A collection of the Christopher Guest movies would be good, they're all around ninety minutes long. This is Spinal Tap, Waiting for Guffman, Best in Show and A Mighty Wind. Plus, Harry Sherer's "Teddy Bears' Picnic" (which I have Not seen.) Any grouping of those.

The day ESB opened near, a bud and I went to the first two screenings (it only played on one screen at a time if you can believe that.) We bought tickets to both showings to ensure they wouldn't throw us out. That's about as long as I'd want to sit in a movie theater.

Incidentally, the evolution of the cinema chair has evolved nicely.

Attempted the LOTR one myself whn Return of the king came out. Unfortunately I left the cinema for a cigarette half way through and they wouldn't let me back in.

I want to go back to the films of the 80's, where plots were simple, and explosions happened regularly....

If they did show them at a cinema near me I probly would go to see them but I doubt it will happen. Im planning to watch all 6 in a row though on dvd so it should be exellent. I think you will have to to fully understand the story.

to fully understand the story? If I knew then (before SEs) what I know now I wouldn't want to know. Yet I'm going to see the movie, even though I'd rather the alternative.

It is all about money.

I would never sit through even two movies, not to mention six. I noticed that DVD at home spoilt me rotten. I can just skip the dragging moments without even bothering about worn tape. I could not even sit through the whole ESB on DVD (maybe because I have seen it like eight times in cinema).

I hope they all do come out at a marathon at the cinemas because i never got to see the OT there because I was never born. And ive told thats the true way to see it. Ive seen aotc at the cinema's though and im going to see episode III there. I also didnt get to see episode I so I wouldnt be seeying 5 movies for the first time at the cinemas.
