Gone with the Wind! Not a doubt.
ReplyDeleteBohemian Rhapsody (kidding!)
ReplyDelete2001 in 1969 for the first time in a theatre on acid.
ReplyDeleteAny 1960's Disney - Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Mary Poppins, Three Lives of Thomasina. Also the Sound of Music.
ReplyDeleteI loved Thomasina!!! Chitty chitty bang bang was great too. Willy Wonka with Gene Wilder is my choice. Along with Wuthering Heights.
DeleteWhat was the first talky movie? It would have been great to see it in a theater.
ReplyDeleteOne of the William Castle ones with the Sensorama gimmicks, or John Waters' Polyester with the Odorama cards. they would be a lot of fun to see in a theater with the full shebang.
ReplyDeleteThe Whisper King. It hasn't been made yet, but I'm hopeful.

If you mean if I could go back in time and see a movie in a theatre, I'd want to see Psycho on its opening weekend in 1960 with an audience who have no idea what's in store.
ReplyDeleteDW Griffiths' "Intolerance".
ReplyDeleteJust wow.
Superman
ReplyDeleteI have been lucky to see many of the all-time classics on the big screen that need to be seen on the big screen: "Gone With The Wind," "Lawrence Of Arabia," "Sorcerer," "Apocalypse Now [Redux]," "Die Hard" and many others.
ReplyDeleteOne film I've not seen on the big screen that I would love to see that way is "Heaven's Gate." Or perhaps "The Eiger Sanction." Anything with spectacular outdoor cinematography. But "Heaven's Gate" would be #1.
Kind of weirdly worded, almost like what historical movie. Anyway, Gone with the Wind hands down.
ReplyDeleteIf we're talking going back in time: Theda Bara's Cleopatra or Lon Cheney's London After Midnight; both are currently lost silents. ANY lost Theda, actually. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteWizard of Oz
ReplyDeleteWeekend at Bernie's
ReplyDeleteAbel Gance's Napoleon.
ReplyDeleteGone With the Wind
ReplyDeleteMy grandma still talk a about when her dad took her to the movies to see The Wizard of Oz.
ReplyDeleteI’d travel back to 1974, score some primo weed, get pleasantly stoned & watch Young Frankenstein in a theater full of like-minded people.
ReplyDeleteI saw Gone with the wind in the theater when it was out idk around ten or so years ago. Quite incredible on the big screen.
ReplyDeletePink Floyd's The Wall.
ReplyDeleteI saw The Wall in a cinema double feature back in what was it 1980? The warm up flick was Heavy Metal if i remember correctly which may not be the case as i was definitely stoned for that one...:)
DeleteBaz Luhrman's Romeo + Juliet. I was only 10 when it came out and my parents wouldn't let me watch it then. I've seen it like a hundred times now, and even when I watch it on my laptop, the opening sequence with the voice-over of Pete Postlethwaite, Mercutio's death and the finale in the church give me goosebumps. I usually hate loud, flamboyant, over-the-top movies, but this one just works for me. Seeing it on the big screen would have been a mind-blowing experience.
ReplyDeleteWhat ever happened to Baby Jane
ReplyDeleteTCM has a deal with Fathomevents.com to show classic movies. They have shown Psycho, Casablanca, Maltese Falcon, Gone with the Wind, Godfather, Sound of Music and many, many others in your local theaters. Totally try it out. GWTW was better on big screen, but Godfather was worse. Casablanca was fantastic because you could see the midgets on the airfield (it was a size perspective trick). But one movie I have not seen that I would love to see is Guns of Navaronne. That or High Noon (Gary Cooper original).
ReplyDeleteAll About Eve or Sunset Boulevard
ReplyDeleteKoyaanisqatsi
ReplyDeleteComedy answer: Fritz the Cat
ReplyDeleteGone with the Wind for me, too . . . but I'd like to go back in time and see it when it first came out.
ReplyDeleteThe Exorcist with the first audience who saw it!
ReplyDeletewings of desire
ReplyDeleteA long time ago, I lived in Dallas and there was a theater that showed old movies. I saw Rebecca, Strangers on a Train, The Maltese Falcon, and Casablanca among others there. When I was a teen in the 70s, they re released Gone with the Wind and I got to see it on the "big screen".
ReplyDeleteStar Wars Episode IV.
ReplyDeleteThe last film ever made, not that impressed with first ones.
ReplyDeleteThe Red Shoes! A classic from Frame 1.
ReplyDeleteGone With the Wind. It was incredibly magnificent at the Theatre.
ReplyDeleteThe 1927 premiere of Metropolis (Fritz Lang) in the USA (NY I think it was) with the full orchestra & before UFA/Paramount cut it all to hell & gone. Did see the restoration at TCM back in 2010 but it is still missing a few minutes of footage,
ReplyDeleteA close 2nd is London After Midnight (a totally lost Tod Browning silent horror film).

ReplyDeleteSunset Boulevard
ReplyDeleteSunset Boulevard! My all time fav!
ReplyDeleteDracula, with Bela Lugosi, on the night of its premiere.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Casablanca
ReplyDeleteGone With the Wind.
ReplyDeleteI saw Wizard of Oz in IMAX a few years ago. It was kind of awesome.
ReplyDeleteA friend took me to see Gone With the Wind on the large screen and it was absolutely amazing. They simply do not make movies like that any longer. The cinematography was outstanding.
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeletewe are getting older now....Grandma's, some of us....but any film from the wonderful 1970s would be fun to see again
RavingBadger mentioned TCM/Fathom offering classics on the big screen. I'd like to see a silent film with a live piano or organ for accompaniment. Not interested in imagining time travel to be among the original audience for historical movies. TCM provides plenty of historical films.
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, Jesus Christ Superstar was amazing. So was Willy Wonka with Wilder
ReplyDeleteGentleBreeze, look around your area, there may be a theater that shows the old silent films. My husband worked at one in the LA area that had a pipe organ and piano that the owner used to play an accompaniment to the films. That theater still exists and still shows the old silent films.
ReplyDeleteFairylights, I'm in the TampaBay area and will check it out.
