As more movie lineups get released this summer, the list will be updated accordingly.

From spots right here in Greenpoint and Astoria to those nearby in North Jersey to some cool retro locales a couple hours' away, we've rounded up 18 spots to drive-in, snack on popcorn, and enjoy a good old-fashioned movie night this spring and summer.
