For your summer viewing pleasure...


Here it is: every single free and cheap outdoor movie and indoor screening in the Birmingham and surrounding areas this summer, all on one site! It doesn’t get much better than a FREE (or cheap), family-friendly flick under the stars. (Don’t worry: we’ll be updating it all summer as more get added/changed, so be sure to bookmark this).
