Possible Charity Event Xmas 2008

TheBoffin

Hi,

I am exploring the possibilities of organising a film event for charity in December 2008 in Waterford

The idea is to show a film on the big screen and take in money on tickets. The ticket price will be as much as you would like to donate to the cause and no less than €10. The venue (TBC) will be sponsored and all ticket intakes will go to charity (TBC)

Does anyone have any suggestions about the film or film's that you believe would take in the biggest crowd?

Suggestions I have been given so far include:

Star Wars Trilogy
Lord Of The Rings
Home Alone 1 & 2
Batman Movies To Date


Thanks

A great idea... I'd be up for it.

Possible movie suggestion:

Godfather (all 3)

There would be a lot involved in organising it though - you should talk to the lads from waterfordfilmforall(.com) they'll be able to advise you about what'sinvolved in getting reels and licences.

*fingers crossed* it works out for you.

Any ideas on which Charity? The Solas Centre has to be a front runner.

Its going to be very hard for you to pick a set of films that would appeal to all sorts of fans. Most of the ones you suggest appeal to certain fan bases but not others.

Some more fan - neutral ones might be -
Indiana Jones
Rocky Series (Who wouldn't want to see rocky onthe big screen :pac:)

ROCKMAN

Good Idea,
You could also check out Waterford Youth Art, Their film group often make short films (Award Winning Films ) You may be able to screen one or two of these before your main event, Give the event a local touch.

As al lot of the suggestions seem to be going for trilogies I think it would be a shame if no one mentioned Back To The Future.

A Band of Brothers Marathon!!

Wouldnt it be fantastic to be able to go to the cinema to watch older films like the ones mentioned above. If the cinemas had a voting/polling system on their website, people could suggest / vote for the film they'd like to see.

Great idea though. Fair play!

I'd go with back to the future it's a lot more family friendly and they are great movies.....Try for the auditorium in WIT they have films in there during the year

Sully

Would it be possible to use Storm Cinemas? They allow people to book out a room..

Given the time of year you are planning this for maybe some of the Christmas classics might be an idea.

Other options could be
Pirates of the Carribbean 1 - 3
Harry Potter 1 - 99 lol
Shrek 1&2

Or you could do a Tarrantino double/treble/quad bill
