In the Historic Silver Theatre!

This is one of those films, like Playtime, The Wild Bunch, and 2001, that must be seen in 70mm. I think McCabe and Mrs. Miller was shot in 70mm; that would be wondrous to see.

Yeah between LoA, Evil Dead 2 and Godfathers being played, I'm going to be spending a lot of time in Silver Spring this summer.

Giles

oh yeah that too...

here's the link to those movies. Gonna check out Porky's since I've never seen it.

imdb doesnt denote 'McCabe' was filmed in 70mm but of course imdb aren't always 100% accurate either.

I think I remember reading that it was in David Cook's A History of Narrative Film, but I might be mistaken.

Great! I've been meaning to check out a flick there since I moved to N. Virginia 6 months ago. This will be ideal.

Also, my heart skipped a beat when I saw that they will be showing BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE CHINA in August! Watching that and then The Big Lebowski back to back on 8/18 is just about the best double feature I could hope for.
