Movies

I have been lucky enough to see a lot of classic films in a theater since I studied film history in school. Thank goodness for letterbox

Posted by: Catzan on Oct 08, 22:42 in response to RupertPupkin's post That's partly my point, though. A lot of people...

because pan and scan was horrible. I agree more with Movie Cub about the issue being theatrical films being streamed. Netflix should just become a studio and release films like studios do...and you know what...they could give all their subscribers a discount to see their flick in the theater so they would make the subscription plus 50% of a movie ticket...there are so many angles they could use to make them an even bigger entertainment mover and shaker...but what do I know...probably crazy...

Hmm. So: this TV movie Knives Out Take the Money and Run will play for a week in some AMC's. Not much of a TV movie guy. goodvibe61 Oct 08, 12:57

Out of curiosity, where did you first see Seven Samurai, Third Man, Casablanca, and Snow White? In a theater or at home? {nm} RupertPupkin Oct 08, 14:28

How old do you think he is? :) {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 08, 14:42

That's partly my point, though. A lot of people experience "classic" movies for the first time at home. {nm} RupertPupkin Oct 08, 14:49

Plus he's a lot of fun at parties {nm} Moviesnob Oct 08, 15:32

This is turning into one of the strangest threads in Movies board history... {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Oct 08, 16:17

DUNE was a TV movie. I wish I could've seen it in a theater. {nm} Rishoutfield Oct 08, 17:56

Neither DUNE or GLASS ONION are TV movies and even if they were, thats fine too there are TONS of great TV movies Moviesnob Oct 08, 19:16

Name 20 :) {nm} The Weekend Warrior Oct 08, 20:42

Easy. Just the top 20 movies I own (filtered my plex to TV movies): Moviesnob Oct 08, 21:09

Is that Duel? With Dennis Weaver? Great movie? I saw that on TV...probably turned me in to the John Simon of film critics being subjected to Catzan Oct 08, 22:47

oops yeah. have Riley's movie on the brain since I work for its production company {nm} Moviesnob Oct 08, 23:03

The history of this board goes back 25+ years. This isn't even close to strange. {nm} JHFHockey Oct 08, 19:31

You're right; I am. {nm} goodvibe61 Oct 09, 10:51

Films need to be exploited in three windows in maximize their value. There's no debating that Moviesnob Oct 08, 23:01

Great question, and i think you know the answer. Every one of them, In the theater. And for each of those... goodvibe61 Oct 09, 10:47

Also, second time i saw Snow White? A theater inside Disneyland. A very cool experience. goodvibe61 Oct 09, 10:50

Let's see; the first I saw....Godfather. Chinatown. Touch of Evil. Citizen Kane. 8 1/2. Persona. Pulp Fiction. Amelie. goodvibe61 Oct 09, 10:54

Just about every great film since I could drive, living in SoCal? In a Theater. It's L.A. man, there were LOTS of theaters... goodvibe61 Oct 09, 11:58
