Never seen this, it’s available, I’m consulting the DVDTalk brain trust.

YES.

I would go see any movie being projected in 70MM just because it's such a rarity in my parts, but if I lived in LA or something and it was more common I might be pickier.

Even if Streets Of Fire is bad, it sure doesn't look like it's boring.

I skipped Earthquake last night (probably a stupid idea) and a few other options. Last Action Hero, Spartacus, and Airport are still on the docket.

I talked to the projectionist and he said all the blow-ups will look like shit, such as Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (I already saw it on 35 mm).

Love Streets of Fire and its definitely eye candy, but I don't think blowing it up to 70mm will help at all.

It's a fun, kinda dumb, escapist type thing. Go in with low expectations and should be fine.

I miss those days when the 70mm option was more prevalent. You don't get the chances very often.

Last time I saw a film in 70MM was Backdraft.

Shit, I don't the chance to see anything in 35MM now.

If you have to ask you don’t deserve such a treat!

In also seriousness, yes, do it. And you should go see Spartacus as well.

Backdraft wouldn't been awesome in 70mm.

And it's true about 35mm. It's cheaper and easier to go digital for theaters.

Did not find out until much later that Diane was only 18 when she did this movie. Ellen Aim is supposed to be a singer in her mid to late 20s and she managed to do that.

Also, just as the movie poster says, this is a "rock and roll fantasy", so just roll with it as some stuff do not even make much sense.

I'd give anything to see that on the big screen again. Even better in Sensurround. My parents took me to see that when I was a kid for my birthday. At my request. They thought it was odd I wanted to see it. Scared the crap out of me. I ran to the lobby during the earthquake scene. Those speaking blew the roof off. Wasn't expecting that.

Definitely worth seeing in 70 MM for all of the large and practical production design. It's the kind of stuff you only see in Baz Lurhman movies these days. That said, yeah, it can be cheesy, but that's part of the fun.

Plus if you're a Diane Lane fan, I think she's like 19 when she made this.

18 when made, 19 when released. Hard to find a more precious treasure.

L.A. Confidential in 35 mm is also part of this, which the projectionist says I shouldn’t miss.

The 70 mm print for Spartacus is new, so that should look great.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think anyone who saw L.A. Confidential theatrically saw it in 35. Not that it wouldn't be worth revisiting, I'm pretty sure I would, but it's something I've already experienced twice in my life.

That’s correct. Amid the 70 mm, they’re showing other features that are normally 35 mm, such as Gladiator, all of which are most likely contemporary prints.
