It's summertime, which means it's time for outdoor movies in Los Angeles!

And ... action! 'Tis the season of free outdoor summer movie series which are popping up all over the city. At parks and beaches, by land or by boat, in the early morning and by the light of the moon, families can catch both recent blockbusters and timeless classics for free.

Below you can find our comprehensive guide to free summer outdoor movies (plus a few movie series that aren't free, but are so fun they're worth a mention). Keep checking back, because we'll continue to post more listings as they are announced, all summer long. Looking for other ways to catch your favorite flick under the stars?
