Crystal City is getting ready for its summer showings of outdoor movies. The first movie will run next Monday, June 3.

This year’s theme for the Monday night Crystal Screen movie festival is “Blockbusters.” Last year, residents had the opportunity to vote for which movies they’d like to see relating to the theme.

The movies chosen are a mix of old favorites, such as Jaws, and newer options like The Help. The full schedule is as follows:

• June 3 — E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial
• June 10 — The Social Network
• June 17 — The King’s Speech
• June 24 — Crash
• July 1 — American Beauty
• July 8 — The Blind Side
• July 15 — Moneyball
• July 22 — A Beautiful Mind
• July 29 — Forrest Gump
• August 5 — The Help
• August 12 — Jaws
• August 19 — Inception
• August 26 — Jurassic Park

The movies are shown just after sunset in the green space at 1851 S. Bell Street. The free movies will play rain or shine, but could be canceled in the instance of severe weather.
