Movies on Art Hill in St. Louis This July – JAWS, CLUELESS, BACK TO THE FUTURE, SOUND OF MUSIC

“Here’s to swimmin’ with bow-legged women!”

Everyone knows that Art Hill, in front of the St. Louis Art Museum, is a great place to go sledding in the winter. But did you know it’s a great place to see movies in July?

Their line-up for their annual Friday night film series has been announced and it’s sure to draw thousands. The We Are Movie Geeks gang always goes to these, so if you wanna hang with the cool kids, you should go too. It’s free and they set up a big screen at the bottom of the hill. There are food trucks and beer and wine for sale. You can even go dine in the museum’s restaurant before the show if you got money to burn. If you’re a museum member, you can show your membership card and get free popcorn and ice cream (I did that last year even though my card was expired!). Of course, you can bring a cooler with your own food and drinks as well. It’s a lot of fun! Bring your dog! The movies start at 9 but get there early! Thousands of people show up, especially if the weather is nice, and close parking is scarce. There’s live pre-show music and the people-watching can be entertaining. The annual Food Truck Fest, presented by Sauce Magazine will include a selection of food trucks parked on the west side of the Museum and along Fine Arts Drive. Bring your appetite! Before the movie starts, make sure to tap into your creative side. Each week, there will be an Art Lab for adults complete with an instructor and all the materials you need to create your own Film Series masterpiece.

Here’s the line-up for this summer (all of these movies are celebrating special anniversaries this year):
