HDC Movie Theatre

[fortunato]

This is a redo of a fun thread started by Yellow Jacket quite some time ago. It didn't end up getting many replies, so I figured I'd try and give it another go.

The idea is this:
If you had your own theatre with 5 screens, what films would you play? They can be from any period, any genre, any anything. Just 5 films you would play in your theatre, films you'd love to see on the big screen.

Fortunato Theatre

Screen 1: Stalker (1979)

Screen 2: The Silence (1963)

Screen 3: I Drink Your Blood (1970)

Screen 4: The Passion of Joan of Arc (1928)

Screen 5: Apocalypse Now (1979)

Isn't this the same as asking whats your favorite movies?

I didn't view it that way although it's close to what I picked. Matrix probably isn't quite in my top 5, but I'd like to have it on hand to watch on the big screen whenever I choose.

No, no.
This is asking what movies you would love to see on the big screen, and what you'd love to have others see on the big screen as well.

Geddy Theater

1. The Seventh Seal (1957).
2. The Deer Hunter (1978).
3. Taxi Driver (1976).
4. Eraserhead (1977).
5. Seven Samurai (1954).

1. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
2. Gladiator
3. Alien
4. House of Flying Daggers
5. A Bridge Too Far

I never saw these films on the big screen but believe they have the cinematography and scope to do justice to a large screen. Most films dont.

[Doc Faustus]

1.Vampyr
2.Faust
3.Eraserhead
4.Gojira
5.Forbidden Planet

Forbidden Planet is an excellent pick

I can't imagine how that would look in a theater. I hope at some point to see some of those sci fi classics on a big screen. The Blob and Invaders from Mars come in close sixth and seventh.
