Description
Gotta love a free movie (tips appreciated), smack dab in the middle of Dolores Park, right? For those that aren't aware of what this is, Dolores Park Movie Night has no affiliations, no causes, no politics and minimal organization. *From their movie site* "We pay for permits, movie licences, and equipment ourselves and only ask for small donations to cover recurring costs. Dolores Park Movie Night is our small contribution to the local community."The next movie to be screened in the park is Trading Places with Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. It was released originally in 1983, and if you forgot the plot line, here it is:
###
The "Nature vs Nurture" debate gets put to the test when Randolph and Mortimer Duke (wealthy Blue Bloods who own a successful commodoties trading firm) make a bet as to whether opportunity makes the man. For the experiment, they choose their soon-to-be nephew-in-law, Louis Winthorpe III (Dan Aykroyd), Harvard educated, silver spoon manager of the firm's Philadelphia office , and street hustler Billy Ray Valentine (Eddie Murphy).

Grab a blanket, some snacks... and whatever else you think would make the night a little more enjoyable (if you catch my drift). Also, you may want to show up early to get a good spot!
