Earlier this summer, Stuyvesant Town and Peter Cooper Village hosted a free music series on the oval, featuring such groups as Marc Ribot y Los Cubanos Postizos, Delorean, and Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens. Stuytown will now say goodbye to summer with a three-night free movie series, with films being projected onto a thirty-by-fifty-foot screen in the oval. The triple play begins September 14 with Tim Burton’s misbegotten remake, CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY (2005), with Johnny Depp as the somewhat demented candyman. On September 15, Audrey Hepburn stars as Holly Golightly in one of the most memorable New York City films ever made, Blake Edwards’s BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S (1961); just do your best to forget about Mickey Rooney’s horribly racist portrayal of a Chinese neighbor. And on September 16, Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Harold Ramis, and Ernie Hudson aren’t afraid of no ghosts in Ivan Reitman’s comedy, GHOST BUSTERS (1984), which had one sequel back in 1989, with GHOST BUSTERS 3 rumored for 2012.
