Interstellar in 15 perf 70 mm IMAX. I saw it once. Would love to see it again sometime. Maybe be able to bring my daughter. That film has no impact on a small screen. But blown up big and SO loud. It was amazing.

I was a big follower of movie revivals until all the theaters went digital on us. Now I kind of pick and choose since I know I'm pretty much seeing the same digital version I have at home (especially since I now have a 4K TV and 4K player).
Sadly, there are no longer any theaters in my area that show 35mm or 70mm prints of anything. So I guess my answer is nothing.

Jaws would be my first answer (I wasn't born yet when it was originally released so that my be disqualified in this thread.
And laugh of you must but seeing Independence Day on opening night is probably my favorite movie going experience ever. I'd love to recapture that feeling someday. Though I imagine that has more to do with the audience than the movie itself.

Absolutely none on a top-masked or letterboxed screen at most current theaters. Absolutely every movie ever made if seen at the theater pictured to the left!

Iron Giant. Eff their $30 ticket prices when they re-released it last year.
Yeah, years ago(pre-Blu-ray) I went to see Braveheart during one of those Summer Classics deals. Ten minutes in it was easy to tell they were just showing the DVD with the 'off' color palatte. That was disappointing.

John Woo's HARD-BOILED.
Hayao Miyazaki's MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO. (I saw it twice on the big screen in the 1990s; the second time, at the Museum of Modern Art, it was introduced by Miyazaki himself.)

Keep an eye out. I don't know an anymore revived film than 2001. There's always a showing going on somewhere. I'm sure it'll come to NM sometime.
Die Hard Movies(#3 if I had to pick)
Lethal Weapon Movies (#2 if I had to pick)
Akira (I feel like this one makes rounds already?)
We had an arthouse theater in Phoenix (Madstone) that only lasted a few years. I loved going to their Sunday revival showings. They got ahold of the best prints (no digital projector stuff like Fandango).

I agree. I made it a point to see movies at the domes when when they were playing. Especially at the 21 in San Jose.

I was 9 in the summer of '77 and saw Star Wars on the big screen. I would have to think that if any movie had a similar impact on young viewers in the 50's it was Forbidden Planet.

I still want to see Jaws and Raiders on big screen. I was too young when they came out.

Lawrence of Arabia and Braveheart are the first two movies that come to mind.

I first saw The Iron Giant on a small top-masked screen. Wasn't thrilled at all. The movie still grew on me after buying the DVD.

I'd see Avatar in 3D again. Simply best 3D experience I ever had. Would also love to see the action classics: Die Hard, Raiders, definitely Jaws. Aliens.

I'd love to see Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen again and see Blues Brothers on the big screen ever.
