Experience FREE movies outdoors at Seattle Center this summer. Picnic on the gently sloping Mural Amphitheatre lawn, in front of a state-of-the-art 40-foot screen, with the Space Needle looming above. The series features popular movies, both classic and contemporary, appropriate for all-ages. Movies at the Mural is an outdoor cinema experience like no other!

Each screening will be preceded by a short film created by alumni of University of Washington Department of Film & Video Production and students at Cornish College of the Arts at Seattle University.

In keeping with tradition, we offer this beloved classic blending comedy, adventure, romance and fantasy.
