What Movies would you want to see on the big screen again?

SassyGal · 02-13-2010, 12:21 AM

I recently went to a digital film festival in Toronto and saw Labyrinth for the first time on the big screen. They were playing a lot of other awesome movies too, like Dr. No, Goldfinger, Ghostbusters, Die Hard, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, and a whole bunch of other movies I have only seen at home.

I was just wondering if anyone had any favourite movies they would like to see on the big screen again or even for the first time?

Turtles Forever.

Okay, so we only saw them on "big screen" TVs at SDCC, but I'd settle for that even.

Independence Day- Now that was a good movie.

Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles: The Movie, Beetlejuice, Alien, Con Air, Jurassic Park... probably more... but I'm too lazy to go into an extensive list.

I think Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away would be nice to see in a theater as well.

And of course.. Turtles Forever ... though, I'd much rather have it on DVD.

Hmm... I think I'd want to see Silent Hill in theaters again, only with much lower and realistic expectations.

*ToTheNines* · 02-13-2010, 10:44 AM

Jurassic Park, The Godfather, and Children of Men.

*Oculus Orbus* · 02-13-2010, 10:49 AM

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the first one. I was so young back then, I barely remember that day. But it's probably my first memory of going to see a movie.

Same here with Independence Day. It still holds my record for most viewed in the theater. 10 times. Of course, movies cost only 3.50 back in the day, but still, I loved everything about the movie. The ships, the destruction, one of the greatest presidents portrayed in a popcorn action blockbuster, all the wacky and crazy characters, and the interweaving of the Area 51 and Roswell controversy. I'd watch it again if they were to re-release it today. Now that's a film I would have loved to see in Imax 3D. When that first space ship comes out of the cloud in NYC, would have been fantastic in 3D.

I'd also like to see Close Encounters of the Third Kind, The Abyss, Poltergeist, The Black Stallion, The Last Unicorn, Legend, The Neverending Story, Die Hard and the Indian Jones trilogy in the theaters.

Ong Bak. It generated quite the crowd when we watched it at school. Imagine the awesomeness in a theater.

Agreed about Jurassic Park. I'd love to see it on an IMAX screen.

Ooh I'd love to see Last Unicorn in theatres!!

My list:
Last Unicorn
Legend
Benji (the original, not the remake)
The Sound of Music
Turtles Forever
Oliver and Company (I originally saw this in the theatres as a double feature with the original 1940's Lassie movie)
Labrynth
The Dark Crystal
Muppets Take Manhattan
The Secret of Nimh

I would have loved to be able to see Ghostbusters in the theatre again. I'd also love to see Raiders of the Lost Ark and Legend.

*Warhorse* · 02-14-2010, 10:51 PM

It's nice to see other Legend fans out there. That movie really sparks up the imagination.

Other movies that come to mind. Tremors, Willow (I did see this one in the theater, but it's still one of my favorites) Top Gun, The Breakfast Club, Platoon, Full Metal Jacket, The Messenger, Days of Thunder, Armageddon, Pump up the Volume and Scream, all these movies I love, but never did see them on the big screen.

I got to see Ghostbusters and Army of Darkness recently which was great. I'd love to see Blues Brothers on the big screen.

I remember seeing a midnight screening of Army of Darkness almost a decade ago, but I wish it had been the director's cut... or Captain Supermarket. The US theatrical cut is just too short...

The Locals - NZ movie which I think was mint.

Lord Of The Rings Trilogy - Mainly for The Two Towers cause its the only one I never seen on the big screen.

I saw all three, directors cuts, on the big screen, in one day. That is an experience I recommend to all LOTR fans! I'm fairly confident that they'll do something like this again, probably a little before or after The Hobbit.
