Classic films will once again be shown on a giant 20′ x 40′ outdoor screen on The National Mall between 4th and 7th Streets.
The screenings will remain free and open to the public.
The first film will be Close Encounters of the Third Kind, with the remaining movies to be named at a later date
(UPDATE: WP speculates that HBO may take from the lineup of Bryant Park's Screen on the Green and include films Dog Day Afternoon or Rebel without a Cause.)
