Classic Movies @ The Cinema | Times & Dates

OutlawPete · 2009-10-31 05:46:30

Over the past while there has been quite a few threads on Classic movies. Classic Films Returning To Cineworld Any cinema showing classic films? Some classic movies back in cinemas!! Universal Movie Screenings! Eventually, each thread seems to subside and I think it's because each thread focuses on Classics from one angle…

Any chances of the original Indiana Jones trilogy being shown anywhere?

Would love to see these on the big screen...have been a big fan since I was a kid!

Its not long since they were played in the UCI chain and I think the Screen dabbled too.

On another note.. Batman Returns was brilliant!

Die Hard in 70MM was so much fun the other day. Epic sound and picture.

Possibly my favorite cinema experience ever. Been waiting ages to see Die Hard on the big screen. Think I might have a little hearing damage now from the awesome sound!

Akira was shown at the Horrorthon too... would be nice to see some other anime get a look in, although I know Gareth Evans programmed it this time around.

I was terribly ill during the horrorthon last year (despite buying about half a dozen tickets for it) so at least I'll finally get a chance to see Akira in a cinema.

Anyone know what kind of formats the Lighthouse tend to show classic films in actually?

Original prints where possible but if prints can't be provided by the distributors, or have terrible image/sound quality due to age, then it's Blu-Ray...

Anyone who was at Batman Returns on Wednesday night... did you think there was an issue with the sound? It was way too loud and the bass was too high. Either I only noticed it at the start and I got used to it, or they fixed it. Hopefully it wont be an issue for the rest of the batmans.

Also... Akira in the lighthouse at 6.20 and Batman in the Screen at 8.20... whats the chances of my making both? Screen never starts the movies on time so I'll probably have about 10 minutes IF the lighthouse does start on time... EEEK!

As part of the Screen's Trashfest run-up, they're showing Showgirls, "Paul Verhoeven’s 1995 cult classic (sic)" on Friday May 25th.
I wouldn't plan on going but it's one of those things that I just might be in the mood for on the day.

Unfortunately, the listed run-time for Akira is 125 minutes so it looks like your out of luck. A bicycle would be the quickest way of getting from Smithfield to the Screen. If you don't have one, you could use a Dublin Bike though the bike stand locations at Smithfield and Townsend St. aren't optimal for either cinema.

Yeah Akira will be cutting into Batman time but only if both start on time.

Akira on time + Batman late = perfect monday viewing!!!

I do have a bike but my movie buddy doesn't. Sigh!

Went to see Batman Forever in the Screen last night for the first time (tomorrow is the first time for batman and robin) and oh man was I surprised!! Really enjoyed it. Laughed loads and gasped in all the right places. Why does it get no love? The crowd were quite stoic last night and I'm pretty sure I was annoying everyone in there but hell this is not a serious movie, when you hear the comedic sound effects. And the piste de resistance when he is trying on his new batsuit and you get teh speed sounds and close ups including the rubber clad butt shot. LOVED IT!

Because, unless something like this is happening, Batman should not be funny.

You are in for a treat with Batman and Robin. A stunning piece of cinema.

Well I saw Batman and Robin. Or should I say Batman and Robin and Batgirl and Poison Ivy and Mr Freeze and Bane. Christ was that a bad movie. No ficus, no threat, no real POV of the citizens of Gotham, just a bunch of non superheroes talking and not enough fighting.

Seriously, Bane? Did they just read a character synopsis from wikipedia? He was a glorified bouncer, and not even a good one at that. Poison IVy could have been an interesting charactr but her demise was terrible. Much like that of Boba Fett, she just kinda fell over in the end.

As for Batgirl, pure needless distraction from Clooney. Who was awful as Batman. Cant really judge him on his Bruce wayne, as he only played him for all of 3 seconds. Ah well. Batman Begins on Monday will cheer me up!

On another note... Raiders of the Lost Ark is playing in Meeting house square on the 14th June. Tickets are FREE and go on "sale" on the 3rd.

Anywhere in cork showing classic movies, or even decent independent current releases.
Since the kino closed it's mostly main stream movies down this way.

All

After my original plan to show the original Star Wars trilogy ended (Thank you George Lucas) my next insane venture is showing "Batman Begins" and "The Dark Knight" back to back in Glor in Ennis on July 14th (6 Days before the new one)

Glor have been very positive in their responses and are up for showing the movies, although im waiting on confirmation of them being cool with the double header..

Since Im organising the event, it means I have to get numbers sorted to ensure the event goes ahead , Im waiting on final confirmation of cost from Glor,

So, who is interested???

Yes, Yes, Im well aware screen cinema in Dublin has shown the Batman Movies...but I'm trying to get it done down here.

Here's the facebook page, details need to be changed on since the original idea has now been tweaked...if you fancy it, confirm attendance, invite your friends and share...
