Outdoor movies took Metro Vancouver by storm this summer, with sunny days outnumbering the wet ones, and it's a picturesque way to spend a warm evening. This summer folks saw Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium at Killarney Community Centre and E.T. at David Lam Park in Yaletown as well as at Hastings Racecourse. We're all looking forward to the outdoor movie lineup come Summer 2009.
