We do quite well for 'classic' films here. As well as the cinema itself doing them, Wollongong University has a film society which shows an 'oldie' at the cinema every month. It's a great opportunity to see favourite films on the big screen. In the past year my wife and I have been to see '12 Angry Men', 'Singin' In The Rain', 'It's a Wonderful Life', 'Alien', 'Die Hard' (at Christmas, naturally) and, greatest of them all, 'Casablanca'.
Anyway, 'Zulu' was fabulous. The sound was a bit iffy, but once it got going we didn't really notice. If you haven't seen it on the big screen, then you should. It looks amazing, and there's so much detail that you miss on a TV screen.
And next week we'll be going to see 'The Princess Bride'.
Absolutely superb! Would love to see this at the cinema.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure a lot of cinema chains worldwide do these kind of classic movie events; it might we worth looking out for locally.
