Block Cinema, in conjunction with Northwestern University’s Summer Session, presents FREE movies outdoors along Evanston’s lakefront. This summer’s FREE classic movies—The Blues Brothers, The Breakfast Club, and Breaking Away—focus on Chicagoland and the Midwest. Our other FREE films are three of the biggest hits of the past year—Avatar, The Fantastic Mr. Fox, and Sherlock Holmes. Chicago folks, just jump on the El to enjoy this freebie!
The FREE movies begin at dusk on the East Lawn of the Norris University Center, 1999 Campus Drive. You are welcome to bring your own chairs and blankets. In the event of rain, films will be screened in McCormick Auditorium inside Norris Center.

Sherlock Holmes
(Guy Ritchie, 2009, USA, 128 minutes)
Director Guy Ritchie lends his risqué wit to the other side of law in this original — though spiritually faithful — interpretation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s eccentric investigator. Robert Downey, Jr., more roguish than respectable in the tile role, and co-star Jude Law’s quietly charming, no-nonsense Watson race to stop a serial killer in Victorian London.
