Hollywood's Newest Formula for Success: Rereleasing Old Movies (nytimes.com)

I think this is cool. Watching a movie in a theater is a different kind of experience. For those of us who didn’t get to watch these movies in theaters when they came out this can be a nice way to do so.



I mean I like the idea of going to the theater to watch an older movie. But it does sound like a cash grab.


I saw Sunset Boulevard in its restored version for the 75th anniversary and it was terrific. It's wild to see a classic like that, stuck in the little box for decades, freed to live at its natural size and volume level. Stunning.


This is one of those rare cash-grabby schemes I don't mind. I find it pretty fun to go watch some old favorites in a communal environment on the big screen!


I'd rather they rerelease than remake them.
