Railroad Park kicks off free movie series with “The Hunger Games

Railroad Park is bringing back its free outdoor film series this Thursday with the showing of "The Hunger Games" on a giant outdoor screen.

The movies are free and open to the public, and it's bring-your-own-seating style, which could be a lawn chair, blanket or just a soft spot on the grass. Organizers suggest showing up to the park early to get a good place on the lawn in front of the screen.

Sunset Cinema at Railroad Park will feature movies each Thursday night during October starting at 7 p.m. The schedule is as follows:

Oct. 4: The Hunger Games

Oct. 11: The Princess Bride

Oct. 18: Red Tails

Oct. 25: Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds"

Railroad Park is located in downtown Birmingham at 1600 1st Avenue South. For more information, visit www.RailroadPark.org.
