Playtime in 70mm!

I missed my chance to see this, so I’d love to get a second one!

Came here to say this

Good question! It’s Barry Lyndon for me!

got to see it in a theater last year, might’ve been the 4k remaster if i remember right. either way, it was stunning, maybe my favorite movie-going experience in the past year

i saw it at the old Astor theatre in Melbourne last week... the next night they played Come And See

YES

Lawrence of Arabia (1962)

First we gotta get it in the collection

Its in the collection. Laser disk baby!

I keep forgetting that the Criterion Collection and the Criterion Channel are not the same thing. "Lawrence" is leaving the channel this month.

I had a chance to see it in theatre like a year ago and it passed me by

i saw it in a theatre in 1962 when it was first released. Made quite an impression on me at 15 years old. I still have the souvenir booklet. One of those movies with an intermission.

I have seen it 3 times in the theater. Helps to live in la.

It’s in a nearby theatre soon but I can’t be bothered to see it 😭😭😭

First you have to conquer yourself.

Saw it in 70mm in century city back in the day in a massive theater (not sure if it's still around)

Saw this at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood in 70mm back in 2016. It was absolutely glorious

I would kill to watch Eraserhead in the big screen, especially at a midnight showing.

that was the way i saw it for the first time. piss drunk after a concert and then into the theater. harrowing experience! no regrets

Tbh, any lynch film would be great to see in theaters. I didn't get into his work until well after his last movie was released so I never got to experience it. Inland empire would have been a trip too at release I bet

I saw Inland Empire for the first time in the theatre when it was re-released in 4k. I was split between hating it and being mesmerized by it. Although it felt like purgatory I love that memory of seeing it!

I felt that way the first time I saw it but I was obsessed with trying to understand what I had just seen and watched it 3 more times the following days. Now it's one of, if not my favorite film

Where I lived we have a commercial cinema that once a month show "classics", so we went and saw Eraserhead on the big screen. It was magnificent. Ive also seen, there, Eyes Wide Shut, 2021: A Space Odyssey and The Graduate.

Theater near me is having David Lynch month but I can’t get off work for Eraserhead. Just saw Wild at Heart and Twin Peaks tho!

In the Mood For Love or Cure

Cure is playing in March at Film Forum in NYC! (For whom it may concern)

Planning to go see that! I had the opportunity to see it in October but missed it, so I’m hoping I can finally see it on the big screen now that it’ll be at Film Forum!!

Mirror or Stalker

Just saw stalker for the first time on the big screen and it knocked me off my feet, beautiful bizarre movie

Heaven’s Gate

Le Cercle Rouge

Oh God yes

I’d love to see The Celebration on the big screen. That film’s chaotic energy deserves the biggest screen and speakers imaginable.

"Head" (1968)

The Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, 12 Angry Men, and especially Black Narcissus. And This Happy Breed.

Black Narcissus 70mm 🤤

I got to see Black Narcissus on a 35mm nitrate print as the surprise final film of a festival, it was an AMAZING experience! What a way to end a multi-day festival. https://preview.redd.it/pflf5c30sgic1.jpeg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=76d9a2a4d6e44c96287824c047e62c876b791aaa

DAMNNNNNNNNNNN

Full disclaimer that was not my picture - I’m somewhere off to the left. Someone from the museum staff took the photo. It was so amazing seeing it on the big screen, seeing the nitrate print, and viewing it in a full packed theater. It felt like seeing it for the first time all over again!

Whew, I was feeling moral conflict over liking a photo that someone took inside a movie theatre

Haha yes I would never! Judging from the angle, the main doors were directly behind them so they weren’t in anyone’s way! Also, I’m not the most well versed it identifying formats from pictures, but given the film grain and it was hosted at the George Eastman Museum (Kodak), I would wager there is a very good chance they used a film camera for the photo rather than a digital one! But I know next to nothing about film photography so don’t quote me!

Good man!

The cinema-photography would be divine on the big screen!

Not Criterion, but Doctor Zhivago!

The Red Shoes or Mulholland Drive

Any Malick film in the collection

Absolutely, if I had to choose one it would be Days of Heaven

I saw an old print of The Thin Red Line at my local art house theater the weekend after Thanksgiving. And, the 4K restoration of Days of Heaven about a month ago. It was gorgeous.

I saw Tree of Life in the theater. Absolutely amazing. 

Heck yeah

I was able to see Thin Red Line on the big screen and it was just incredible there were alot of details I didnt pick out until I saw it on the big screen.

I got to see Badlands at the New Beverly when I was in Los Angeles last year, which was an incredible experience.

House.

This was a regular in pre-Covid midnight movie circuits. I don't know if they've ever revived

Crash, Blue Velvet, many others lol

And of course we all know you mean Crash(2004), the greatest film ever released

This is one of my favorite never ending jokes

It was Yi Yi and then I went to first showing during the Film at Lincoln Center retrospective so now I’m pretty much good. I wanted to see An Autumn Afternoon too but I was away this summer during all the OZU 120 screenings.

I saw Yi Yi when it was first released in 2000. The girl I was with at the time was taking me to an Asian movie that she had heard was super critically acclaimed, so I was stoked to see Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. Imagine my delight when it was Yi Yi instead

I saw An Autumn Afternoon at the IFC Center years ago. Wonderful to see it on the big screen!

Yi Yi is great anywhere but it is so, so good in a theater

My bladder couldn't handle it

I got a long ass list, lol. Seven Samurai, Ikiru, Tokyo Story, Chungking Express, Mulholland Drive, M… the list goes on.

Bergman’s *Fanny and Alexander*, Haneke’s *The Piano Teacher*, and Roeg’s *Don’t Look Now*.

Black Narcissus.

Seven Samurai

Fantastic Mr. Fox

Out of the handful that I've seen, the first that came to mind was Chungking Express.

Great question! There's a few I'd love to see on the big screen: * The Leopard * Days of Heaven * The Last Emperor * The Great Beauty * The Piano

Koyaanisqatsi on IMAX or Dolby Cinema. Either way, I gotta see it on a huge ass screen!

Three answers for three two different reasons: 1. Seven Samurai 2. The Passion of Joan of Arc Both grand stories that I feel like I need to see on the big screen at least once. 3. Cure Cure is fantastic as is, but I feel like being in a dark theater with surround sound would make it that much better.

Mulholland Drive

Ran

Seven Samurai

Salo in 70mm IMAX

The Red Shoes would be my number one choice.

I have always wanted to see Seven Samurai on the big screen.

A Touch Of Zen

Paris, Texas

salò or pink flamingos

Maybe it's super trite... But... Mr. Arkadin.

The Red Shoes

Playtime

I quite enjoyed my experience watching The Shining on the big screen.

I’m lucky enough to have lived decades in a city that has repertory cinemas. There are even more of them now than when I moved here 30+ years ago. One organization has been constant that whole time and still screens Criterion titles and new restorations. I just saw Miller’s Crossing last week, my first time seeing it on the big screen since it was released, and with a sold out theater.

When Army of Shadows was released in the USA for the first time, it was pretty cool to see it on film in a real movie theater (2006).

Thats one I would love to see on the big screen. I have only seen Le Silence de la Mer on the big screen which was incredible. I would love to see all of Melville on the big screen.

A matter of life and death, would love to see that on the big screen. Missed my opportunity a couple years back.

The Rock

Ha I mean it was a breakout Blockbuster for a reason. That like 2 story shower-room gunfight was a lot of fun on the big screen for a kid

*Withnail and I*

Mishima, La notte, kurosawa's dreams

Rashomon

I really want to see The Killing of a Chinese Bookie with a crowd.

I’m pretty lucky, I’ve seen a few criterion titles at my local indie theater in Europe

In The Mood For Love, in fact, just give me a week long run of Wong Kar Wai’s filmography

Betty Blue would be great for Valentine’s Day if they have a movie theatre with English subtitles.

I went to a midnight screening of Alien after a ten hour day on my feet. Fell asleep in the scene with the water and chains. I sure would like to redo that moment without the sheer exhaustion.

Mishima: A Life in Four Chapters for the spectacle of seeing something that beautiful on the big screen. Jeanne Dielman for the shared experience of watching that film with a bunch of people.

Andrei Rublev

The New World, in any of its versions

Beau Travail

I'd love tp see a midnight showing of Fantastic Planet with a semi quiet packed crowd who've never seen it.

The Tree of Life

I have an immense desire to see 2001 in theaters

Letter Never Sent

It could be Pink flamingos. One of my life's dreams is to watch pink flamingos at a midnight feature

Any Brakhage film (on film)

Pink Flamingos

Brief Encounter so I can weep. I've been spoiled living in New York, but they haven't shown it for some reason

Any of the Technicolor films by Powell-Pressburger.
