We love outdoor movie screenings because they’re like a picnic with a bit of entertainment, a novel change of pace from hitting the bars or going out for dinner, a chance to enjoy the evening air and take in an old classic or new favorite alongside your loved ones. We’ve picked five great outdoor movie options in the Phoenix area that should rocket to the top of your list of cute date spots.
