Austin's own mini urban drive-in, Blue Starlite, is revving up for the summer. The drive-in will kick off this season's schedule at their new location on July 4. The Blue Starlite is even building a movie screen for their new site at Austin Studios.

Besides the holiday-appropriate screening on July 4 and a special late-night horror screening, most of the films for the month of July have a distinctly Austin flavor, thanks to a partnership with Austin Film Society.

Bike-in or walk-in tickets for the movies are $5, but you'll need to bring your own seating. Car packages range from $25 to $55. Note for cars: For any double features, an additional $10 lets you stay for the second film.

Here's the lineup:

Tickets aren't available yet for the upcoming August features:

  • Friday, August 10, 9 pm: The Princess Bride, as you wish.
  • Saturday, August 11, 9 pm: The Wild Man of the Navidad
  • Sunday, August 12, 9 pm: Harry and the Hendersons. John Lithgow and Melinda Dillon head up the family that runs into Harry, a sasquatch, in this 1987 film. David Suchet (aka Hercule Poirot) plays the baddie!
  • Thursday, August 23, 9 pm: Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge. Of course you will be singing along in your car.
  • Friday, August 24, 9 pm: John Sayles' 1996 border drama Lone Star.

  • Saturday, August 25, 9 pm: The drive-in friendly, made-to-be-seen-on-the-big-screen 1956 classic Giant.

And then for September:

  • Friday, Sept. 8, 9 pm: 1985's The Goonies!
  • Saturday, Sept. 9, 9 pm: Grease. Another one you'll be singing along with in your car. We won't judge.
