Edgar Wright says:
I have seen many classic WB gangster movies: THE PUBLIC ENEMY, LITTLE CAESAR, ANGELS WITH DIRTY FACES, THE ROARING TWENTIES and THE PETRIFIED FOREST. I had Raoul Walsh's film all ready to go on DVD, but I want to see it on the big screen. Ditto for Akira Kurosawa, a director I love, but whose films I want to fully immerse myself in. I own them both on disc, but they will sit in their boxes until I have seen them on 35mm. Hit me.
Evening hosted by Edgar Wright & Rian Johnson!
[WHITE HEAT suggested by me; THRONE OF BLOOD suggested by John Landis]
************************************************************
This is a double feature:
your ticket admits you to BOTH films!
The box office opens approx. 30 minutes before the first film and then re-opens shortly before the second film for those who wish to only see the second film.
If you wish to only see the second film and purchased ticket(s) through Brown Paper Tickets, you will be able to claim your ticket(s) to the second film about 10 minutes before the second film starts.
