I just stumbled across this thread while doing a bit of research. I work for Quayside Cinema in Balbriggan (formerly New Savoy) and I just wanted to let people know that we have started doing classic movies from this week on and will be showing classics every day for the forseeable future as we had a screen that wasn't in use due to a broken projector.
This week we're showing E.T., The Goonies, Monsters Inc. & Dirty Dancing and we've yet to decide on next week's round of movies. We've posted an open poll on our Facebook page asking our customers what they want to see and we're trying to get as much feedback as possible from anyone who's interested. We're also considering doing movie seasons (comedy, action, actor specific, etc) and/or film clubs...we're open to suggestion!
Before a mod deletes my post, I just want to say that this is not an attempt at free advertising, I'm only posting as people on this thread seem genuinely interested in going to see classic movies and I just wanted to help out by providing some information for those situated in or around North County Dublin.
Anyway, this might be of some help to anyone interested and hopefully this thread continues as there is a severe shortage of classic screenings in Dublin at the moment!
Sounds brilliant
would love to go to it but just a question where is the cinema exactly?

30 seconds walk from the main st and 2 min walk from the train station. Use this cinema myself and its possibly the cleanest cinema ever. Cant wait to see a few classics

HoopD_poster_highres
On Saturday 6th August, I am putting on a free screening of a 1994 documentary film called Hoop Dreams. It will be screened at Exchange Dublin, Exchange St. Upper, Temple Bar at 7pm. http://exchangedublin.ie/about
I decided to put on this particular film because I think it is the best documentary film I have seen and not many people I know have seen it.
The film came about in the late 80's when a group of film makers went to an inner city basketball court in Chicago with the intention of making a half hour television programme about the kids playing the courts. Soon the camera crew realised that they had the potential of the makings of a documentary film by following the lives of two particular young basketball prodigies, William Gates and Arthur Agee. What resulted from that decision 6 years later, was 250 hours of film footage which was then edited down an almost 3 hour long documentary film which has won numerous awards and is widely considered one of the best documentary films ever made.
What makes it so good, like any good fictional film, is that all the elements have come together perfectly to produce something that is much greater than its parts. The most important element is the story. It is not just a story of two teenage boys battling against all the odds to reach their dreams, but a story about wider issues such as the sports industry, school system, family, race, and class. It also helps immensely that the characters are very likable and as the story unfolds, we the audience go through the ups and downs with them.
But what makes this documentary more powerful than if it were a fiction story is that the ending could go any way. There is no hand-of-Hollywood to manipulate the plot for maximum emotional impact. No, we get gritty, messy real life and all we can do is let go, relax and let the story lead us where it may.
