Comments on Landmark's Back in the Repertory Game

Duck Soup on the big screen on the 4th of July? God bless America.

Also, The Searchers has the most astounding scene of an Indian squaw being kicked down a mountain for comic effect, and seeing how this scene lands on a general audience has long been a dream of mine...thank you, Metro.

If only I didn't dislike your shrimpy cinemas so much...

I like all the films on the list, but the choices are so "safe" and easily available on DVD. Unless the ticket prices are half of what a first-run film goes for, I can't imagine any of these films filling up the avergae screening room in the Metro.

Am I the only one who misses the good old days of The Neptune when they the longest any one film played was three days?

I was kind of thinking the same as elswinger. It's not that the movies chosen are bad movies, in fact they are quite good. But I'm not sure Taxi Driver or Crouching Tiger really represent the decade in which they were made.

Metro Classics movies in the MetroNatural city! Any discounts for Metrosexuals?

Thanks for not suggesting that Landmark was in anyway threatened by our extensive rep programming at NWFF.

I realize that this "festival" is designed specifically for the average movie goer who doesn't want to go see a movie that they haven't heard of. But it took me 10 minutes to pull a more interesting list out of my ass:

20s: Pandora's Box

30s: The Libeled Lady

40s: The Ox-Bow Incident

50s: Bad Day at Black Rock

60s: Hell In The Pacific

70s: The Long Goodbye

80s: Drugstore Cowboy

90s: Bottle Rocket

00s: Ghost World

Eh, they may be safe choices, but I'll still see Miller's Crossing on the big screen even though I own it. I see it as no different than seeing a midnight showing at the Egyptian.

Always do the right thing. I'll be there Aug. 8.

Miller's Crossing on the big screen? I'm so there. Gabriel Byrne reached his apex with that role.

Monkey, Taxi Driver isn't representative of the '70s? That's gotta be one of the definitive movies of the '70s, along with Chinatown, The Conversation, or The Godfather. Crouching Tiger? Mmm, not so much.

I do second a screening of The Long Goodbye; it seems to have had a resurgence of interest in the last few months, at least by my perusal of other internet film forums. I personally love it.

I refuse to acknowledge any "film history" line up that fails to include The Third Man.

One movie per decade is a little ridiculous.
