Just saw a pristine 35mm print of Jaws. Absolutely fantastic.

That theater is doing a two-week 70mm series shortly after my birthday, and I’m seriously considering going to at least half the movies. The ones I’m circling are Lawrence of Arabia (again; I just saw it two months ago but I don’t think I could live with myself if I passed up seeing a real print), 2001: A Space Odyssey, Spartacus, and Sleeping Beauty (they’ve got the only existing 70mm print). They’re also doing The Ten Commandments and Ben Hur on 35mm, and I’ll probably try to see one or both of those.
