The Repertory Theater/Screening Thread
In which you post about your local rep house or screening series or what you've been able to catch recently.
I know Devin posited a couple of weeks ago (with news of midnight EVIL DEAD screenings) that repertory screenings were coming back, and, living in North Carolina, I'd fully support that statement. We're going strong on amazing repertory screening series. My favorite of which is CINEMA OVERDRIVE, which just kicked off a couple of months ago. Tonight I caught VICE SQAUD and was absolutely gobsmacked with how awesome it is. Just absolutely phenomenal, and it came with everything I go to repertory screenings for: great crowd, great trailers, greater movie. I loved it. Plus, they've got a local artist doing prints for each of the screenings and the VICE SQUAD one is cold, brutal and amazing.  AND! (I can't believe that, for a rep series that's four months old and in NORTH CAROLINA, I get to type "and!") They interviewed Gary Sherman, the director of VICE SQUAD. http://blip.tv/file/2825951 Check it out if you've got any interest. It's really quite good.

Re-reading that, I realize it sounds a bit shill-ish.
It's not! It's me high on movies, excited, overly enthusiastic. Sorry if I didn't post it right or in the right place. (I'm not totally new here, but I'm illiterate.)

Not sure if this qualifies, and I apologize if it doesn't, but here goes. It's not really a rep theater, but last night the Meyer Theater here in Green Bay had an Evening With Laurel and Hardy sponsored by the Packerland Theatre Organ Society. They showed four silent Laurel and Hardy shorts, all of which were accompanied by a live organist. It was an absolute blast, and just a really cool experience all around. One of the pieces of music was an original composed by one of the members of PTOS, and it complemented the movie perfectly. The best part of the entire evening, though, was that there was a HUGE crowd. The theatre wasn't packed, but it was pretty full, and everyone seemed to have a good time. Especially this one lady sitting a few rows behind me and my friend. This woman was laughing SO hard that it made everyone around her laugh harder. All in all, it was a great time.
Next month, at the History Museum in Appleton, they're doing a similar event featuring an Alfred Hitchcock comedy titled The Farmer's Wife. I'm really hoping I can make it down to that one.

We had Shogun Assassin here a few months ago. If you haven't seen that movie projected in a theater, you're really missing out. It's kind of shockingly beautiful in a way that no DVD can capture.
