How much would you be willing to pay to see the likes of Casablanca, Psycho, The Maltese Falcon, It’s A Wonderful Life, A Star is Born, Doctor Zhivago, The Wizard of Oz, One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest, The Sound of Music, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Spartacus and M*A*S*H all in the theatre. Well, if you live in Canada you will get the chance as long as there is a Cineplex theatre near you. I really encourage you to head out and catch each and every one of these fantastic movies even if you are not a fan of some of them. We need to show Cineplex and the other theatre chains that we want more than just the big new Hollywood blockbusters. I would love for this to be an ongoing series that never ends and who knows it might even lead into more classic films that are not from Hollywood coming in. I for one would love to see 8 1/2 or 400 Blows in theatre.

All tickets for all films are only $5! and you can find the complete listing under the seat.
