If you had a chance...

iMax

...to see a favorite movie in the cinema again, what would it be ?

Big Knox

The Shawshank Redemption.

ANDY: Think you'll ever get out of here?

RED: Sure. When I got a long white beard and about three marbles left rolling around upstairs.

ANDY: Tell you where I'd go. Zihuatanejo.

RED: Zihuatanejo?

ANDY: Mexico. Little place right on the Pacific. You know what the Mexicans say about the Pacific? They say it has no memory. That's where I'd like to finish out my life, Red. A warm place with no memory. Open a little hotel right on the beach. Buy some worthless old boat and fix it up like new. Take my guests out charter fishing.


Never got the chance to see it in the cinema.

Setun

The Apartment. A classic

chin_grin

The Back to the Future trilogy, followed by the Indiana Jones Trilogy. In 3D.

+1 Pretty much is the defining 'why you go to the cinema' movie for me.

Holsten

The Matrix.

Never saw it in the cinema.

Hard Larry

Lord of the Rings trilogy Special Extended Editions.

My mate saw these over a weekend in a cinema in Australia last year.

Would love to see the extened editions get a run on the big screen like that over here.

I couldn't care less if people thought it was a bad adaptation...they were made for big screens and rocked when they were released in the cinema.

+1 for Jurassic Park too. And maybe Jaws 3D.

Craft25

Solaris.. the original russian one

ronnie3585

Die Hard or Das Boot.

If I could take one back; definately The Spirit.

longshanks

i'd like to see the start of bullitt, just when the credits are rolling. that jazzy soundtrack bit (ford nicked it for the puma? ad)
apart from that i'd love to see sci fi films, 2001, the matrix, jurassic park, alien/s, films that were invented for massive screens, you know the type.
and westerns, some of them look amazing on tha big screen, all the panoramic shots and whatnot.
and porn obviously

MagicMarker

yeah the bit where they blow the shit out of the jungle. i'd probably come

johnny_ultimate

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Because it would be so damn postmodern it would blow minds.

the_syco

Young Frankenstein. Gene Wilder was great in it.

Zwillinge

Speed Racer

I know most people didn't get it, hated it, thought it was awful.

I was sitting in the middle of the cinema, empty bar one other guy who left half way through. I was completely mesmerized. The colours, the swirls, the well, the speed!!

I was quite impressed!

BopNiblets

Most of my favs, but Heat comes immediately to mind.

I wouldn't care if the shootout left my ears bleeding and my bones shaking.

was lucky enough to see it in the cinema just on the off chance and it was quite surreal.

for me it would have to be "Saving Private Ryan". iwouldn't be able to hear for a month after but it would be worth it.

Whiplash

The Crow

Another vote for 'Jurassic Park' - remember seeing it in the cinema with a girlfriend and just being blown again....

.. film wasn't bad either!

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... I kid, I kid!

Photi

Star Wars.

The original one. No remakes, no prequels, no added effects.

And I want to be 13 again when I watch it.

K4t

LOTR ROTK.

Shrek (if it was my first time watching it again)

No Country For Old Men (just for the scene in the shop and the scene with Woody Harrelson in the hotel) both cinematic classics.

+1 on the lord of the rings extended. Would be so cool.

Braveheart. Have always regretted never seeing this in the cinema

monkeyfudge

I'm surprised so many people are picking films that they would have already had the opportunity to see in the cinema.

For me... Planet of the Apes would be awesome.

'Intermission' because every time I tried to go see it in Blanch upon its release it was sold out. In the end I just got fed up and waited for it to come out on DVD.

The first 'Die Hard' would have been quality as well.

I was lucky enough to see this in the cinema with my brothers, without knowing anything about it. Hadn't even heard of it.

Not the same premise as the thread, but I would like to somehow re-live that experience: seeing The Matrix, on the big screen, not knowing anything.

Blue850

The original Italian Job, did see it on the big screen in the Town Hall theatre in Galway a few years ago.
Das Boot
Smokey and the Bandit

Pigman II

Agreed. I also went into The Matrix cold on opening night and there was a feeling of electricity in the cinema that night that I have never felt before or since.

Das Kitty

It used to be Bladerunner, but I fulfilled that dream in NY a year ago.

So now I guess it's ET. It's always been something that used to be on TV when I was a kid. I have it now on DVD but it's not the same without some gimp kicking your seat

Actually, the other half got a massive TV yesterday so it would be like sitting at the back of a cinema size wise.

This has given me an idea.

Wasn't it re-released in the cinema only a few years ago... although it was a 'digital improved' version and they took all the guns and replaced the with walkie talkies... references to terrorists were also removed I believe.

Das Kitty

Missed that!

Cactus Col

Aliens

and

Star Wars.

Maybe Terminator 2 ... didn't see that til it was out on vidjo.

Endaaaagh

The original 6 Star Trek Movies..especially number 2.
KHAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNN.....

norrie rugger

All Original Star Treks
Star Wars 1-3 (actual 1-3 not the crappy prequels)

and Serenity

I'm surprised that I've seen most of them in the cinema, I must be a lot older than most people in this thread.

That yor thing looks like a ben stiller movie

Valmont

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, 2001: A Space Odyssey, Lost in Translation, Brick , True Romance, and Deathproof *ducks*. Would love to have seen these movies in the cinema.

johnny_ultimate

Well OP did say film you'd see again in the cinema...
But if it was for the first time, I'd love to see 2001 in a cinema, and just get overwhelmed by it. Always heard it is one film that truly benefits from being seen in theatres.

Mr. Frost

Gotta be Predator!

Seen T2, BTTF's 1-3 and Indy 3 but Predator, oh and Die Hard would be awesome, especially back then going in and not really knowing a whole lot about the movie.

DirkVoodoo

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or maybe Terminator 2.

I still remember seeing TMNT in the savoy and as a young child seeing your cartoon idols come to life in such gritty fashion was awesome. Also, I was too young too see terminator 2 in the cinema so that is a situation I would like to rectify.

c - 13

I would have to say the exorcist (when it was originally released), Nightmare on Elm Street Part 1 (again at release) or Alien (again at release).

If I couldnt go back to release time to see it then i'd settle for Jaws or Jurrassic Park (again)

Peyton Manning

Sunshine.

Would love to have seen the ending sequence

"Capa's Jump"

on the big screen.

im_invisible

Tron, that'd be cool

iMax

So if these were on again, how much would you pay in, obviously not the regular €9.50 or whatever it is for a new flick.

If I could see "Back to the future" or "Star Wars (ANH)" or "The Breakfast Club" or any of my other favorites again on the big screen, I reckon I'd go as far as €7.50. Maybe €8. What's your cut off point for a once in a lifetime chance to see it again ?
