Movies on Market Square Starts Sept. 13

Posted: 08/28/2013
Thousands of people cast their votes for Knox County Public Library's popular outdoor movie series, and the results are in! Presented by Lusid Media, this year's Movies on Market Square features the most popular titles from a decade of movies that have been shown on Market Square since the series began in 2004. Since that time, the Library has screened 57 movies. This year's line-up is dominated by blockbusters from the 1980's including E.T the Extra-Terrestrial, The Princess Bride, and Back to the Future. The top vote getter overall was Despicable Me with more than 1,200 votes.

And the winners are:

9/13 Despicable Me (PG - 2010)
9/20 E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (PG - 1982)
9/27 Jurassic Park (PG13 - 1993)
10/4 The Princess Bride (PG13 - 1987)
10/11 Back to the Future (PG - 1985)
10/18 Iron Man (PG13 - 2008)

All movies are rated PG-13 or less, but parents are encouraged to check out the films to make sure they are right for their family. The series will run for six Friday nights, from September 13 through October 18. Movies begin at dusk, and well behaved dogs are welcome. Moviegoers should bring a lawn chair or blanket to sit on.
