Here in Portland, for example, we have a theater that shows 70mm prints with the original six-channel magnetic soundtracks. In recent years I have seen 2001, Tron, The Thing, Streets of Fire, Spartacus, Wild Bunch... all in 70mm. The 70mm presentation of Tron with the six-channel version of that magnificent Wendy Carlos score was mesmerizing. Ditto for The Thing, and even a somewhat cheesy movie like Streets of Fire looked great in the format. Toronto had a string of revival houses in the 70s and 80s. I have watched some great movies in them. If..., A Clockwork Orange, Casablanca, and lots more. I even watched the big screen version of Gone With The Wind at a revival house. Sadly most are now gone. The experience is something I still miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAROVORKIN Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 Then there are commercials and advertisements that they show prior to the films. I can recall a time when you didn't have any of that at the movies. One the main attraction of the movies t was no commercials except, maybe a blurb or two about the goodies at the concession stands.
