Hi,
I know a lot of our forum members long for classic titles in HD and although this will be a theatrical presentation of a new HD master it might be worth the price of admission for our classics loving membership that lives in and around the Washington area.
And if you go let us know if we can look forward to seeing this on Blu-Ray

EL CID
Special HD Digital Presentation: The Digitally Restored Wide-screen Epic
"EL CID is one of the greatest epic films ever made. Anthony Mann's sense of composition, his use of space, and his graceful camera movements bring to life an ancient tapestry where the transformation of an ordinary man into a legend becomes almost a mystical experience." - Martin Scorsese
Film legends Sophia Loren and Charlton Heston ignite the screen in this medieval tale of passion and chivalry. Heston plays the heroic Spanish knight, Rodrigo Diaz de Vivar, or, to his followers, "El Cid" - Moorish for "one who is both compassionate and a great warrior." Without compromising his strict sense of honor, he succeeds in driving the Moors from Spain and becomes a legend. Loren plays the mysterious Chimene, a Moorish princess torn between her desire for revenge against Heston -whom she blames for her father's death- and her developing love for him. Directed by the great Anthony Mann.
DIR Anthony Mann; SCR Ben Barzman and Philip Yordan, based on the story by Fredric M. Frank; PROD Samuel Bronston. 1961, color, 182 min. NOT RATED
