Movies on the Block, Providence's only outdoor movie theatre, returns in June to kick off it's ninth season.  And now, they have announced their lineup of great films to be shown at Westminster Street's Grant's Block. 

Movies are screened each Thursday evening in the summer beginning at sundown at 260 Westminster Street. Don't forget -- come early to reserve a spot, bring your own chairs and blankets, and keep in mind that the movies rely on cooperation from Mother Nature!

Check out the 2015 schedule (with notable quotes) below!

The Exorcist
August 13

"Especially important is the warning to avoid conversations with the demon. We may ask what is relevant but anything beyond that is dangerous. He is a liar. The demon is a liar. He will lie to confuse us. But he will also mix lies with the truth to attack us. The attack is psychological, Damien, and powerful. So don't listen to him. Remember that - do not listen."

About the film

Blood Simple
August 20

"If you point a gun at someone, you'd better make sure you shoot him, and if you shoot him you'd better make sure he's dead, because if he isn't then he's gonna get up and try to kill you."
