great selection! but a lot of 4pm showings I will have to somehow manage to see - the lack of evening shows is perplexing (sans 2001 and Tron)

Why 'Porgy and Bess' is only Labor Day Sunday and Monday, but not a third Tuesday screening screws up my weekend - same thing happened with 'Patton' being on Sunday and Monday of Memorial Day

When "Tron:Legacy" came out, I went back to 're-watch' the original "Tron". I realized I actually never saw the original. So, I am marking that date on my calendar and I am going to see it at the AFI.

please make them 7pm screenings! (bump whatever is playing on screen 1 over to screen 2 or 3 and screw 'em)

I find now that indeed I can make it to this. I will be there.

What're the age of these prints? Obviously several of the titles have enjoyed recent restorations or reprints, but there are some there that must surely be original prints?
