I posted this in the National and Local Home Theater Forum Meets area, but someone suggested I post it here as well.
I realize this is a late notice, but the films, condition of the prints, and the theater may very well be enough to interest some in a last minute trip to Austin!
If you have never heard of the Paramount Theatre, let me just say, it is considered one of the finest theaters in the world, and has hosted many world and regional film premieres over the years.
Every year the Paramount Theater hosts a summer film series, and this year it is ending with some amazing 70mm classics, several with brand new prints.
Here is the remaining schedule:
2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY
(70mm)
Thu 8/25/05 @ 7:30pm
Fri 8/26/05 @ 7:30pm
DOCTOR DOOLITTLE
(brand new 70mm print)
Sat 8/27/05 @ 3:30pm
Sun 8/28/05 @ 3:30pm
THE AGONY & THE ECSTACY
(brand new 70mm print)
Sat 8/27/05 @ 7:30pm
Sun 8/28/05 @ 7:30pm
THE REMAINS OF THE DAY
(70mm)
Tue 8/30/05 @ 7:30pm
Wed 8/31/05 @ 7:30pm
LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
(brand new 70mm print)
Thu 9/01/05 @ 7:30pm
Fri 9/02/05 @ 7:30pm
GONE WITH THE WIND
Sun 9/04/05 @ 2:00pm
Sun 9/04/05 @ 7:30pm
Before each of the films, they will also be screening the original "Batman" serial, Warner Brothers cartoons and more.
This really is a very rare opportunity to not only see these great classics in near perfect condition, but also in a theater setting you wont soon forget.
If you can make it, PM me and I'll be sure to meet you all on 6th Street and buy the first round of drinks!
Tickets are an embarrassingly low $7, and if you buy 10 tickets (which can be used in any combination for all shows) the cost is only $4.50
For more info, feel free to contact the Paramount at (512) 472-2901.
