R
a hard day's night
director: richard lester
One of the most unabashedly happy movie-going
experiences of all time, I could not stop smiling the whole time
this was on the screen. This brand new print looks amazing
and the sound, well it's perfect too; much better than the first
time I saw this on Dialing For Dollars when I was 11.

chinatown
director: roman polanski
Beautifully shot in a washed out California haze, full of incredibly seedy characters, and a labyrinth of plot to boot: this is one of the best bits of film noir ever put to the screen. Jack Nicholson is in top form as Jake Gittes, a smart ass private eye (is there any other kind) who takes on a seemingly simple cheating husband case and becomes entangled in a plot of murder, corruption, and one really screwed up family.
