It's all over the board. Last year they showed:

Sunset Blvd.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
Strangers on a Train
Breakfast at Tiffany's
Annie Hall
Bringing Up Baby
Night of the Hunter
Carrie
Point Black
Sullivan's Travels
Pee's Big Adventure
The Shining
And others.

They show a mix of stuff. Some is hardly every shown or seen, others are big hits. I've seen films there I have never seen before. Nothing beats the picnic atmosphere.

I would like to see Whatever Happened To Baby Jane and Arsenic & Old Lace.

:D

All About Eve (just becaues I've never seen it on the big screen and the more big screens it ends up on the better my chances).

Double Indemnity or Witness for the Prosecution
I would agree with Shadow of a Doubt as a Hitchcock selection.

As a relatively unknown selection I'd suggest 1969's Medium Cool as a good revival with pertinence for our current political and journalistic environment.

The Third Man is another I really want to see on a big screen.

Another forgotten film worthy of a revival is 1979's Saint Jack. The bridge between Bogdanovich's great period and his hack period. It was an attempt to get back to basics going guerilla in Singapore and making a very interesting movie in the process. Best performance of Ben Gazzara's career.

Well, you can always check out the Glendale Center Theater where rumor has it that a certain pipe-tootin' swanker may just land himself a role ;)

He's playing Baby Jane, right?

Desperado would be good. One of the best damned first few minutes of a movie.

Or Raising Arizona. Gotta love a movie that has the pre-opening credits last for half the movie!

How about Last Action Hero followed by Heaven's Gate - movies that killed many careers, and in the case of HG, killed an entire film company.

Oooh, Cohen Bros. would be good. My vote would be for Oh Brother or Barton Fink.
