Films that are best in the cinema
Discussion
A mate is going to hire a small screen (65 seats) in a local arts cinema for his birthday and is looking for suggestions for a film to show.
I reckon something like Gladiator would be so much better on the big screen and so far it's near the top of his list. He's also considering Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, Black Hawk Down and The Shawshank Redemption.
Your suggestions please.

Pulp Fiction was brilliant at the cinema.
How about Top Gun or Days of Thunder? I'd love to have been old enough to have seen Top Gun in the cinema .... in a strictly 100% hetro way of course! The plane scenes would look and sound great.
What a brilliant idea by the way. That would be a great evening out for a bunch of mates to hire their own cinema and watch a film, then have a few beers afterwards. Any idea on cost, and whether they play films from a list, or you just bring along one of your DVDs to put in their projector?

Im not sure about films.. but at our local showcase cinema deluxe.. you can rent out a cinema room to play ps3/xbox games on.. me and a few mates always consider it but never get round to it.. worked out about £60/hour off-peak last time we checked. Cod4 on big screen... mmmmmmmmmmmHow about Top Gun or Days of Thunder? I'd love to have been old enough to have seen Top Gun in the cinema .... in a strictly 100% hetro way of course!

Star Wars.
The opening scene with the Star Destroyer entering from the top of the screen is such an iconic image and deserves to be seen as bigly as possible.

My eigth birthday, Dad says something about going out to get something and drags me along. Next thing I know, we're heading into a cinema (OOOHHHH! Never been to one of these before), sit there gawping at all the other kids and people and then Star Wars starts.
I sat there with my mouth open for the whole film in pure wonder and awe.
Instant convert to Jedism.

2nd film was Warlords of Atlantis
I would have loved to have been able to see the following films on the big screen:
Predator
Alien
Aliens
Terminator
Terminator 2: Judgement Day
Star Wars triology
So maybe something that you didnt watch on the big screen, but could now do so?
Although Shawshank is a truly great film and I can sit and what it when ever its on, I dont think it would carry anymore impact on the big screen.

Terminator
Terminator 2: Judgement Day

A year or so back there was a series of old classics being re-run at cinemas. I went to see Goldfinger - it was absolutely amazing and totally different from all the times I've seen it on telly.
I would advise picking something that you would not expect to ever be able to see again on the big screen. Always fancied seeing The Good The Bad and The Ugly, and the other spaghetti westerns and other oldies like North by Northwest.
Think of an iconic movie image, and there's your answer forming...
