On Tuesday, Sunset Cinema — Georgetown’s first free, outdoor film series — will kick off at the Georgetown Waterfront Park. Movies will be screened alongside the Potomac river every Tuesday night at 7 p.m. until August 4.

All of the movies featured in the series are inspired by Georgetown and take place in the neighborhood. The first film in the lineup is the 1985 “St. Elmo’s Fire,” a coming-of-age drama a group of friends that have recently graduated from Georgetown University.

Other movies in the series include the political thriller “State of Play” and Joel and Ethan Coen’s dark comedy “Burn After Reading.”

And skip the popcorn during the screening for a snack that’s a bit more adventurous. Georgetown eateries like Malmaison and Simply Banh Mi are offering buy-one, get-one drink specials, free desserts with picnic meals and discounts to Sunset Cinema guests.

Make sure to grab your drinks and a picnic blanket beforehand. Lawn chairs and alcohol are prohibited at the movie.
