Next weekend in The Junction: West Seattle Outdoor Movies

West Seattle Summer Fest is over, but The Junction has more summer fun ahead.

Next Saturday night (July 16), West Seattle Outdoor Movies begins, with “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens,” last winter’s sensation, the first new SW movie in a decade. This starts the countdown to WSOM’s season-ending move to a new venue – the first five Saturday-night movies this season are where they’ve long been, the courtyard next to Hotwire Online Coffeehouse (4410 California SW; WSB sponsor) on the north end of The Junction; then the season finale on August 20th will be the first movie in the new venue, the “festival street” next to the West Seattle YMCA (4515 36th SW; WSB sponsor) in The Triangle. Here again is the season lineup – each title links to its trailer:

July 16th: “Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens” (featuring pre-show Star Wars trivia)

July 23rd – “Monty Python and The Holy Grail” (featuring pre-show live music)

July 30th – “School of Rock” (featuring pre-show live music)

August 6th – “Skyfall” (featuring pre-show James Bond trivia)

August 13th – “The Lego Movie” (featuring a free pre-movie barbecue)

August 20th – “Princess Bride

The big question is always “what time does the movie start?” The answer varies week to week because the start time is dusk, and that gets earlier as the weeks go by, starting in the 9 pm vicinity. But you don’t want to show up at the last minute anyway, because space in the courtyard goes fast once the gates open at 6:30 pm (this is a big reason why the series is moving at season’s end, to someplace with lots more space).

What else you need to know:

-Bring your own chairs and/or blankets
-Admission is free; bring cash for concessions and raffles raising $ for local nonprofits
-See the official poster (which we featured here) for the list of local businesses and organizations co-sponsoring WSOM (including us!)
-If you didn’t get the official robot-logo button at Summer Fest, ask for one on Saturday!
