Miscellaneous Movie Musings

What is your best single movie experience of all times? I'm not taking about the best movie per-say but the best theater experience.

For me it has to be thanks to the 1991 Julia Roberts movie "Dying Young".

After the success of "Pretty Woman" our classic single-screen huge theater (with balcony) booked "Dying Young" for like half the summer. After about a week of no ticket sales from that bomb, the theater was desperate for something to show. So they started showing old classics like "Larurence of Arabia" and "Blade Runner." On a Wednesday afternoon I went to a $2.00 early showing of "2001 A Space Odyssey". In a five hundred seat theater I was the ONLY one there. It was like being in space. Totally silent and cavernous. A true once in a lifetime movie experience.
