So far this year we have seen Gone with the Wind, Lawrence of Arabia, and Rear Window (last night). I've seen both GWTW and LOA many times as they are two of my top movies, but Rear Window only once in the past. It was a nice distraction from life and the world 🌎 to revisit it. Unfortunately, we were unable to attend the Close Encounters reshowing in July.
I am so hoping Jaws will be rereleased next year for it's 50th anniversary.
Oh, and for Mel Brooks fans, Blazing Saddles will be showing September 15 and 18. I hope no censorship. That would be a crime.
Oh and other old movies I have seen on the bigscreen in the not so recent past that were rereleased are 2001 and Alien.
I’m still hopin’ for the American favorite, “Song of the South” from my childhood. I loved Uncle Remus. Zippidy Doo Dah!
retreating to the old movies and tv shows is the way to go. Best way possible to say the producers of the modern day shat, they we aren’t interested in your PC, woke, minority heavy creations.
I am waiting for Godfather 2 to come back. I saw Godfather for the first time on the big screen for the 25th anniversary rerelease in 1997. It made a difference. Coppola knows how to film for a theatre.
Saw ‘rear window’ last night. You know the whole movie is from his apartment right? In the theater you feel like you’re in there. Her clothes alone make it a great watch. Edith Hrad costume designer. Great score. Delightful
Fathom shows operas as well -missed Turandot. Saw some of Porgy and Bess.
All I watch are classic films. TCM is mostly great.
Thanks so much! I had no idea, but I don’t get out much :)
I’d like to think I’ll actually go see some of these :D
Behind the Green Door and Deep Throat are classics!
Crap. I was just looking at the movies they re-released from last year and I missed two of my favorites...Rain Man and American Graffiti. Poop.
Sometimes you just have to search the net and they pop up, if you know what you are looking for and frame your searches well.

If you haven’t seen them already, I’d encourage you to watch the 1962 movie “Advise and Consent” as well as the 1945 “The Lost Weekend”.
BTTT
Blazing Saddles, a trashy movie about eating beans and fartng.
The Best Years of Our Lives: a classic.
2 weeks ago I saw the silent Phantom of the Opera with a live Wurlitzer player and the next day Casablanca of the big IMAX screen. Thanks for the link.
I see they have The Magic Flute. That comes up in Better Call Saul when Jimmy McGill is in a dumpster looking for evidence and opposing counsel calls him. When asked why he is whispering, Jimmy says he is at the opera seeing The Magic Flute.

Rear Window I will watch anytime, anyplace.
The 1930 movie version of All Quiet on the Western Front is a masterpiece in itself, complimentary to Remarque's even greater masterpiece.
North by Northwest is my all time favorite.
I also love to watch My Man Godfrey every chance I can.
‘Cool Hand Luke’ if you want to know how to live, ‘The Lives of Others’ to learn how East Germans lived, ‘Babette’s Feast’ for thoughts on food and people.
