Summertime evokes a certain small town feel in many San Diego neighborhoods. Hillcrest, in particular, hosts a fun summertime event called Cinema Under the Stars. All summer long, this quaint Hillcrest outdoor theater entertains locals (and visitors) with old and really-old classic movies showing under the stars. Invite old friends or a new date to reminisce over a good movie on a warm summer night.
Although admission is $12.50, you get to relax in a “gravity recliner” with heat lamps and enjoy an intimate outdoor experience. Besides—in-theater movies will probably be up to $13 by the end of the summer, at the rate they’re rising. All shows start 8:30pm.
