in movies invited us to enjoy films from the comfort of our cars. Today, our video library is as large as we want it to be thanks to streaming services. We can even enjoy movies in our own backyards projected onto screens under the stars.
