Movies you wish you could see in the theater?
Reply to Topic
I'd seen "The Exorcist" any number of times on TV/home video, but when I happened to finally catch it in a theater (original cut), I staggered out of the place feeling like I'd been clubbed with a 2x4. Awesome!
I was lucky enough to see "Star Wars", Dances With Wolves", "Apollo 13", and more movies than I can remember on the big screen. Special note on "Gravity": Sandra Bullock, in her underwear, on a big screen, in 3-D, has still got it! (But then, I've had it bad for her since "Speed".)

Back in the late 1980s, I saw two movies in re-release that I still think about. The first was An American in Paris, in a restored 1920s movie palace. The Technicolor print was unbelievably vivid -- I have had to live in the subdued hues of the real world ever since, much to my chagrin.
I saw Lawrence of Arabia in a theatre built in the 1950s to accommodate the new wide-screen format movies. The screen was incredibly wide, so much so that even if I looked away from the centre of the screen, all that I could see was David Lean's vision of the desert.
What one sees on HDTV is a pale shadow of how either of them is supposed to look.

I bring up this topic as my theater is screening taxi driver in 4k which of course is awesome and I was wondering what movies you dream of seeing in the theater?
I think it would be anything where there's a massive amount of detail that a small set doesn't support. I'd love to see The Adventures of Baron Munchausen on a big screen again too – it was spectacular at the time, really like an old epic.

Gladiator would've been pretty epic. Although Philosopher's Stone has returned to theaters plenty of times over the years, I never saw it back when it first came out. Titanic as well of course would've been a fantastic experience.
