![]() ![]() The Phantom Menace - I was a kid at the time and SO hyped for the first new Star Wars in years. I have a few for different reasons, though I imagine some could be controversial out of context. That kind of movie that reminds you of the magic they provide. Small budget, simple but effective movie that just had quite an impact on me. I hadn’t seen it in full until I saw it in theatres and it was just a great movie. Besides, it’s a well maintained theatre, often times a rarity nowadays.įourth, the movie itself. ![]() It’s the little things like that that let me know how much the theatre cares. They had a pre-show, which included one of the managers sharing a few fun facts over the PA alongside some old trailers and a cartoon short. Third, the care that New Bev put into the presentation was impeccable. They were laughing and reacting at key scenes in the movie but being respectful too. Right as you walked in, you could feel their excitement. It was a fully packed theatre, something I haven’t seen in a while. Film projection will always elevate the experience for me. However, the one that sticks out the most for me (as of recent) is when I went to see Bottle Rocket at the New Beverly.įirst off, it was a 35mm showing. I’ve had quite a few that I’d consider some of the best experiences. So while it was my best experience, it was equally my friend's worst. ![]() For forty minutes straight, I was laughing out loud in surprise while my friend kept looking over both shoulders to make sure we weren't going to be killed. By the point when Baxter is barking to the bears in their native tongue, I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Incrementally, the story got weirder and more absurd, to the point where I couldn't stop laughing out loud.Ĭlean and sober, trying to process what had to happen for a group of grown adults to make these creative decisions. The shock of Baxter being booted off of a bridge caused me to guffaw out loud. Before then, it was some run-of-the-mill spoof of 70s lifestyle and goofy journalism. Each moment climbed further into some bizarre world starting when Ron Burgundy tossed his burrito out the window. Watching Anchorman with my friend, discovering at the exact halfway point that the movie was completely insane. What about y'all? What are your best theater experiences? I have never experienced anything like it before, and I kind of hope I never do again. It was an all out assault on the senses and it was glorious. And then when Tony snapped all the way through his funeral, the entire place was a mix of sniffling and people crying. Murmurs and gasping when Black Panther and the Wakandans walked through the portals, cheering and screaming as >! each beloved character showed back up!<, clapping and hooting and hollering the whole time, everyone in tears over how joyous it was. At the point in Endgame where Thanos begins his assault, through the Cap/Thor/Tony fight, basically starting from when Cap picks up the hammer all the way to the end of the battle the entire theater was like nothing I've ever seen before. We saw it opening night, and I saw at least ten or twelve people in the audience who I recognized from Infinity War's opening night, including a couple kids who had walked out crying. ![]() Inspired by the worst experiences thread from yesterday, I've seen a ton of people over the past few years saying Avengers Endgame was their worst movie experience, because people were cheering and yelling and clapping in the theater during the climax, and I'm over here like, how is that not the BEST theater experience? ![]()
