I was VERY close to biting the bullet and heading out west for the TCM Fest this year but plans fell through.

Next year, I am absolutely going.

We had a retrospective house in Milwaukee, a few of them, actually, that have come and gone. I was fortunate to see some great ones before they shut down.

Manhattan, Citizen Kane, 2001, Five Easy Pieces, Vertigo, The Fortune Cookie.

Soup up your home entertainment systems all you want, dump your 401K into the best 3-D LCD screens and THX surround sound systems available, with a BluRay cherry on top and I STILL SAY you'll never beat going to the theater to see a movie EVER.

How much do you think people would be willing pay to spend a whole day watching all the Harry Potter movies in a row, with appearances from the cast?
