Today I took my wife to see The King and I on a big screen, in a limited special 60th anniversary showing at selected theaters.
Q few months ago, I attended a big screen showing of Blazing Saddles, with commentary afterwards by Mel Brooks. A few weeks prior to that, I was a big screen showing of The Princess Bride, with commentary by Cary Elwes. Great movies deserve a big screen. I have no desire, however, to see Barry Lyndon, on a big screen, on TV or otherwise. Coming up soon is a big screen showing of Dr Strangelove. which I definitely want to see. The images of the B-52 flying low over the northern ice pack was a truly memorable cinematic experience, by itself worth seeing the movie again on a big screen.
