If you live near an Alamo you're cinematically blessed :)

For the rest of us in (those in the US anyways) if you don't have a local Alamo equivalent look into Fathom Events: https://www.fathomevents.com/

They show classic or themed movies contracted out to local "standard" theaters.

On Oct 21 taking the fam to see Back To The Future. How many times do you get the opportunity to see that on the big screen?

I wish more theatres in and around Sydney Australia would do this sort of thing. The Hayden Orpheum does, but it is kind of out of the way. For a brief period when I was growing up though my local cinema had a period where they'd put on some bit of fan favourite movie for a session or two (Jurassic Park, Alien, etc) and it was so fantastic to go see them on the big screen with cinema sound.

EDIT: Just wanted to add I'd absolutely go to the movies more if the ones near me played older movies more, rather than just new stuff

I am seeing a lot of similar theaters popping up with full service, dining and drinks, etc. I really enjoy going to these type of theaters because to me it is more of a dinner with a movie instead of a movie with a dinner. Even if movie sucks, at least, you had some good food.

And being married for 10+ years, there are not many topics we can to talk about on date nights. So these are perfect place for date nights for old couples.
