Five Cent Nickel has published an updated list of great summer movie deals that apply nationwide.
These are family-friendly movies that range from FREE to $3 or so per ticket. Many of them offer special pricing if you buy a whole summer package.
If those aren’t enough for you, here are a few more options:
- Harkins theaters (located in Phoenix, Ariz., California, Colorado, Oklahoma and Texas) offer summer movies — 10 movies over 10 weeks for $10, or single seats sold day-of for $2 each (when available).
- In the Denver-metro area, the Starz Film Center offers a “Kids Nickelodeon” — every Saturday there’s a free, G-rated movie for kids (the series is best suited to really little ones).
- Also in Denver-metro (in the City of Glendale), Mile High on the Cheap reports that Infinity Park will present several free family movies during the summer.
- If you’d just as soon watch movies at home, sign up with Redbox to get a free-movie promo code the first Monday of every month (this program used to be weekly, so enjoy it this summer while it lasts!). Editorial comment: I’ve had several promo codes and used a couple — and both times, I think the movie showed up as a 2-day rental instead of a freebie on my card. Anyone else had that happen? Or am I crazy?
The movies scream summer because they’re entertaining, they’re diverting and — perhaps best of all — the theaters are air conditioned!

In Colorado, the Boulder Outdoor Cinema is always a blast. They set up a big sheet on the backside of a building and let you lay out your lawn chairs/blankets/etc for the movie showing. Suggested donation is $5. I’ve also heard of various neighborhoods in Denver doing similar kinds of things. And the movies-and-music nights at Red Rocks are also entertaining, as long as you don’t mind being up crazy late to watch a movie after it gets dark on a July evening. It *is* $10, but it does make for a nice “cheap” splurge.

Regal Continental in Denver is showing free family movies Tuesday and Wednesday mornings this summer. There are a number I wish I could play hookie from work to see.

I have had a fabulous time with redbox. The movie shows up on your card as pending, but when it is returned it comes off your bill.
