- July 20: Top Gun
- July 27: Psycho

The lawn opens up each night at 6 p.m. on a first come, first served basis, and the film will begin at sunset. Before the film, viewers can enjoy a short from BAM Film and a DJ set from Brooklyn Radio. Guests are reminded that picnic blankets are allowed, but chairs and dogs are not permitted on the lawn. Glass bottles and outside alcohol are also not permitted. Complimentary bike parking is offered by Transportation Alternatives at the Pier 1 Turnaround lot off Furman Street.
Each night is free of charge, though guests can show their support by providing a tax-deductible gift to the Conservancy.
