Outdoor Movie Idea: The Blind Side
We recently read about how The Blind Side was screened as an outdoor movie at the Aloha Theater in Hawaii, and thought it was a great idea for a backyard theater or outdoor movie event!
Here is the official trailer for The Blind Side:
The Blind Side is based on the true story of the early life ofMicheal Oher(played by Quinton Aaron) , a football offensive tackle for the Baltimore Ravens in the NFL. The film depicts Oher struggling through early school and life, with not much hope for the future. Sandra Bullock plays Leigh Anne Tuohy, a determined southern woman who adopts Oher and helps him get on a path of success and promise. The film follows the struggle and path that led Oher to become a highly coveted college football player, eventually to be drafted to the NFL.
Bullock received an Oscar and Golden Globe award for her peformance as Tuohy, and the film received a host of nominations including an Oscar nomination for best picture.
The Blind Side is a really great pick for your next outdoor movie series, not just because it is a film your entire community will enjoy, but because it is about those heartwarming values that hold all of us together. If you're interested in screening this film, you can get the licensing through Swank Motion Pictures. We can't think of a better way to bring your community together than to watch a movie like The Blind Side under the stars!
