I don't know if you folks have anything similar with your local / regional theatre chains, but Cineplex has been running a Classic Film Series for five years now, and to celebrate this they are offering free screenings of Hitchcock's Rear Window (1954).

Today I took the family to see it. The theatre was 90% full. It's the second time I've seen Rear Window on a big screen (the first was in the '80s at a repertoire theatre here in Ottawa - along with The Trouble With Harry, Rope, and Lifeboat.) This is my youngest daughter's favourite movie (I taught her well!) and likely in my own top twelve of all time. To see it again in a full-size movie theatre was simply fantastic.
This is a shrewd move on Cineplex' part, since they've now wetted my appetite for more. Pal Joey (1957), with Sinatra, Hayworth and Novak, is now on my to-do list for November. It's one that I've neither seen, nor that I have in my collection, and $6 to see it on the big screen is too good a deal to pass up.
