My university played a 70mm print as a special showing on  
campus. The projection/setup was amazing. I'll never forget the  
opening scene.. where the man is riding the camel in the  
distance. At first the image is a tiny speck, but the DETAIL of  
that speck was amazing.  The scene was rock steady, and no  
obvious "film" jitter or anything.

Can't recall the actual size of the screen they projected on,  
but was an easy 25' across.
