I would go with something like GHOSTBUSTERS and BEVERLY HILLS COP, only because of 2 things: the similarly broad appeal (lots and lots of people from all the demos turned out for it and loved it) and that mix of playing it straight and goofy that is really difficult to pull off now for some reason. Maybe because people are way more anal about everything striking a consistent tone and blah blah blah, but who knows. When you see NEW HOPE with a crowd it's always surprising how much people laugh, even Empire and Jedi never really managed that.

Ghostbusters has that witty-sharp-tongued-dialogue/zaney-characters/blockbuster-action thing that alot of 80s movies have. Movies since have one or two of those things but usually not all three.

I would see SW at the Cinema every week if it was playing! Seeing a movie in a Cinema is so different from home because of the audience (Unless they're talking and playing with their phones!!!).

There's a cinema in London that does a double bill of Marx brothers every year (ADATR & ANATO). I go each year and it's attended by middle aged guys n gals like me, pensioners, families and their little kids. We all laugh at different bits, me I'm laughing at Groucho and kiddies are giggling at Harpo. Watching my DVDs of the brothers at home is great but it's not the same.
