Cinemark announced the lineup for their next set of classic films they’ll be playing on their digital screens. There’s a lot of must-sees on this list, too.
Jaws is always a movie that I see on the big screen when I can. And having seen the Blu-ray restoration, I can tell you that you don’t want to miss it.
Bridge on the River Kwai is also one I won’t miss. Aside from Obi-wan Kenobi himself, Alec Guinness, that film is just a masterpiece of the highest order.
The African Queen is another masterpiece that looks fantastic in a digital format.
So, take a look at the theatres and the films and go out and see some GOOD movies.
