Great car guy movie: Check
Amazing atmosphere: Check
Affordable: Check
On September 21st The Redford Theater Linkey McStinkey is showing Bullit. Here's the scoop:
The Redford Theater has been around for almost 100 years and was extensively renovated by volunteers and now only shows family-friendly movies and is 100% non-profit. They have secured, guarded parking (it's in Detroit), and the refreshments are actually affordable. I'm going fo' sho'.
I'm going to keep this thread updated for anyone interested because I wonder if there's a mistake in the schedule. Normally they have a show on Friday evening, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday evening. Three shows a week, that's it. Just about every show is $5.00. This one though, is saying it's on Sunday (I've never seen that in my 40 years going there) and that it's free.
So anyway, I'd love to see a group of folks go there to support a great theater that is family friendly, non-profit, and has overcome obstacles for 86 years. I've got groups like this together for car, and non-car things a number of times before. The manager of the theater said they can feel the difference when an extra dozen or so people show up. There have been a few GRMers that have gone, I think it was Italian Job?
Check out the calendar, they have some other cool shows coming up.

I freakin love The Redford, I've been planing to see Bullit there since they announced it at the showing of Vertigo(the awesome 70mm restoration print).

Quick run down:

-Everything on film unless otherwise specified.

-Still run carbon arc lights

-Fully 70mm capable.

-Cheap concessions, I go in there with $20 minus 5 for the ticket, and usually have cash left over to put in the donation box.

-Still has the original organ, they do silent stuff occasionally with live accompaniment.

-AWESOME CROWD, When I went to see Raiders of the Lost Ark, there were a lot of kids in there, they were all SILENT. The people who go here all know when to laugh, when to shut the hell up, etc.
