Last week, we at the Scene kicked off our inaugural Movies in the Park-ing Lot series — a pandemic-friendly spin on our popular long-running Movies in the Park series — with a screening of 2018’s phenomenal Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. This week we’re queuing up another excellent (if markedly different) film for our second of four MIPL installments: Greta Gerwig’s acclaimed 2019 adaptation of Little Women. Featuring outstanding performances from Saoirse Ronan, Florence Pugh, Laura Dern and Meryl Streep — not to mention a refreshing approach to telling a long-familiar story — writer-director Gerwig’s Little Women is a treat for fans of the Louisa May Alcott novel and newcomers alike. It’s also family-friendly, and features one of the best titular-line-delivery moments in the history of cinema, thanks to a certain modern-day comedic legend. (If you’re a fan of alternative sketch comedy and are not familiar with the cameo I’m referencing, it’s absolutely worth preserving the surprise.) In order to attend, enter our lottery for parking passes. We’ll select 50 winners for each screening, with up to six guests allowed per car. Visit nashvillemoviesinthepark.com for more information and to enter the parking-pass lottery. Up next: Star Wars: A New Hope (!) on Aug. 20, and 9 to 5 (!!) on Aug. 27. 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 13, at OneC1TY, 8 City Blvd. D. PATRICK RODGERS
