Every year, favorite old flicks come back on outdoor screens throughout the summer: "Toy Story," "The Princess Bride," "Ghostbusters" and more.

But there's always something new, as well. This year, for example, look for all the Harry Potter movies in sequence on successive weekends in August at Seattle Center. And there's a Bruce Lee film series at the Center City Cinema in the Chinatown/International District, beginning Aug. 11.

The season starts June 30 with a showing of the set-in-Seattle "Singles" at Fremont Outdoor Movies — the granddaddy of all outdoor cinema series. And more series are yet to be announced. Check this story periodically in the coming weeks for additions.
