Who said government never did anything right for the people? Here's the remaining schedule of free movies playing this summer, courtesy of the city of Rochester and the county of Monroe.

Movies in the Bowl: Thursdays, starting at dark, at the Highland Park Bowl:

• July 16: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) (PG)
• July 23: A Christmas Story (1983) (PG)
• July 30: Hotel for Dogs (2009) (PG)
• August 6: The Goonies (1985) (PG)
• August 13: Kung Fu Panda (2008) (PG)

Movies at the Beach: Tuesdays, starting at dark, at Monroe County’s Ontario Beach Park:

• July 14: Iron Man (2008) (PG-13)
• July 21: Fred Claus (2007) (PG)

• August 4: The Dark Knight (2008) (PG-13)
• August 11: Quantum of Solace (2008) (PG-13)

Granted, they're not all gems. (Fred Claus? Yeesh.) But there are more keepers than losers, and they're free summertime experiences -- a perfectly reasonable use of our tax dollars at work.
