There are many outdoor movie venues in NYC, but Bryant Park is one of the most exciting ever. Why? Sometimes it's loud, it's always crowded and yet somehow magical, after fighting for a spot with a few New Yorkers, you're watching a movie in a valley with sparkling skyscrapers in an ancient potter's field. It is both beautiful and overwhelming.
