Has there ever been an older movie you wished you could've seen in theaters?

I was born in 1988, but there were some movies I often wondered what it would've been like to just for that first time theatrical experience.

Original Star Wars Trilogy

Aliens

Terminator 2

You guys?

Pulp Fiction would be an outstanding movie to see in the cinema.

The Thing.

I missed the Jaws anniversary showings at my cinema the other month, I was gutted.

Haha yes was good - was proper bonged out of my shi!tter when I saw that :P

Jurassic Park. Seen it on vhs before it got released in theater in my country. Can't wait to see it in 3D next year in the theater. :D

None that I can think of. I saw the original Star wars trilogy, The Exorcist, Evil Dead, Close Encounters of the third kind, and just about everything worth seeing in the theaters.

I've already seen a lot of older films that I wanted to see in theaters:

Taxi Driver
A Clockwork Orange
Lawrence of Arabia
Metropolis
Citizen Kane
The Thing
The Lady Vanishes
Casablanca
Spirited Away - Not an old film, but I caught it at a Studio Ghibli retrospective

I really want to see 2001 on the big screen.

The original Star Wars trilogy and maybe minority report.

I've seen quite a few old ones but there's so many I want to see. The main ones I've yet to see are Raiders of the Lost Ark and *wait for it* Casino Royale (though that will change on the 30th).

"My Man Godfrey" (1936)

It makes me laugh to see what others have posted, and realize that I saw ALL of those films in their original theater run... So old, I fart DUST...

:oops:

We actually have a local theater chain that plays older movies once a month. They've done Ghostbusters, the Indiana Jones trilogy, and others. They just shown The Breakfast Club earlier this month.

I would really like to catch a Polyvision theatre presentation of Abel Gance's Napoleon some day.

Probably the first Harry Potter. I was lucky enough to have at least watched the re-mastered star wars movies in the theater. But I might have seen it before I saw it at the movie theater, I'm not sure.

Here in the Baltimore area, they have an older theather (The Senator) that plays older movies. Granted, it doesn't have all the great sound effects and what not, but whatever. I got to see The Godfather there (which was my first time seeing it) as well as It's A Wonderful Life.

I dunno. I saw Terminator 2 in the theater when I was 7. First R rated movie I saw on the big screen. It was awesome.

Move to a city with a retro theater.

Watch these movies

No regrets.

I just watched the dark crystal and Labrynth

I'll have to add A Clockwork Orange to my list as well, can't believe I missed it.

Star Wars, The Thing, Evil Dead. I sometimes think it would be nice to have seen those in the theater, but then I remember what going to the theater is actually like. Canvas_Of_Flesh

I mean being around when these movies were newly released.

Rocky Horror Picture Show. If you don't see that in a theater you're doing it wrong.

A question to those who were fortunate enough to see such movies for the first time in theaters, can you share the experience before, during and after?

Pulp Fiction would be an outstanding movie to see in the cinema.

I also forgot to mention Al Pacino's Scarface and Blade Runner.

Yes, the Big Lebowski. Definitely the Big Lebowski. Evolvington

Bladerunner , I have it on Blu Ray which is nice, but I kinda wished I could have seen it at the cinema.

same with the Terminator, and maybe Star Wars Empire Strikes Back.

The original King Kong. The special effects still look good today, but I wonder what it would have been like watching that movie back in the 30's.

The Wizard of Oz also.

Star Wars...nothing like it at the time and was a huge hit.KC_Hokie

Yeah it was pretty sweet...the first film I watched in the theatre multiple times.

Blair Witch Project when people thought it was real

Original Star Wars movies

2001: A Space Oddysey.

Aliens, The Godfather, Pulp Fiction.
