“Family Movie Night on the Lawn”

“My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.” If you don’t know where that’s from, you’re missing out on one of the best fairy-tale movies ever, The Princess Bride. This love story between Princess Buttercup and her one true love, Westley, includes sword fights, enormous rodents, friendly giants and even a little kissing. “Family Movie Night,” St. Mark’s monthly night of super-cheap entertainment, offers a movie, soft drinks and popcorn, all for free. If the weather allows, the film will be shown on the front lawn, so viewers may bring chairs and blankets and sit under the stars (also free).
