Author Topic: Classic Films at the Ziegfeld Martin Brooks Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 900 From: Forest Hills, NY, USA Registered: May 2002 posted 01-26-2006 05:53 PM                        The Ziegfeld Theatre (last large single-screen in Manhattan) is starting a classic film series: Feb 3 -9: The Godfather, The Godfather II, Chinatown Feb 10-16: West Side Story, Chicago, My Fair Lady Feb 17-23: Epic week Feb 24- Mar 2: Lord of the Rings week March 3 - 9: Indiana Jones week. No word on whether any of these will be 70mm prints or if 35mm, whether they are new or recent prints. Anyone know?  |  IP: Logged Bill Gabel Film God Posts: 3873 From: Technicolor / Postworks NY, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 01-26-2006 06:22 PM                     It looks like all 35mm prints. New or used who knows yet. It does look like any 70MM on this series. Epic week is: Ben-Hur, Gladiator and Braveheart All seat $7.50  |  IP: Logged Bob Maar (Maar stands for Maartini) Posts: 28608 From: New York City & Newport, RI Registered: Feb 2001 posted 01-26-2006 07:08 PM                        Looks Good, Think I will catch a few. West Side Story is a definate must.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 01-26-2006 07:23 PM                     No 70mm? That's a shame. I watched a lot of movies in 70mm there. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade has a fairly stout 6-track Dolby SR mag mix. Of course it's another matter to find a print that is still in good shape nearly 17 years after its release.  |  IP: Logged Tom Doyle Expert Film Handler Posts: 176 From: Bristol, CT, USA Registered: Nov 2002 posted 01-26-2006 11:32 PM                     The entire schedule is online at: http://clearviewcinemas.com/ziegfeld-classics/index.html I'll certainly come down for a few shows. I hope that if they get a good turnout they will plan another one, and include some 70mm features.  |  IP: Logged
