Theatres really need to screen classic movies more.

I just got back from watching Scarface with a buddy of mine at the local theatre. Recently they have started screening two classic movies a month once a week. This months selection was between Alien and Scarface. Decided on Scarface because we’ve watched it so much together and always quote it. Despite seeing it so much (atleast 10+) watching it on the big screen was an absolute delight and i had a massive smile on my face almost the entire time. The screening was at 9:30PM , and considering its a weeknight and the movie is 3 hours long it’s no surprise the theatre was pretty empty. This was good for me cause i could put my feet up and crack a few jokes with my friend without pissing anyone off. But considering i had such a good time, it got me thinking that theres so many goddamn movies i want to watch on the big screen now and if not many people are coming then i feel it won’t be continued. The theatre have listed the rest of this years line up and other than Predator, the list is pretty lacklustre unfortunately. I feel like this should be something theatres should push a little harder, i feel like most of us can say we don’t go to the movies as much as we used, with all the reboots, uninspired sequels and cinematic universes there just doesn’t seem as much that is worth paying for an overpriced ticket for. Theatres really need to capitalise on the fact that its the experience people go for, and with less people coming to see new movies... give them the option to watch some great older movies. Hell even some more recent ones too. I’d definitely pay cash money to see the dark knight again. Sorry for the long, ranty, poorly written post but I can’t get this off my mind and want to know what you all think. Hopefully someone steals this, rewords it, and it gets much more upvotes because i really want this to be a thing.
