More theaters need a rotation of classics. There's a whole subset of movies I'd love to see in theaters again and having to wait for some small theater half an hour away to show one of those for one weekend a year is a bummer.
Its funny because when I was young bargain theaters would play old stuff they could get cheap regularly. I think its tougher now that people can see something whenever they like.
Sorry, chief. Best we can do is a lousy remake instead. That's because the licensing rights for oldies are too hard to figure out so we can't be bothered, and all creativity in Hollywood died in 1999.
Nuh-uh. What about the matrix?
Shit. You're right.
Yeah. I've had people fight me tooth and nail repeatedly that the Matrix was a "2000s movie." I think this is another one of those Berenstain Bears things.
(Most likely people watched it on DVD in the year 2000, since for a while there The Matrix was the movie that sold DVD players.)
We have a local theater here that basically only runs classics, it's pretty great.
This is why I love my local theater, comparatively cheap tickets and the best prints for old classics running all the time.
Sometimes they also bring in the director, or someone else that was involved in the production to talk about the movie. Those are really fun.
