One thing I really miss now ...

[ificandream]

.. is seeing classic films on the big screen. Last one I saw was "Casablanca," which is one of my favorite films. It was even better on the big screen.

1. As Time Goes By

Sing it Sam...

You must remember this
A kiss is just a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

And when two lovers woo
They still say "I love you"
On that you can rely
No matter what the future brings
As time goes by

Thanks Herman...

2. Way back when, Girlfriend and I would head for Carnegie...

Hall Cinema, just made for old talkies and scheduled the best of them. And some not so good, at times.

Being next door to The Russian Tea Room didn't hurt, either.

3. So true.

Oh sure, everyone's seen "The Wizard of Oz", but it was so much better the time I saw it in a theater.

Then there was the Director's Cut of "Lawrence of Arabia", shown on the last remaining 90-ft-wide Panavision screen in my town before that theater gave way to multiplexes, which gave way to videocassette rental, which gave way to streaming...

It's great to that people now have such a bountiful smorgasbord of movies right in their own living rooms, but still, you've never really seen a movie until you've seen it on the big screen.

6. My family and I saw "Oz" on the big screen, too.

You're right. That was quite wonderful.

4. I saw it on the big screen

5 or 6 years ago, and you're right. It's INCREDIBLE when viewed that way. I've always loved Casablanca and probably know every word of it, but seeing it on a big screen added a whole new dimension.

5. It really did.

I don't normally get teary during "Casablanca," but seeing Ingrid on the big screen did it.
