Free movies at dusk in St. James Park 6 consecutive Saturdays, July 19 through August 23, 2008. Warm Saturday nights when the kids can stay up late and the cool grass and setting of historic St. James Park. It will be a good time. Great films for a date or the whole family. Check cinequest.org for special drink and food offers.

August 16: West Side Story
This movie transplants the classic tale of "Romeo and Juliet" to New York City in the 1950s. The two feuding families are replaced by brawling street gangs. The Montagues become the Anglo Jets, led by Riff, and the Capulets become the Puerto Rican Sharks, led by Bernardo. At a dance, Tony, former leader of the Jets and Riff's best friend, and Maria, Bernardo's little sister, see each other across the room and it's love at first sight. With opposition from both sides, they meet secretly and their love grows deeper. However, the gangs are plotting one last rumble, a fight that will finally end the battle for control of the streets. Will Tony and Maria's love carry through a battle that threatens to destroy the people they love around them?
