These are the films that I grew up watching, all the great 50s sci fi, creature features and hammer horrors. You might need a theatre with twenty screens!

Screen 1. Taxi Driver
Screen 2. Beyond the valley of the dolls
Screen 3. A Clockwork Orange
Screen 4. The Boys
Screen 5. Dead Man.


And in the Horror Cinema

Screen 1. Last HOuse on Dead end Street
Screen 2. Friday the 13th pt 4, the Final Chapter
Screen 3. Night of the Living Dead
Screen 4. Frankenstein
Screen 5. The Texas Chainsaw Massacre


Those lists are what I came up with after presureing myself to think for 5 minutes.. there are probably some movies I might swap given more time.

Ah, I had the chance to see this at a theatre in Chicago, but I missed it. A bunch of my friends went and said it was a great time.

I think i'd do something like
1. The Good The Bad and The Ugly
2. Eraserhead
3. Toxic Avenger
4. The Evil Dead
5. Zombie Doom

most of which are my favorite movies, but Toxic Avenger and Zombie Doom are just ones i think would be a blast to see in the theaters.

1 - Night of the Living Dead
2 - The Wrestler
3 - Metropolis
4 - The Wizard of Oz
5 - Taken

Hopefully that would be a good start and with Taken and The Wrestler showing I should be able to draw enough of an audience to keep the little theater open.

So it all about the money for you... Is that why you have to movies from the past year or are there other reasons.............

Ah, nice idea Des. That's quite economic.

Some of it would have to be about money, you can't run a theater on 17 people watching some great cult flicks can you? The recent picks however were both moneymaking AND films I'm quite interested in, not just a couple quick blockbusters (obviously).

I think I'd have more than 17 people showing up to my screenings... though the two cinemas I go to mostly in Glasgow are quite small and never have I seen more than 30 people in one theatre , normally less than that, hell they don't hold much more than that.
