7:00PM GATES
​8:45PM SCREENING
Paramount’s beloved, subversive, anti-authoritarian 70’s Cult classic, produced and directed by Hollywood legends Robert Evans and Hal Ashby with soundtrack by Cat Stevens
Our favorite movie to screen at the cemetery explores existentialist questions with dark humor, off beat (taboo) romance, morbid sensibilities, and Flower Power.
Between staging his own elaborate suicides, hearse driving Harold (Bud Cort) encounters free-spirited octogenarian Maude (Ruth Gordon) during their shared hobby of funeral watching. Romance ensues when Maude steals Harold’s hearse and offers him a ride. What follows is a life affirming love story unlike any other in cinematic history as Maude teaches Harold how to find meaning in life as well as death.
Ranked number 45 on the American Film Institute’s list of 100 Funniest Movies of all Time, don’t miss the once-in-a-decade chance to see this on the Fairbanks Lawn below and among the stars.
Directed by Hal Ashby – 1971 – 91 minutes
You may bring blankets, pillows, low chairs, and picnics (including beer and wine – NO distilled spirits).
There will be food and beverage for purchase on site.

Presented with LA Pride
The stars align for a bejeweled LA Pride night of queer camp gold and silver screen goddesses! Glamour and l’amour bring special sparkle to Hollywood Forever Cemetery for the 70th Anniversary of the frothy romp with blonde ambition and brunette bawdiness. Show your love for queer icons Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell and the razzle dazzle that leaves the fellas frazzled.
They’re just two little girls from Little Rock with their minds on some money and new honeys on their minds. Marilyn Monroe is smarter than your average gold digger in a satire on how to get away with marriage. Can she use her blondage to temper the bondage of singledom? Meanwhile BFF Jane Russell is along for the joyride with an eye for passion over pocketbooks. When love goes wrong, Paris sounds right. Ain’t there anyone here for love?
BYO Tiara (Lady Beakman insists) and picnic with beer and wine, or let our bar help you vamp. Ramp up the raucousness with candy sweets and grilled treats from our concessions and food stands. Giggle and wiggle on the dance floor with lux DJ sets to make our Pride Celebration shine. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend in our free Photobooth, so bring the glamour.

ABOUT THE FILM
Warner Brother’s beloved, biographical 1997 film based on the life, career, and tragic death of Tejano superstar Selena Quintanilla-Pérez was written and directed by Gregory Nava and includes a soundtrack with some of the performer’s most iconic songs. This cult classic starred an unknown Jennifer Lopez as Selena, quickly catapulting her to her own pop-culture stardom.
The story follows Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, a young, beautiful, enormously gifted female, Mexican American singer as she navigates the male-dominated Tejano music scene. Its scenes capture her rise to fame, from the moment her father, Abraham Quintanilla (Edward James Olmos), discovers her unique voice as a child, to her early career struggles caught between two cultures. She goes from playing at swap meets with her brother and sister to selling out Houston’s Astrodome for one of her final performances.
Join us as we celebrate the enduring legend of Selena.
Directed by Gregory Nava – 1997 – 127 minutes

Bring your best friends and family for a twee picnic, or let our concessions stand and grill add extra flare to your night.

Fight for your right to party with sud brothers Brad Pitt and Edward Norton in David Fincher’s ballistic gut punch masterpiece.
Ikea idealism and Starbucks dreariness get hit by a wrecking ball when a buttoned-up insomniac meets the man who just might turn his life around. Brad Pitt is a hot and bothersome, picture perfect anarchist: hard on capitalism, but easy on the eyes. Bro code goes guerilla when new buddies become bank yankees — not to steal, but for a righteous paradigm shift. Add in Helena Bonham Carter as a deadpan darling who smokes a pack a minute, and the trouble hurts so good. But how long before bravado turns to unstoppable beast mode? I could tell ya, but you know rule number one of Fight Club.
Throw ‘em up for DJ sets that will get the revolution revved up. Grilled eats and concessions snacks will help you bulk up, or bag your own picnic. Our bar packs a punch with cold beers and a selection of wine. The clock’s ticking so hop into our free Photobooth for a slice of the action. (“Yes, sir.”)

It’s Christmas in July with Gizmo and co!
First they’re cute, then they’re carnivorous as mischief and mayhem reign the night. A salesman’s Christmas gift for his son ravages the town when he doesn’t heed the warning to keep from feeding the beast. Wreck the halls at Hollywood Forever Cemetery becomes a crazed Christmasy critter country. You won’t believe our Free Photobooth in honor of the adorable little monsters.

Stop the world and melt with a 40th Anniversary trip down SoCal memory lane
It’s a trippendicular tale as old as time: Valley Girl meets Hollywood boy, and love ensues despite being from opposite sides of the (sound)tracks. Sure, her friends have their misgivings (“like, gag me with a spoon”), but what can you do when you’re eaten by the monster of love? If she doesn’t shape up, she can kiss the bitchin’ val guys goodbye. With Nicolas Cage at his most fun-hinged, how can anyone say no to that triangle of chest-hair? Check out those pecs! They got a word for girls like her, you just gotta brush on your val-speak to get it. Enjoy the LA classic with a banger a minute that will transport you back in time when punk, new wave, and yacht pop rocked the same city. I’m so sure!
Our DJ dance party is more fun than a night at the Valley Sheraton. It’s the social event of the season, so invite your best dudes, dudettes, and mall-hopping mega-friends. Tubular eats from our concessions stand and grill will set the vibe. Grab those loud prints and chunky scrunchies for our Free Photobooth.

ABOUT THE EVENT
This Year the Hollywood Community-Police Advisory Board (CPAB) has organized a movie night in Hollywood Forever Cemetery, featuring an outdoor screening of Disney’s Animated Feature: “Coco.” The Hollywood community is invited to attend this FREE, family-friendly celebration. The event starts at 6:00 pm and the movie will be screened at 8:00 pm. There will live music by the Mariachi Arcoiris de Los Angeles, face painting, and freebies. Guests can enjoy tacos by Jorge or Chick-fil-A chicken sandwiches, El Capitan Theatre popcorn, ice cream, Hawaiian Ice and other treats served up by Hollywood LAPD Officers and community volunteers.
WHAT IS NATIONAL NIGHT OUT?
National Night Out is an annual community–building campaign that promotes police-community partnerships and neighborhood camaraderie. Across the country each year neighborhoods hold gatherings in on the first Tuesday of August, from small informal block parties to large organized events. Los Angeles is no exception, with a variety of activities planned around the city.
The Hollywood National Night Out event is designed to bring the community and the police together in a fun, positive, and relaxed atmosphere. It is a chance for residents, businesses and community groups to get together and make connections. Hollywood Forever Cemetery has a colorful history and many celebrity “residents.” Charlie Chaplin, Cecil B. DeMille, Douglas Fairbanks, Judy Garland, Mickey Rooney, Bugsy Siegel, and Rudolph Valentino are just some of the notable names from Hollywood’s golden era that are interred there. What could be more “Hollywood” than enjoying an outdoor movie night at Hollywood Forever Cemetery?
WHAT TO BRING?
Everyone is encouraged to bring their own blanket or low beach chairs to set up a spot on the Fairbanks lawn to watch the show.
WHERE TO PARK?
There will be NO PUBLIC parking on the cemetery grounds. You can park for FREE at the structure located at 900 N Van Ness. There is pedestrian access to the cemetery via the Van Ness gate.

Pack a picnic or let us provide so many delicious fixings, you’ll never wanna let go. Welcome to Hollywood!
