The IFI is screening the epic Lawrence of Arabia for a whole week. It seems the IFI previously screened a 70mm restoration from 1989 but this time around, it's a digital restoration (from the original negative). Very much looking forward to this as I've only ever seen bits of the film on TV and always meant to get it on DVD and watch it in full.

Yep it was shown in the Screen cinema March last year, great seeing it on the big screen, im sure itll be shown again though, possibly in the Lighthouse since it seems to be the place for the classic movies this year.

It's a Wonderful Life, Bad Santa and Scrooged playing in the IFI in December.

IFI also upping the game with retrospectives by running a full retrospective of Hitchcock films - all (surviving) features plus shorts / alternate versions (curious what they mean by the latter).

Starting with his earliest films in December, moving onwards 'til March. Wonder if they'll go the full hog and have the stuff he directed for Alfred Hitchcock Presents etc...

Something like Mary, the German version of Murder!:

There were also two versions of Blackmail, one sound, one silent. Doubt they'll do the TV stuff though.

Ant · 29-11-2012 10:02pm

I was delighted to see this post and then noticed that the IFI had posted me their brochure for December which has the same information. Looking forward to seeing some of Hitchcock's lesser known work.

Unfortunately, they're not screening the films in chronological order - which I'd prefer. The films being screened in December are from the 20s to the 50s.

IFI wrote:

Rather than screening the films in chronological order, programmes have been selected thematically in accordance with the groupings used by the British Film Institute in their recent retrospective of the same name.

johnny_ultimate · 29-11-2012 10:09pm

Yeah I noticed that when I was investigating further (although the BFI website is awful for trying to find out what the thematic seasons actually are :rolleyes:). Just saw that there were a few early films in there and presumed it was going to chronological, followed by a post here in a haze of not reading the small print.

Still, a monster of a season. Hopefully get to a couple, especially the earlier ones I have yet to get around to!

Sad Professor · 30-11-2012 2:12am

The Lodger is superb. Probably one of Hitch's best films actually - apart from the ending which was obviously forced on him by the studio, but he still manages to work a bit of ambiguity in. I've heard mixed things about the new score by Nitin Sawhney. I would have preferred the Ashley Irwin version, which it seems wasn't even included on the recent Blu-ray.

Don't be surprised if they screen it again before Christmas though.

Saw it on 70MM in the IFI earlier this year, immense.

While not exactly a "classic" as it came out 4 years ago, it looks like Cineworld will be opening their new IMAX screen with a showing of the Dark Knight next Wedensday 12th. I can't find it anywhere on their website but it showed up and let me get to the booking stage on the official Android app. The showings are at 17:10 and 20:30 (it doesn't specify IMAX but the price is about €16 so it must be).

Also, Reservoir Dogs is being re-released for it's 20th anniversary on 15th January: http://www.cineworld.ie/whatson/5845?cinema=75&date=week

Here is TDK

Don't waste your money on TDK in Cineworld. It's not the 70mm IMAX version that would actually be worth shelling out for.

EDDIE WATERS · 05-12-2012 3:07pm

I got this email off Cineworld a few days ago

Free Taster Sessions

grames_bond · 05-12-2012 11:05pm
