We love the way that outdoor movie screenings have proliferated in the past five years; here, in summer 2012, you'll a.) never have to be relegated to a dark theater to see something on a big screen, and b.) can gather your friends round for hits of nostalgia (Dirty Dancing! Princess Bride!) without cramming them into your studio apartment. In other words, the future is now, and it's awesome. To ensure that you don't miss any of the hot (and free!) outdoor filmgoing action this summer, we've put together a master calendar. We'll see you in the park (or on the pier):
