How did I not know about all these free movies until almost the end of the summer??!!  Shame, shame. 

Fortunately, there are still a few good free ones left to see.  This time, they're at the Mary Pickford Theater at the Library of Congress.

Check out the schedule here:

Coming up tomorrow - 10 things I hate about you - eh...not so great but Heath Ledger is awfully cute and it is based on Shakespeare.  

Friday, the 24th, Titus is playing

Monday, the 27th, looks especially interesting: 

Le Ballon Rouge = The Red Balloon  (34 min, Technicolor, 16mm)
Crin Blanc = White Mane  (40 min, black & white, 35mm)
Le Voyage en Ballon = Stowaway in the Sky (84 min, Technicolor, Dyaliscope, 35mm)

Tuesday, a recent adaptation of Midsummer Night's Dream

RESERVATIONS may be made by phone, beginning one week before any given show. Call (202) 707-5677 during business hours (Monday-Friday, 9:00 am to 4:00 pm). Reserved seats must be claimed at least 10 minutes before showtime, after which standbys will be admitted to unclaimed seats. All programs are free, but seating is limited to 60 seats. The Mary Pickford Theater is located on the third floor of the Library of Congress Madison building.

If you've never been, you should get a Library of Congress library card just because it feels so cool and because the main reading room is gorgeous.  So, take the orange line over to Metro South or walk there from your oh-so-swank Hill office and catch a few more free movies before the summer ends!

And, in case you're back in DC doing another unpaid internship next summer, remember that this amazing free film series will start up again in April.
