Breathtaking unique atmosphere with a family favorite or adult date night film is sheer magic and unforgettable entertainment.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND such an amazing experience to do with family. This place needs more business; its up to us to keep it alive!

We love Red Rocks. The best venue in Colorado. Not sure how they keep it so clean but appreciate that they do.

This spot is following COVID guidelines. When entering the park the masked staff hand you your snacks and then the parking crew ushers you to your designated spot where they are social distancing between vehicles. You are required to wear a mask when outside your vehicle, including walking to the restroom. They have roaming security to make sure you keep your mask on so everyone should feel very, very safe. This place is probably one of the most coolest, romantic places I got to experience on my short trip to Colorado. The drive In to the movie theater was just as gorgeous as the drive-in theater itself! The red rocks are absolutely beautiful and the view is to die for!! On this specific night we got to watch the moon rise over the mountain right as the movie ended and it was a sight to see! Once the movie was over they did a fantastic job of asking sure everybody was able to leave in an organized, quick fashion, and once again the drive out was a beautiful sight to see! I would highly recommend getting to experience the drive in!! I will absolutely be visiting again when COVID is over and also to check out the park and amphitheater. read more

Film on the Rocks is def one of my FAVORITE summer happenings! A local band (sometimes even a comedy act) and a movie in the best outdoor venue for a mere $15? Uh yes please! I've had the opportunity to see both Jurassic Park and Bridesmaids for Film on the Rocks. Both experiences have been awesome! ++ I love that you can buy tickets ahead of time online! ++ I love that you can bring in a little picnic (though no bringing in your OWN alcohol, glass bottles, or aluminum cans, water bottles must be empty upon entry) to enjoy during the show! ++ I love that parking is FREE (though if you don't get there early be ready for a hike)! ++ I love that you can buy alcohol (though last time 2 beers cost $18, eek)! ++ I love that it's Red Rocks. Nothing compares! I'll def be back for many more fabulous evenings beneath the stars, catching some of my favorite movies with my friends! :) **Pro Tip: Bring a blanket to sit on and wear layers! You never know what Colorado is going to throw at you and once the sun goes down those ninety degree days don't always make for the warmest nights! read more

Doors open at 630pm with music bands staring at 7pm but the movie don't start till around 9pm. Awesome event but prepare to sit on rock hard surface with no seat backs. Bring a pillow and get comfortable. It will get windy too so pack extra clothes. Try to park at North Lot by entering through Gate 1 and 2. Gate 3 leads you to South lot where you have to hike up a steep hill. You can't bring water and they will make you dump it out before entering. They have cash bars inside with draft beers costing only $8 and up. read more

I wish I had read the other negative reviews. They created a "family night" at Red Rocks Amphitheatre around the Thor movie on 6/13/22, then proceeded to program obscene and offensive "music" performer N3ptune. Denver Film was fully aware this band was not kid friendly with cameras zeroed in on the lead wearing offensive clothing, singing obscene lyrics and gyrating on all fours. Total lack of cultural awareness, the very thing they try to stand for. The crowd tried unsuccessfully to boo them off the stage. read more

The views are amazing and it's always fun to watch a movie outside and under the stars. This year I saw Big Lebowski (meh) and Jurassic Park. It can be hard to find a good parking spot and good seats for the show; of course it helps to go early. I recommend bringing: * non-alcoholic beverages in factory-sealed plastic containers * a cushion or blanket to sit on * a blanket or jacket, as it gets windy * a flashlight, especially when you're walking back to your car and other cars can't see you Prohibited: * anything in aluminum cans, no matter what it is * fruit, unless it's pre-sliced * obviously weapons and anything else you would think would be bad to bring A more helpful list can be found here: http://www.redrocksonline.com/VISITORINFORMATION/FAQ.aspx#What_things_am_I_not_allowed_to_bring_into_the_Amphitheatre_ They're pretty strict with the beverages and fruit rule, though there are tons of people who smoke up during the movies. I've never seen anyone cracking down on the drug issue, and that can be a problem if you're sitting near someone with a problem. It can be amusing when hundreds of people are cheering at first sight of a particular actor on screen, but idiots randomly shouting for cheap laughs can be unpleasant after a while. Just don't let the obnoxious attendees or waft of marijuana get to you too much, and enjoy the unique experience. read more

Tons of fun. Here's info that may be useful that I was unable to find beforehand: 1) Tailgating is allowed in the parking lots, but apparently the use of tailgate tents is not. They let us use ours anyway because it was already up and it was raining. 2) coolers are allowed inside, but they can't have a handle or wheels. We were able to "take ours back to the car" and come back using the straps to carry it instead of the wheels and we were fine. They do pay attention to the size of the cooler and they need to fit under the bench. 3) The website says snacks have to be in clear plastic bags. We opened up our factory sealed store bought popcorn from Costco and put it in a bunch of plastic ziploc bags only to see someone else inside with the big red bag that we had. So I don't know if that rule still applies. 4) It did rain during our show but it only lasted about 5 minutes. Almost everyone had umbrellas and it didn't block anyone's view or get in the way. Ponchos work great too. 5) We went inside at about 7:15pm and the seats were already half full. If you're particular about where you sit, be first in line. 6) If you own stadium seats with a back, bring them! We had a great time, I highly recommend doing this at least once. It's worth the $15 ticket price ($12 +$3 convenience fee). Our show (Princess Bride) was sold out the day before the show and the stadium was completely full despite the rain, and despite it being a Monday night. read more

Anything at Red Rocks is great. A $12.00 ticket to watch a movie with Denver lights as the backdrop, live local music, a comedian and classic cartoons is completely worth every penny. I highly recommend packing a picnic when attending with a small group or a large group. Food vendors are present and even a restaurant if you forget, but most everyone brings food. Make sure you read the list of items not allowed before you start your trek to the gate, otherwise you will be making a long walk, depending on where you parked, to return something to your car. You will get a mix of all sorts, every sort; teeny boppers, hordes of high schoolies, family's with little kids, groups of adults, groups of college kids, movie fanatics, young professionals, the elderly hip and the guaranteed group of party-goers that think FOTR's is the same scene as the concert they went to last weekend complete with pre-priming with full parking lot pre-party followed by unrespectful pot smoking during the entire movie. I don't mind pot at Red Rocks, I actually think it belongs there, but not during FOTR with a family oriented environment. Even the artists and comedians refrain from cursing, that type of scene. There will always be something, which makes it a great experience. Bringing everyone together is actually pretty amazing without riots breaking out and territorial fights over blanket placement and such. I like that everyone gets along somehow to enjoy a great night under the stars. The cool summer nights, the great people watching and the natural beauty is fantastic. I love that Denver has such a beautiful venue to host popular cult classics. I look forward to Film On The Rocks as much as a good band playing. read more

If you're looking for some amazing summertime activity, check this out! Definitely take any friends or family visiting from out of town as well, they'll be very impressed. The movie line-up is stellar as well, at least in my opinion. My tip would be plan accordingly! Just moving to Denver my friends and I weren't as prepared as we could have been with our clothing. Definitely wear warmer clothing and take some blankets to both sit on and cover up with! It could have just been a cold night we went on, but I still think you'd want something to sit on for the hours you'll be there. Also I didn't realize you could bring in your own food and drinks which we will definitely be doing next time! They do sell food there, but I had the pizza and it was old and cost almost $8 for a personal size. I wish they sold other drinks besides beer and water, we were really wanting some hot chocolate! Other than that, it's a great experience watching some of your favorite movies with a huge audience that is interacting and making the movie more fun. I've seen other reviews where people complain about people talking, but honestly you have no problem hearing the movie (it's even a bit loud sometimes), and having commentary on the movie is like watching with a HUGE group of friends. I can't wait to go see a few more films this summer. read more

Film on the Rocks - The view from your seats, over the screen. Denver in the distance there! - Outdoor Movies Near Me - Morrison, Colorado

What can I say about Film on The Rocks that others haven't said? Not much, friends, not much. Part of me wants to give FoTR fives stars but there is piece of me that can't and here's why. The concept is awesome however it is organized chaos and I don't like that. I love that you can buy the tickets online and when I say that and heard rave reviews from friends, I was excited about it. Really, I can't compare the experience of watching a film from my youth at the Red Rocks to anything else. But when I got there I was sorely disappointed because of said chaos. I don't like the whole "grab your seats as you wish" thing and there are waaaaaaay too much high schoolers who want to do anything but watch the movie. It's just a bit annoying when you shell out some cash to see a movie you wanna see and you can barely concentrate because of rude people around you. Also, for those of us who have a normal job, it's a bit difficult to go to since most movies don't start until 9pm after a band and (what I've seen) weak comedian. But besides that? This was one of my favorite things about summertime in Denver. I love that you can bring drinks and snacks in and get to spend the night outside with others while catching a flick. If you wanna splurge, you can get a VIP ticket that gets you access to food from Steubens and free beer. Free beer, need I say more? Plus, I kinda like being able to get a killer workout on my glutes by climbing up the hills and stairs each time I go there. read more

Yes another great season! Looking forward to these good movies. June 3: Caddyshack June 10: Fight Club June 16: Labyrinth June 24: This is Spinal Tap July 1: The Fast & The Furious July 8: The Hunger Games: Catching Fire July 29: Pitch Perfect September 2: The Big Lebowski read more

We came to see a movie and relax, instead the first hour was some crap music dropping F-bombs in a family oriented outing. Whoever thinks that kind of music works for this movie venue ought to be replaced. Ridiculous . read more

I love Film on the Rocks because it brings back the feeling of drive-ins sans the car, of course. But, really there's nothing like hanging out on a blanket under the stars watching an old classic on the big screen... Unless that is your movie is preceded by comedians and bands. Unless that is you're allowed to buy beer and wine to drink while watching the movie. Unless that is everyone around you has seen the movie already and shouts along with their favorite parts or doesn't mind the chit chat of conversation that goes along with drinking and general merriment. Unless that is you have a trading post option where you get free food, beer, and wine in addition to VIP seating for $30. Unless that is you have the option of taking a party bus all the way up to Red Rocks so you don't have to worry about driving or parking. And since Film on the Rocks has all of the above I guess what I'm saying is that it's a little like the drive-in experience of my youth, but a whole lot more awesome. read more

This is quite the Colorado movie going experience!! So I read some reviews to prepare for my first Film on the Rocks experience. I had to piece together here and there information so I thought I would condense my experience and what I learned. 1. Arrive early - about an hour and a half early if you want a decent spot and decent parking. Parking can be a little goofy, however as long as you don't mind a little hike it's really not an issue especially since it's free. 2. Bring the goods. Seriously, bring goodies. They allow any food/sealed drinks (no aluminum or alcohol). We went with 4 people and brought 2 bags of popcorn, chex mix, twizzlers, kit kats, and a box of chips ahoy. It was perfect! 3. Remember to bring water bottles/pop/tea if you want to save some money and bring your own drinks. 4. You may purchase alcohol there. It's about 7.50 a pint, which really isn't that bad. Tip: Don't get sloshed, all those stairs aren't a ton of fun after one too many drinks. 5. Bring blankets and layers. My butt and the concrete aren't really a match made in heaven, so plan on bringing a couple blankets for butt cushioning and one to throw over your lap. Weather can stay warm and mild or get cool and brisk once that sun goes down, so it's a good idea to bring along some layered clothing such as long sleeve shirts to throw on and a sweatshirt if needed. They have party bus (dinner at blake street tavern) packages and Trading Post (picnic dinner at the park) packages if you want to add to your experience. All together it was a BLAST. The picture and sound is really superb, I was quite impressed. The facilities and whole park is pretty clean. Everyone seems to just be there for a pretty good time. Can't wait for the next one! read more

Amazing!!! I went here, It was a beautiful cloudy, looked like a stormy night was upon us. What was even better was The School of Rock was a pre performance, and the grand entertainment for the evening was (drum roll) Wayne's World! We arrived, just as we pulled up and of course we were meeting another group there, it begins to pour, not an L.A. type of pour but a Colorado down pour. I have to say my line experience was superb! The woman in front of me handed over an extra umbrella and let me keep it through out the night! We we let in found our wet bench and claimed our spots for ourselves and our friends. The School of Rock came on and these kids travel on tour, and man they were good, I was dancing in the rain.They even did a tribute to the Beastie Boys "Sabotage" and a girl sang, I was so impressed, I almost peed! I am a huge Beastie Boys fan from way back. It takes a lot to impress me when it comes to that. The School of kicked behind! The main attraction began! It was a spectacle of pure fun, less crazy of course than lets say Rocky Horror, but the same free, fun vibe. I really had a blast, I hope to see one more thing their before I come home. I can not wait! Red Rock Rules! If you get a chance, not only is it amazing, beautiful, a fantastic workout, events are tuns of fun! read more

I feel the need - the need for speed! Thanks to Yelp Denver I was able to enjoy Film on the Rocks (Top Gun) and check out the Trading Post Pre-Party as well. You too can get in on the action by purchasing a general admission ticket or for around $30 you can purchase a tix to the pre-party and enjoy: BBQ (dogs on the grill - including veggie ones),wine, beer, mini-cupcakes and snack bars to name a few. Plus you get to chill with some cool folks and have access to VIP seating (a roped off area). This is quite a deal when you look at the $8 beers inside the venue. Things to remember: *we are in the "rainy" season so pack a rain jacket but skip the umbrella as a courtesy to your fellow moviegoers. Drinking and umbrellas do not mix - if you must bring one please try to hold it steady. *the seats are not comfortable - bring blankets or cushions - back support is even better. *parking is plentiful but plan on spending a lot of time waiting once the movie is out . Part of the adventure. *bring snacks but check out the website to be sure of what you can bring into the venue - huge coolers are a no-no. We saw 2 folks walking back down to put them in their cars. *wear comfortable shoes - or pack your pumps to wear once you are inside - the climb up the hill can be brutal. *be sure to turn around at least once to take in the rocks - it is a beautiful view. *skip this is you hate when people talk during movies. Everyone should experience Film on the Rocks at least once! read more

Again, does Red Rocks need a review? :) I'll focus on the Film on the Rocks program. It's a blast, highly recommend going! Very popular movies will sell out and/or be crowded. Here's how it works... When they say doors open, they don't mean the movie starts... remember, you are outdoors and it's during the summer... SO you have to wait until dusk/dark for the movie to begin. Yes, if you get there early, you can get great seats but then don't be angry that you are sitting there for hours waiting for the movie. We go often, we pack a dinner and tailgate by the car. Then go in with snacks, blankets, and camping seats. Doors will open and the band will play a few sets. Then they show some 'commercials' and an old school cartoon. Finally the film will begin. It's summer... so dark happens a little later. Keep that in mind if you are bringing kiddos! read more

This is a review of the drive in portion of Film on the Rocks. I would like to say I really support Denver Film Society and Red Rocks in general. But this event was not a great set up for COVID safety. We arrived at 6:30pm and it was clear there wasn't really any separate designation for taller vehicles, which were interspersed with smaller cars. Many people came with racks and storage containers still attached to their roofs as well, so it was very easy to have your view obstructed. In addition, cars were not separated by an empty spot but were instead staggered slightly, so if you opened your front windows and the car next to you opened their back windows you were not 6' apart. We were told to park less than 6' apart by employees who were guiding us and they let a Jeep park in front of our car. There were many people who brought chairs and tried to set up outside their vehicles against the rules and eventually employees did come by to stop this but it took an hour or so before that happened. There were definitely many people picnicking in truck beds which is also against the stated rules. Many kids ran around their cars without masks and a few adults as well. No regulation for lines at the portopotties. Provided snacks were tasty and the movie sound and viewing were great. But not worth the money or the risk just to watch a movie. Definitely check out some of the other local drive ins. read more

I can't believe that I'm giving this amazing Amphitheatre 3 stars but here is why: 1) Seating! Seating is horrible. Why? Because there aren't any seats. Besides the backaches, people just love to take your spot even if you arrive 5 minutes late. We had to tell a few people to "get the hell outta here" and it wasn't pretty. So why did we pay upwards of $80 for a seat that anyone can use? Ridiculous. What's the point? 2) Beer selection is great but their prices aren't. We paid $7.25-$7.75 for one beer. Besides these two points, Red Rocks is beautiful, great workout, and concerts are awesome. read more

Finally made it to FOTR, after how many years in Denver?! I'm ashamed of myself. We made it out for the first FOTR this year, The Hangover. How awesome is that? It was sold out, they said this was the first first FOTR to sell out. The bands were great, Channel 2 news- The Duece- was there to pump everyone up. There was a comedian to get us all in the spirit of the movie. Awesome, awesome, awesome. This is the perfect setting for events like this. The crowd is great. I love being able to bring munchies for the movie or a light dinner. I love the sunsets at Red Rocks, you can't beat those. And the screen is huge! I was really surprised at how big it was. The sound is great too. Go a bit early for a good seat in the middle though, because your view could be obstructed by the speakers on both sides of the stage. I love Denver in the summer, I swear, it doesn't get better than this. Can't wait to go back for more. read more

I love love red rocks! It is such an amazing venue to just experience! This was my second time at red rocks film on the rocks. This time we came a little more prepared then the first time. You are allowed to bring in coolers with food and drinks, blankets, umbrellas, and stadium chairs. Obviously they will check everything you bring in (no alcohol allowed). The film always starts about an hour after the start time because they have a band that plays then they thank the sponsors for providing film on the rocks. The sponsors will do their little stint and throw some free shirts out into the crowd :) For seats, its first come basis. There are prime seating in the center for best viewing, but it's reserved for those that purchased VIP. Either way you can see from any seat. But if you sit closer on the edges, the speakers will obstruct your view. We bought our tickets same day online where there is a convenience fee. Or you could purchase tickets day of at the box office. These usually sell out like a concert, but thankfully they still had tickets for guardian of the Galaxy. Also that's another thing, do not expect to see brand new releases. They provide a list of all the movies they will be showing online at the start of summer. Either way, if you are living in Colorado, this is a must to check off of your list of things to do and see! read more

Super fun time. Went last night to see Super Troopers, and we went a couple times last season as well. Minus a couple stars because the parking guys were just horrible...surly and egotistical and did not want to be there. Is it really worth it to make us restart our car to move us up a half an inch (literally)? Also...movie did not start until 9:30pm, when doors opened at 6:30pm. We thought we were cutting it close by not heading up from tailgating until 8:15 and stopping at the bathroom on the way. No...we were stuck listening to a band, advertisement, promoters, and then a horrible comedian. When the film finally started, we got another 10 minutes of ads. YUCK. I'd pay a few dollars more to eliminate some of that. We had told our sitter we would be home around 11:30, thinking that was generous. We were late...which kind of sucks for a Tuesday night. I get you have bills to pay,FOTR. But maybe save some of the ads for a weekend screening, or bump up the entertainment. We assumed the movie would start (as stated) at dusk...which was at 8:30 last night. The bands and comedy could have started a little earlier, or been eliminated (especially the comedian..horrible)....especially on a Tuesday night showing. read more

Anything at red rocks is going to be an amazing time! Amazing venue to go with friends and just relax. Lots of stair climbing so be prepared. Bring sealed water bottles and food, it's very pricey there. First come seating so if you want to sit up front get there early. Lots of people so it can get a little cramped if you don't get there early. read more

Best venue in the country. That is bold to say, I realize but I've been to venues in various states in the US and a few in the UK and this is really the bee's knees. I don't care if you go there just to take in the view, already you will be blown away. If you really want a treat you will fork over the money and go to a show or FOTR (ideally a show). Sometimes when the lighting is just right and you have a clear view of the city with the appropriate music life just seems so much easier. Of course, it does help that you will likely get a contact high at almost any show. In sum, people don't make DVDs of their shows at Red Rocks for a reason. This place is the ultimate. Note: Expect pricey food and drinks. Sometimes, the food is a fundraiser for proms or other events which is pretty cool. Also be ready for very, very, very long waits to get out of a parking lot and to possibly have a hard time finding your car. I believe there is an app to help you with this problem. read more

I can't believe it took me a year and a half to make it to my first FOTR. I actually came here with my husband and a bunch of friends to watch Princess Bride and celebrate our 2-year wedding anniversary. There are few things more fun than grilling in the Red Rocks parking lot, drinking champagne, listing to a live band, watching the sunset in one of the most gorgeous settings in America, and then listing to every single person in the crown say all the lines to your favorite movies, like movie karaoke...for only $10. Plus you can bring your own popcorn! read more

What do you do when your Golden Birthday is on a Tuesday right before a holiday weekend? Go to Film on the Rocks and watch Johnny Depp's ginormous projected lovely self while drooling all over yourself. Whoever had the idea to start Film on the Rocks is a genius. I was pleasantly surprised to watch a band themed for the flick and one of those crazy dangling ribbon acrobat woman before our movie. If you are out in Denver during the summer visiting, seeing a movie here is a must one-of-a-kind experience. If you've never been to Red Rocks and live in Denver... one of these events is the time to go! After singing all these praises you may be asking yourself why not 5 stars? It's cheap, it's unique, it's fun so what's the problem? Well the tickets to get in are cheap the alcohol is not (pretty typical of event venues) and I had no warning that my ass would be uncomfortable during the entire movie. If you go, do yourself a favor and bring a cushy chair, blanket or pad and a couple of bottles of water and I'm sure you'll be able to forget about the astronomical price of your beer after the first 4! read more

Good location for a movie especially for the view. It was my first time so I thought the volume of sound might be bad but the sound system was really good. I have only been to one movie and so my review will be based on this experience. We saw "Breakfast Club" and while I enjoyed myself the band and comedian as well as the movie was not kid friendly. I would even say that the atmosphere was not kid friendly what so over. I haven't been to a kid type of film or a more modest rates movie but it the style is similar than I would suggest to find a babysitter and make it a date night. I did enjoy myself. read more

Film on the Rocks - Outdoor Movies Near Me - Morrison, Colorado

I copied this review for below but it sums up our reaction to Last Night's viewing of "The Breakfast Club". This used to be a blast! I am sitting here at the moment waiting for the movie to start while being inundated by useless advertisements, comedic acts, etc. Everyone around me feels the same way; everyone is on their phones, no one is paying attention. We are all just over this. If I ever come back for a Film on the Rocks I am coming at around 9:30, when they finally roll the film we all came here to see. I will add: If you go to see "Film On The Rocks", go in early. Set up your seats and then leave (if possible) and enjoy a nice tail gate party outside of the Venue. The view and surrounding area will still be great but you will not be bombarded with thoughtless loud abuse noise and endless pandering of a captive audience. read more

This is by far one of my favorite things that I have done since moving to Colorado. We went and saw Jurassic Park here last summer. The pre-show music was insane. This event turned me on to the musician Marc Broussard who is currently in my Top 10 of all time list. He is phenomenal. If you don't know who he is, go look him up, it's ok! I can wait. The rest of this review can hold on until you go YouTube or iTunes him... or something. CHECK HIM OUT NOW!! Anyway. Seeing Jurassic Park in this format and in this venue was the best thing ever. It was such an awesome experience to hear the T Rex roar before attacking the tour Jeep and then looking up and seeing the moon and stars and thousands of people around me. It was incredible. The food was also amazing and those alcoholic lemonade shakeups are radtastic. Awesome experience, right on Red Rocks, right on! read more

Absolute best (as well as one of the cheapest) music and film experiences in the whole universe! And if you're a member of the Denver Film Society--which you should be--tix are only $10. read more

It's rare, but in this case all of the hype is true. This place is gorgeous. Red Rocks is the only concert venue where I have seen the musicians bring out cameras to take pictures of themselves and of the audience in the middle of a show. There's just something magical about this location, especially at sunset when you may be lucky enough to see a full moon take the place of the sun and bathe the entire audience in a strange pinkish light from reflection on the rocks. Can't find a musical show you want to see? Try Film on the Rocks. Red Rocks chooses to play mostly cult-status movies on select dates throughout the summer. Tickets are a good deal and you get to see a movie in the most beautiful natural amphitheater in the West. read more

This is a truly unique Colorado experience, and I love it because it's priced at a point where everyone can participate. You're paying $12 (which is less than you'd usually pay for a UA ticket + popcorn) and you get: 1. To sit outside in a geological phenomenon that takes your breath away every time you look up, and allows you to enjoy a huge vista of Denver, the plains, and the foothills 2. To mingle with people of all ages, races, backgrounds, and styles- one of the only places I've found in Denver where that's true and consistent (outside of church- and let's be honest, this kicks church's ass) 3. To see a fantastic movie and react with the crowd to favorite scenes- cheering when a favorite character is introduced, screaming when things are scary, laughing when the same corny jokes everyone loves are used 4. To bring your own picnic, blankets, and beverages- so that if your ideal movie snacks are brie and baguette and wine you are free to party like Bacchus. (See here for a list of OK'ed things: http://www.redrocksonline.com/PUREENTERTAINMENT/PermittedItems.aspx) Hell, I'm going to see Friday the 13th in two weeks and I don't even like horror movies. It's THAT AWESOME. read more

Ah, to be injured and attending Film on the Rocks. First of all, I saw Goonies Monday night. For $12, we had music, we had comedy, and beautiful clear blue skies. Traffic was kind of a pain, but that's just the way it is when 9,000 people attend a movie. Tailgating here is always awesome. One of the best parts was a guy in the parking lot telling me that since I was injured (hello, foot cast!) it would guarantee us front row seats. And it did, for all 8 of us. Pretty awesome. Not to mention the beer that goes with Red Rocks, and as a fellow yelper already said, everyone shouting out dialogue. It was like a Goonies family! Best night out for $12 you could ever have. read more

If you have a thing for cult films, and love the splendor of Red Rocks, then this event is for you! My fiancee and I went to the June 24th event, in which "This is Spinal Tap" was the feature presentation. Aside from watching one of our favorite flicks, we got to see a concert from the Denver School of Rock, which was amazing! We got the VIP package, which includes free food and drinks at Blake Street Tavern, and a free ride to and from Red Rocks. I believe what makes this event great is the fact that it takes place at Red Rocks, where you can watch a movie under the stars. Highly recommended. read more

What a glorious night at the Red Rocks! Film on the Rocks is just one of the best times there is at a very affordable price. We saw the movie Top Gun, and everyone was having a blast. It was almost packed to capacity on an especially beautiful night. The crowd sang along with the retro songs from the movie. Before the flick, there was one of the best polka bands ever playing the polka to Lady GaGa and other pop stars as well as other great pop classics. They also did all the great polka standards like the chicken dance. It is on around $12 a ticket and free parking, so bring your blankets, popcorn, and bottled water for a great time! read more

Film on the Rocks is awesome. I'm sad to say I don't get there as often as I should over the summer. Last year we saw the Talking Heads movie - it was so much fun! It was like a concert. This year we made it out for ET. It was a packed house - even with the rainy weather. The only issue I had with ET is that it was super loud. Like ear drum busting loud - think about that part where Drew Barrymore screams when she sees ET - now cover your ears. Still too loud. Overall though, such an awesome experience! read more

I went here for THE GOONIES!!!! sold out show. It was ummm EPIC! The band before hand was good. In between there was some commercials put on by people (live commercials) thought that was kinda unique. Then the movie came on. A good screen on the stage loud audio. The movie busted half way through it but was fixed fairly fast. I am going to try and go more ofter especially if the weather is the same we had on this night which was just right. Only reason why it is getting 4 out of 5 is because $7.00 bucks for a beer. AHHHHH that is scarier than Sloth. It would cost me $50.00 just to get tipsy. I saw a few people tailgating and that might be an idea for next time. I love that you can bring your own food though. Can't wait to go again and do it right. Best bet for a good time for Under $15.00 bucks ticket. read more

This is a MUST visit for anyone visiting Denver! A short drive outside downtown but bring a picnic basket of wine, cheese, nuts and bread and comfy blanket and enjoy a truly romantic setting over looking the lights of Denver even if there's no music being played. The red colored rock, the formation of rocks and the dramatic setting make for a highly unique experience. Simply a spectacular venue for listening to music or just being with that special someone:-) read more
