    Really? REALLY?

    Avatar is 1 percent acting and 99 percent special effects. (Not that special effects aren't awesome). Plus he basically took the story of Pocahontas and changed the names...and made them blue of course.

    I wish Casablanca had a wider re-release this year for the 70th anniversary, i.e. was showing somewhere I could have reasonably gone and seen it.

    I'd love to see a Hitchcock, Wilder or a Lynch film in the cinema and of course Citizen Kane.

    Inception, because it's just not quite the same on DVD.

    This, 100 times this. It's one of my all time favourite films.
    Some years ago they showed a number of old films at my local cinema, I don't remember why. One of them was "The Dambusters." Another good film.

    2001: A Space Odyssey
    I saw it on a huge screen in at the National in London - amazing. Even more cool was that the original production company took off the soundtrack so there could be a live orchestra and choir doing the music throughout. Best night of my life. Oh, and Kubrick's widow gave an introduction!

    :awesome:
    Well, I'm totally jealous.
    I've never seen it on anything but my tiny TV.



    I'd love to see the first three Wallace and Gromit films (A Grand Day Out, The Wrong Trousers, A Close Shave) out in the cinemas, perhaps as a ~film night~ type thing, seeing as they're only 30 minute features.

    No idea if it's even possible to do it, but I'd love to see the original Evil Dead in full 3D, tree rape and all.

    This. Except the cinema would be full of teenagers and twenty year olds reliving their youth while the little kids outside due to lack of space. Like Toy Story 3.
