Classic Film Series:

A series of classic film titles will be screened in a digital format from September 2010 – August 2011. I got to see The Maltese Falcon on a giant screen for $5. It had been years since I’d seen it in school and I barely remember a thing about it. When the film started and Humphrey Bogart filled the screen I was amazed how well the film had been restored and converted to a Digitally projected HD format. What stood out the most for me was how smart and funny the dialogue was.

You always have a very smooth explanation...

What do you want me to do, learn to stutter?


Of course some things were dated but the film is seventy years old and it’s amazing how much of it still holds up. This series of classic film titles will be screened until August 2011. Doctor Zhivago (1965), The Wizard Of Oz (1939), One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest (1975), The Sound of Music (1965), Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) and Spartacus (1960). All on the big screen for $5. I’ll see you in line.
