Help Tele Choose!

[Dementeleus]

Arclight Cinemas just sent me a survey asking which of these movies I'd like to see at an upcoming special Arclight screening.

 

I can't make up my mind, there are too many great choices! Which would you choose? (You can pick up to three.)

I hate you.

Picked three I'd wanna see on the big screen.

Ben-Hur and Saving Private Ryan, although Last Crusades is a close 3rd.  

 

With most of those movies, it makes no difference if you see it in the big screen or your 55" at home, but the action movies with the surround sound are going to be the most enjoyable.

Did you really even need to put Lawrence in the poll? 

 

I picked Chinatown (because Chinatown), Heat and Vertigo, but there's probably another 10 movies there I'd pay good money to see on the big screen.

[Empire]

My 3 picks were: Eternal Sunshine, Escape From New York, and Last Crusade. 

[AdamKendall]

I voted The Godfather, Heat & Terminator 2 ... but man, I'd love to see them all on the big screen (many for the first time)

[The Panda]

For in theaters id pay to see terminator 2 the most of those.

I actually wouldn't pick it, since it already plays a couple times a year at the Aero and Egyptian in 70mm.

Why is Bad Boys an option?

 

1. No Arab loves the desert. We love water and green trees. There is nothing in the desert and no man needs nothing.

 

2. I do what I do best, I take scores. You do what you do best, try to stop guys like me.

 

3. Yo homie, is that my briefcase?

One of my struggles is: do I vote for something I've never seen on the big screen before, or do I vote for a fond favorite that I haven't seen in theaters in years? If it's the former, watching on the big screen can be a unique and special experience (obviously LAWRENCE for me, but seeing THE GREAT ESCAPE in a full theater was wonderful too)... but revisiting LAST CRUSADE or T2 or HEAT (great, great movie experiences of my teens and early 20s) would be a great nostalgia hit too.

Blazing Saddles, Forrest Gump, and Vertigo are my choices.

[CaptainJackSparrow]

I don't like helping Tele.

Looking at the list again, never knew Con Air was considered a classic.

I wouldn't say "classic", but clearly they're targeting a number of popular mid-90s movies. Their screening choices are pretty wide-ranging.

[riczhang]

I'd pay to see all of them, lol, but I picked Vertigo, Midnight Cowboy and A Clockwork Orange. 

[rukaio101]

I'd be interested in seeing The Good, the Bad and the Ugly on the big screen. Especially those Mexican Standoffs.

[Cmasterclay]

Blazing Saddles and Terminator 2, two of my all time favorites (though a few others are on there, too)
