Field of Dreams and Shawshank are two films I didn’t see in the theater when they came out. Now’s my chance.
I am looking forward to seeing Lawrence of Arabia again.
Science fiction is truly one great movie genre.
To Kill A Mockingbird - - OMG, I have seen this film several times on TCM (and read the book) but had never seen it on the Big Screen until March and while the story always holds up it really does have more of an impact when you watch it with an audience.....Thank you.
Can’t wait to see Field of Dreams and The Shawshank Redemption on the big screen!!
Shawshank is one of my favorites but all of these are on my list
Just Saw the original Ben Hur in theaters! It is better on the big screen!
I am looking forward to watch To Kill a Mockingbird.
So many great ones...Alien, To Kill A mockingbird, Godfather. Can't wait.
Hopefully Lawrence of Arabia will be in 70mm
Hope to see To Kill A Mockingbird, which I love, but really don't want to miss Ben-Hur and Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen - only have seen them on TV.
Went to Dyersville, Iowa during a road trip from California to Michigan and back a few years ago. We had been planning a cross country trip for at least a year, dubbing it as our Field of Dreams trip. Sat on the bleachers, ran around the bases, and disappeared in the corn field. Ben-Hur and Lawrence of Arabia are epic, and I love them, but Field of Dreams touches my heart.
GREAT LINEUP! CAN'T WAIT.
Cant wait to see the locations!
Ben Hur & Lawrence of Arabia on the big screen is something spectacular to look for. True Grit with its backdrop, too. Wizard of Oz & My Fair Lady for the sound, too!! Field of Dreams, too.
Gotta do The Alamo (1960) & Spartacus, too.
Steel Magnolias, and Shawshank are my favorites
Wow!! Wizard of Oz has been my fav my whole life. I have a living room full of beautiful Oz momentos. Just added the gorgeous Hallmark ruby red slippers ornament to my collection. Got my fingers crossed.
Love the legendary Godfather movies Can't wait to see it on the big screen
1989 was a very good year at the movies.
