Totally agree!!! That's 1 great thing about college towns & large cities...they have "art" (not porn) cinemas where adults would be likely to show up. Turner Classic has been having old classics being played in actual cinemas...just like in the day. For some reason I seem to remember they were showing "Smokey & the Bandit" on the big screen recently...along with others in the past. Too bad I have no way of getting the 80 miles to Portland on the scooter or can take off the time from work...since I work Thursday-Sunday every week.

Forgot one of the best ones I would give an arm/leg to see in Imax or another giant format...2001: A Space Odessy. Funny thing about that movie...ended up watching it on my wedding night as I drifted off to sleep after being up since 4 AM...wedding/reception in the afternoon.
