Lord of the Rings: February 5th

As part of the Digital Film Fest, Cineplex will be showing the Lord of the Rings trilogy on Saturday, February 5. In Calgary, this will be at Chinook mall, but you can check your local listings Based on the running times, these will be the original theatrical versions, which I have not seen since they were first released.

Like the theatre's Classic Film Series, blogged here in November, this has been under-advertised, as I only chanced to hear about through some friends I chanced to bump into at the mall. Still, the line up of films beyond the Lord of the Rings is great, and at five dollars a ticket, it is an affordable good time.

The other films in the festival are:
  • Back to the Future
  • Alien
  • Aliens
  • Predator
  • Big Trouble in Little China
  • Goonies
  • Ghost
  • Dirty Dancing
  • The Usual Suspects
  • Raging Bull
  • This is Spinal Tap
  • The Blues Brothers
  • 12 Monkeys
  • Lethal Weapon
  • The Hunt for Red October
  • Fight Club
