Go, people!

It's worth a long drive if need be, but whatever you do just go and see it.

 

[Robert Crawford]

I'm going to Detroit on December 13th.

I’m still waiting for a Dallas showing. I have not seen this film in 70mm since it was first released. While I suppose that it won’t have the impact on me now that it did then, I hope to be pleasantly surprised.

 

[Patrick McCart]

I hope it comes to Georgia..


Are there any 70mm capable theaters in Atlanta?

 

[Rain]

Any chance we'll get to see this in Canada?

 

[Dome Vongvises]

If it's anywhere near Ohio, Kentucky, or West Virginia, I'm there!!!

 

[Joseph Goodman]

The Uptown... YES.

 

[Steve Enemark]

Any chance we'll get to see this in Canada?

Dude, you missed it! It played at Seattle's Cinerama a couple weeks ago.

I bet it will come to Atlanta over the Summer and show at the Fox. Just like 2001 this year, we got it well behind most cities.

I believe the Fox and Tara are the only 70mm theaters in Atlanta, and in another thread someone confirmed that Tara did not have Lawrence on its schedule for the rest of the year.

It played at Seattle's Cinerama a couple weeks ago.

Last time I checked, Seattle wasn't in Canada.
I expect that will probably be the closest we get though. Rats. :frowning:

 

[Peter Kim]

Glad I checked this thread, just in time. 1st on the list is Minneapolis...my evening is set.

Cinestudio - Trinity College, Hartford, CT

November 24th - 30th, in 70mm

This will be sweet. This is the very theatre where I saw 2001: A Space Odyssey in 70mm, in first run glory.

 

[Rob Tomlin]

Glad to see more dates and locations announced!
Trust me, you won't regret driving a long distance to see this great film in 70mm!

 

[Jason Hughes]

Ugh. No way I will see at the Main Art Theater in Royal Oak. Just about the most uncomfortable seats you can imagine. I can make it through a 90 movie there, but Lawrence of Arabia.....

 

[John Knowles]

I plan on seeing this at least once, more if it stays more than a week. My wife and I are 70mm junkies! Why else would I have paid $$$ to see Oklahoma, which I enjoyed for the first time, in a theater? Now if I can only convince them to get a print of My Fair Lady or perhaps the 70 print of Patton...

 

[BrianV]

I just saw this at the Ziegfeld in NYC the other day and was absolutely blown away. I'd only previously seen the remastered laserdisc and the DVD - seeing it on the big screen was quite an expereience. Can't recommend it enough..

 

[BarryS]

I hope it comes to Georgia..

Me too. I would drive to Atlanta at a moment's notice to see Lawrence on the big screen in 70mm.

Here's hoping!

I forced my boyfriend (future husband) to go see this at a re-release years ago when we were dating. He thanked me after, ...This is a movie I rate as a have to see once in your lifetime in all it's glory.

If any of you are readers...go find...Seven Pillars of Wisdom by the great 'gone native' himself, (Lawrence).

Its wonderful, and insightful at this time.. into a society with very different cultural roots than ours.
It's what I call a 'mans' book....nary a female on any page.

Saw a matinee yesterday (Sunday) in Minneapolis. Kudos to the Heights Theater -- they are a total class act. Nice presentation, and a nearly full house (and for once, a silent audience). It's nice to hear a few tunes on the theater organ before the show starts, as well.

This was my second time seeing Lawrence (first was on DVD), and I'm speechless. It looks just gorgeous in 70 mm. It makes it so easy to understand why Lawrence loves the desert so much.

I can safely say that this is now among my favorite films of all time. I just hope I can fit in a second showing before it leaves Minneapolis!
