So tempting - is The Music Box a worthwhile venue?

I wish I hadn't used up all my vacation days for the year - I'd love to be able to attend from, say, July 6th-9th... during that stretch, its:
-2001: A Space Odyssey
-Sleeping Beauty
-Top Gun
-The Agony And The Ecstasy
-Spatacus
-Interstellar
-Lord Jim
-West Side Story
-Short Cuts

Wouldn't be a bad way to spend a few days

It's a beautifully restored 1929 theater. The "Silent Saturdays" have live organ accompaniment. Great place to see a movie and be transported back to different time, definitely!

I noticed in the supplied link that the print for "Lord Jim" is sourced from the OCN.
Does this at all connect to the possibility that a better BD is now possible?

Well, it won't be this year; but these are the festivals that I would journey to.
Thankfully, my new employment will make this exciting venue possible for 2018.
A great line-up.

Music Box Tech Director Julian Antos is the best of the best. You can't go wrong with his involvement in the series. VERY highly recommended!
