I doubt there would have been anything as special as watching the Wizard of Oz at the pictures. Nothing quite like it, even now.
I went to see Clockwork Orange when it got it's proper release sometime in 1999 I think. That was pretty special.
I've lots of great memories going to the pictures. I went every Saturday to a kids club thing where they would play loads of pish from when they ran the club in the 60s. Didn't matter. I loved everything about it. Fruit Pastels in a box, girl with the ice cream tray (ended up marrying my first wife who did that job at school) sticky carpets (not related) and the Pearl and Dean tune.
Saving Private Ryan was pretty ****ed up on the big screen. Felt queezy after the first scenes. Last film I went to see that had an interval.
The GFT is great for film buffs like myself. Old school cinema and atmosphere. Recently went to see Escape from New York there.
I haven't watched a really, really good film at the cinema since Whiplash. That I can think of.
