I've been an Indy fan since childhood, but the only one I've ever seen in a theatre is Kingdom, obviously.

Tonight, though, there is a local 70-year old theatre less than a block away from my dorm that's screening the film. Shame I left my Raiders t-shirt at home...

:gun:

Lucky you! I got to see it at a local theater here several years ago and it was an amazing experience. Nothing beats seeing Indy on the big screen.

Raiders on the silver screen is heaven. I was blessed enough to see it in 2001 at a local theater. They play a lot of more artsy films. They also play older films when available. It was a kick ass time.

Damn. Cool for you, but I'd kill to see any of the Indy films on the big screen besides KOTCS (I see it 4 times).

One day it will come. One day.

Congrats, I'm going to see it in the theatre on May 23rd. Very excited.

Tommorow I'm going to see Back to the Future, and over the course of the summer, this theatre is also running the Shining, Ghostbusters, and The Big Lebowski.

i'm glad someone brought it up. Especially an all four back to back screening, at a drive in style showing.

but without the cars.



....which kinda defeats the whole point of a drive in.



...sorry



...i'll shut up.

Well, it was great. Packed house, audience of all ages. I've seen it so many times, but with a large audience that are interested in the movie it's a whole new experience. I found myself laughing out loud at many points. I wanna do it again! (y)

I know what you mean... a couple of years ago a small theater here had an Indy-triple night, and it was a BLAST. Like with your screening, it was people of all ages, and ALL of them were absolutely into the movies. There was laughing, cheering and even applause in all the right places. It was a fantastic experience!

If you aren't too far from Ventura, it's playing there on the 28th. My husband and I are driving from Long Beach to see it. (y)

Raiders on the big screen! Thats got to rock! I wish they did that where I live. Though this is off topic, they did a Star Wars back to back at my local theater... Its a shame I couldn't make it through the night!:(

Cool! (y)
I did attend a Star Trek I-VI night once.
(Saturday 8 pm until Sunday 10 am or something like that - w/ coffee breaks at the bar outside the big auditorium)
Feel asleep during V but was back on track for VI, LOL!

So in which order did they run them? I-III, IV-VI or the other way around?

Just curious,
Bye,

I can't believe I just saw this thread. I'd have gone to Oswego in a hearbeat to see Raiders on the big screen. I can't ever seem to find a place that does this....

I saw "Raiders" in the theater as a kid in 1981. I knew nothing about it except Harrison Ford was in it and Lucas and Spielberg were involved and since I was a Star Wars fan that was enough for me. Thought it was going to be about Noah's Ark or something. Needless to say I was blown away. Got right back on line. (On the line to the theater that is, not a computer.) Saw 'em all in the theater first. Reading these posts I realize how lucky I was!
