"Field of Dreams" will be shown at the Dyersville, Iowa, baseball field surrounded by cornstalks. "Jaws" will be played at Martha's Vineyard, Mass., and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" will get a screening by the Cedar Lane Water Tower in Northbrook, Ill.

The "Netflix Rolling Roadshow" is a coast-to-coast promotional tour beginning Aug. 2 at Coney Island in New York, where the 1979 gang film "The Warriors" will be shown. Dates for the various screenings range throughout the month.

Other stops include Stanley Kubrick's "The Shining" at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colo., and the classic Western "The Searchers" at Gouldings Lodge in Monument Valley, Utah.

Director
Kevin Smith and cast members are expected to be on hand for a screening of "Clerks" at the Quick Stop in Leonardo, N.J. Other screenings will include activities related to the films, like raft floating in the ocean during "Jaws."

Also to be screened on location is the Coen brothers' "Raising Arizona" at the Lost Dutchman State Park in Apache Junction, Ariz., "The Poseidon Adventure" on the H.M.S. Queen Mary in Long Beach, Calif., and
Clint Eastwood's "Escape From Alcatraz" on Alcatraz Island in San Francisco.



Sounds like an awesome idea to me!

Awesome, I'd go see Raising Arizona even though it's in AJ. AJ is a hole.

Oh man, this is a cool idea. If there is something at all close to me, I am going to try to check it out.

They just owned Blockbuster Online's ass with that cool marketing move!

They gotta add The Blues Brothers and play it at either Grant Park or Daley Plaza in Chicago.

I would LOVEEEEEEE to see either Field of Dreams or The Shining. I must get more information on this.

Field of Dreams is being screened only 6 hours from me. I might have to make a run for that one.

How about Dawn of the Dead (78') in Monroeville Mall?

Is there a website I can go to for more info? I can't find anything at netflix's site.
