2001: a space odyssey: I'd be the only one there who'd of loved it and not been high on acid.
Lawrence of Arabia: Ebert has said it's one of the things a film lover must do before he dies.
Schindler's List: I can only imagine the audience reaction and the power that film must have on screen.
Vertigo: The original Vista-Vision projections must have been just marvelous.
Gone with the Wind: I'll get to see it soon enough for it's 75th anniversay
Casablanca: It's got a 65th Anniversary comming up...
There are older films I did go to the theater to watchi in film festivals or re-release. Scarface, for instance which is also a must-see on the big screen. In re-release with the new sound it is the stuff dreams are made of.
La Dolce Vita is an epic length film which is tough to watch at home but somehow in the theater it is a riveting film.

Unfortunately I haven't catched NONE of my favorite movies on the big screen. If I had the chance to pick some and give everything to be able to watch them on the big screen, these would be my choices: The Godfather Trilogy Scarface Heat Carlito's Way Lawrence of Arabia Dr. Zhivago Raging Bull Goodfellas Taxi Driver The Deer Hunter Pulp Fiction Once Upon A Time In The West Once Upon A Time In America Apocalypse Now Schindler's List Gladiator Casablanca On The Waterfront Leon the Professional Forrest Gump

What kind of theater are you talking about because the last couple of movies I saw in a theater I would like to see in a theater.
Are there many true theaters around or have they all been replaced by the typical 300 seat oversized screening room.
I think there should be a minimum requirement to be called a theater involving, screen size, seats, and sound capabilities.

Oh and Irish it could have been the Paramount theater in Austin that was showing an old movie, they have things there as well possibly even the Mall theater on Guatalupe (sp) but they mostly show arthouse stuff

I feel so old. I've seen so many of the movies mentioned in a theater. :p I agree with I12, that nothing can replace watching a movie on the big screen. Some, especially "spectacles" like Ten Commandments, Titanic, West Side Story, and many others I can't think of right now, are great to see on the big screen the first time. I did get to see GWTW back in the 70's when they played it at a local theater. The Wizard of Oz would be nice to see on the big screen, although I'm happy to say, both those movies are waaaaaaay before my time. Although, I don't know that they'd be classified as "spectacles", I would have loved to see any of the James Dean movies on the big screen. It wasn't until they were televised that I saw them, and at that time, with no videos, you simply had to wait, and check your tv guide in order not to miss a good movie. And in keeping with that era, a movie that's probably more of a "groundbreaker" than an award winner is "Rock Around The Clock." I remember my older brother coming home from the theater saying what a commotion, with people screaming, dancing in the aisles of the theater. With Rock & Roll, at it's birth, and being a fan at a very young age, I would have loved to witnessed the spectacle of the era, you might say. TIS

Now that I think about it, that's the theater that I saw both The Godfather Part I and Scarface
