It would be weird movies all the time, the movies that don't run on cable and that you can't find in the video stores. I would run a lot of 70's horror (because it's the best). A certain number of comedies, maybe some Peter Bogdanovich. Some Jacques Tati, because I enjoyed watching his stuff at revival theatres in the 80's. "Dawn of the Dead" would be shown only once, at a midnight show, for purposes of opening the place.
No, wait: A double bill of Jacques Tati's "Traffic" and Romero's "Dawn of the Dead." Can you see it? All those idiot film students crowding in there with their upscale chocolate bars and their Starbucks cups? Oh yeah, and there would be NO Starbucks stuff for sale inside the theatre, or within five miles of the theatre. We would only have GOOD coffee. If you want Starbucks, you have to bring it in, and since it's at least five miles away, it'll be cold! That'll teach 'em.
My ideal movie house would be kinda snooty! Cats would live in the back alleys, looking for crunchy popcorn in the dumpster. They would constantly be trying to get into the theatre, where it is warm.
