Thursdays in July and August, bring a beach chair and a blanket, and enjoy free movies on the beach this summer in Cape May. No beach tags are required since this is a nighttime event.
Here is the 2018 movie lineup:
July 12 – Flubber (1997; PG)
A remake of the 1961 movie The Absent-Minded Professor, produced by Walt Disney Pictures and starring Robin Williams. Professor Phillip Brainard works to create a substance that’s a new source of energy and winds up inventing flubber, a substance that allows objects to fly through the air.
July 19 – X-Men Apocalypse (2016; PG-13)
The ninth installment of the X-Men franchise starring James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, and Jennifer Lawrence. After the re-emergence of the world’s first mutant, the X-Men must unite to defeat his plan to annihilate the world civilization.
July 26 – Disney’s The Sword in the Stone (1963; G)
In this animated musical by Walt Disney Pictures, a 12-year-old orphan begins his path toward becoming King Arthur, the legendary ruler of British literature.
August 2 – The Sound of Music – Sing Along! (1965; G)
An Academy Award-winning musical starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. In 1930s Austria, a young woman leaves a convent to become a governess to the children of a Naval officer widower.
We don’t have details of what the sing-along involves, but if it’s been a while, you have some time brush up on the lyrics.
August 9 – JAWS (1975; PG)
Steven Spielberg’s 1975 thriller starring Roy Scheider, Robert Shaw, and Richard Dreyfuss. When a great white shark begins to terrorize the small island community of Amity, the local police chief seeks help from a marine biologist and a shark hunter.
JAWS is a popular event, so we recommend arriving well in advance of the movie.
