YOUR chance to choose some "Flashback Flicks"

 

                           

O.K.  So Henry, the Manager at Edwards Riverpark, would like to know - which classic films you'd like to see included in his next batch of "Flashback Flicks." 

Every Thursday night, Edwards shows an old, classic movie on the big screen for only $5!  The "Flashback Flicks" are on hiatus right now, but YOU can help Henry choose which films might be part of his next batch.

I've put together a list of some of the movies I'd like to see brought back for one-night-only.  (See below.  Not necessarily all my favorites.  Just movies I'd like to see again on the big screen!) 

What about you?  Leave your comments and suggestions, and I'll make sure they all get passed along to Henry!

1.  Showgirls
2.  Point Break
3.  2001 A Space Odyssey
4.  Caddyshack
5.  Rosemary's Baby
6.  The Man Who Fell To Earth
7.  Apocalypse Now
8.  The Crying Game
9.  American Beauty
10.  The Shining
11.  The Elephant Man
12.  The Thing (1982)
13.  Full Metal Jacket
14.  Blade Runner
15.  Harold and Maude
16.  Cool Hand Luke
17.  Good Will Hunting

From someone in our office, who wishes to remain anonymous:  "The movies from the 40’s/50’s that are in black and white.  The classics.  Hollywood glamour."

I agree with Txmutt...
1. Princess Bride
2. Inn of the Sixth Happiness (Now there's an old one for you!)
3. Musicals... an entire day, week or month of them type marathon
4. Broad groupings of actor's films...
My favorites are Jamie Lee Curtis & Eddie Izzard (now there's an eclectic mix for you!)
I still like Arnold in Total Recall, Twins, & True Lies
and Nicolas Cage has quite a varied background of movies too...
