Movies on the Beach

Skip the pricey multiplex for some retro fun under the stars at the Misquamicut Drive-in

Posted

The Misquamicut Drive-In, South County’s premier cinema au naturale, fires up the projector on May 20 for another season of summer classics. Leading the charge, naturally, is Jaws which is both the greatest summer movie and the most New England movie ever produced (eat your heart out, Cider House Rules). How good is Jaws? So good that the kind folks at Misquamicut are screening it three times this summer, plus one screening of Jaws 2. You can’t argue with a movie that’s so good that programmers would rather play it three times than even entertain the thought of dipping into its lesser sequels.

The lineup ranges from other classics (Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, Dirty Dancing) to contemporary hits (Jurassic World, Iron Man). Movies will start at 9pm May through August and 8pm September through October with gates opening an hour beforehand. Admission is a cool $10 per car, so no need to hide your children and/or small friends in the trunk like the T-Birds in that scene from Grease (playing August 4). Weekly Screenings May 20-October 14. Wuskenau Town Beach, 316 Atlantic Avenue, Misquamicut.
