Who says outdoor movie nights stop once the fall hits? Not me! Movies all day, every day, forever until I wither away. And thanks to the monthly movie nights at Freeway Park, you can keep the party going even after Daylight Saving ends. They’ve already crushed it this fall with the animated chaos The Mitchells vs. the Machines and PG-13 horror classic Tremors, and the rest of their slate is a great excuse to bust out that blanket and a few layers of clothes and head right to the heart of the city. Admission, popcorn, and snacks are free!
👹 The Goonies
📆 Friday, November 10th
⏰ 7 pm
📍 Freeway Park: 700 Seneca St, Seattle
🎟 Free
If you can’t make the trip down to the famous Goonies house in Astoria, Oregon, and respectfully take photos from the sidewalk, you can always rewatch Richard Donner’s iconic adventure about a group of foul-mouthed kids who get in over their heads as they search for One-Eyed Willy’s hidden treasure. You may have seen this comedic swashbuckler many, many times before, but you probably haven’t watched since costar Ke Huy Quan won his Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Everything Everywhere All At Once, so come back around and honor the greatness that is Richard “Data” Wang.

Will Ferrell became a permanent December fixture with Jon Favreau’s four-quadrant Christmas comedy blockbuster Elf, about a human raised in the North Pole. It’s a movie that weaponized Ferrell’s SNL-honed oversized oaf caricature by injecting it with a heaping dose of holiday heart. It’s one thing to yell all your lines, but it’s quite another to build genuine chemistry with a game ensemble of goofballs, most notably a golden-haired Zooey Deschanel, Ed Asner’s pitch-perfect Santa Claus, and a kindly Claymation narwhal.
