Just one screening at the David Lean Cinema at the Croydon Clocktower Croydon England 8th September at 19:30 part of the Scalarama Festival. Tickets available here: web page The print looks good, unlike the last time I saw it.  |  IP: Logged Mark Campbell Expert Film Handler Posts: 148 From: Seattle, WA USA Registered: Jul 2007 posted 09-01-2015 06:44 PM                     Though not all of the titles falling under "classic" the Cinerama in Seattle is about to run its "Fan Film Series". (rather than show end of the summer dredge!) Titles include: No Country for Old Men Vertigo (has played here in 70mm) The Big Lebowski Forrest Gump Citizen Kane Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Inception The Wizard of Oz The Sound of Music The Godfather Spirited Away American Graffiti Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Zombieland Mad Max (1979) Ghostbusters The Blues Brothers Almost Famous On the Waterfront Last of the Mohicans (has played here in 70mm) Pulp Fiction Donnie Darko Moulin Rouge! Raiders of the Lost Ark Monty Python and the Holy Grail My Neighbor Tortoro Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan Fight Club Casablanca Top Gun (has played here in 70mm) Blade Runner: The Final Cut (original has played here in 70mm) Die Hard Sunset Blvd Lawrence of Arabia (has played here in 70mm) Chinatown Taxi Driver Labyrinth The Shawshank Redemption Rear Window Big trouble in Little China The Sting Blue Velvet The Hunt for Red October (has played here in 70mm) Akira All titles listed as Laser Projection. I recently caught a screening of Jaws here with the new projection system and the presentation was stunning. If all these other titles have the same level of presentation then audiences are in for a great experience. That show was one night only and sold out. I hope trend continues. To see a classic presented flawlessly on a giant screen with a full audience is an experience like no other. When Roy Scheider takes his final shot at the shark the audience (not just the shark) exploded!  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 09-01-2015 07:26 PM                        That is an amazing line-up. Every city should have a theater like the Cinerama. quote: Mark Campbell Though not all of the titles falling under "classic" A classic is any movie worth seeing on the big screen again after its original release.  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 01-18-2019 06:09 PM                 It has been 1234 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 01-18-2019 06:09 PM                        Harkins Theaters will be showing Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom in their big "Cine Capri" and "Cine 1" auditoriums on Tuesday, February 26... thanks in part to me. I tweeted them and emailed their Guest Services requesting they play it on those premium screens, which are ~70' wide. I argued that fans can see these films at home on decent-sized home theaters any time they want, but by showing Indy on truly giant screens, they will give people a reason to leave home. I also mentioned that I have attended several of their previous Tuesday Night Classics and the Cine Capri always had a smaller crowd than the TNC films, despite the current release showing there (I peeked). I hope it does well and they do this more often. I intend to "Andy Dufresne" them and pester them twice as much now. If you live in Denver, SoCal, AZ, OKC or DFW, go see the second best Indiana Jones film on the big screen!  |  IP: Logged Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 01-19-2019 01:53 PM                        Blu-ray, DCP, 35mm or 70mm?  |  IP: Logged Geoff Jones Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 579 From: Broomfield, CO, USA Registered: Feb 2006 posted 01-20-2019 08:28 AM                        quote: Martin Brooks Blu-ray, DCP, 35mm or 70mm? My understanding is that the Cine-Capri is not equipped for film. I assume they will use a DCP and not the Blu-ray. Is there any way I can tell for sure while watching? I wish they were showing a pristine 70MM or even 35mm print, but I'm happy to see it on the big screen, regardless. I'll definitely post my thoughts after I see it.  |  IP: Logged
