Hope you really enjoy it   even though I knew exactly what was coming it was great to see in on a big screen, remastered and in surround sound.

Off to see it tomorrow with Herself.. Tried in vain to get a group together. I guess it's due to my generally unlikable persona.. Can't wait!

Was amazing

Seen the film dozens of times but up on the big screen its just..... wow.

Really hope this run is a financial success and prompts them to release more classics for limited runs

Bridge on the River Kwai please. Thank you.

Indeed. After being fleeced for second-rate rubbish like the Avengers and Prometheus I'd much rather pay to see re-released classics on the big screen. New films* can wait until they come round on LoveFilm where I don't feel as cheated if I get a stinker.

*Dredd and Batman being the obvious exceptions.

[hoops]

Looking forward to seeing this very much. I love seeing old films back on the big screen... went to see the 1958 Dracula recently with a mate and that was great fun too.

Thew wife and I ditched our many responsibilities and went to a lunchtime showing today.  Absolutely marvelous experience to see it in the cinema, plus we had a brand-new top-quality screen entirely to ourselves.  Rather than developing some new material for my next letter to Penthouse*, we carried on like a blissed-out version of Statler and Waldorf, pointing out things we'd never seen before, reveling loudly in the genius of it all... for about 10 minutes, after which time we became completely absorbed and STFU.

Great stuff, highly recommend.  We wandered out in into the rain musing on why there wasn't always a classic film to watch of a wet afternoon, and drawing up a list..



*I did suggest it, but the wife said 'feck off, you can get nooky at home** - I'm not missing this!'
** Sadly I did not get this in writing.

It was so cool watching it in the as good as empty cinema. I also noticed things I'd never seen before.. Like Brody and Hooper climbing out of the surf at the end! When the shark took it's victims it was so much more unpleasant too.. Loved it! Couldn't understand why it was empty though. We were 2 of 5.. And the one that surprised me was the girl that came to see it on her own..

I'd also love to see more classics getting limited runs.. I loved the look of Jaws.. The fact it was shot on film and wasn't always properly in focus..

You've answered that question yourself, see the bit in bold.

Well it was a Thursday lunchtime!  But I take your point.

As it happens we got chatting to the ticket-check lady who said Jaws'd been doing steady business.  She also said she'd enjoyed watching it herself for the first time, since she 'wasn't born when it was out last time'.
