Just saw it on the big screen


Wow. After all these years I still can't get over how good this movie is. t's like a dream.
Sadly that may be the last time I ever get to see it on the big screen though, the theatre here in Melbourne that plays old movies is closing down next year :(

I just saw it on the big screen tonight. A theater built in 1922 shows classics on wednesdays during the summer. They showed Bladrunner and An American in Paris the previous two weeks. Next week is Wizard of Oz.

Nice! Which city do you live in? Oh and the one in Melbourne just reopened!! So Casablanca will return after all!

Lexington, Kentucky. Go here for the theater's website kentuckytheater.com I love that place. It has been around for 93 years. Just a beautiful place to see a movie.

I have been lucky enough to see it on the big screen several times, in my town's grand movie palace that is lucky enough to still be standing.

I've seen it a number of times on a big screen over the years. Last night was another occasion as it screened at the Loews Jersey, the legendary movie palace that opened in 1929. Seating capacity - about 3000. Close to a full house of enthusiastic viewers.
