I remember when they re-released the Star Wars Trilogy a few years ago, and my boys got to see it on the BIG screen (my local 20 screen multiplex has one theatre that seats 800 and has one of the HUGE, old fashioned monster screens, complete with state of the art sound system, very cool). It was a completely different experience then watching it on TV.

Some movies I think should be seen on the big screen:

Braveheart
Dances with Wolves
Gone With the Wind (I remember seeing this as a kid)
ET
Star Wars
Any Indiana Jones flick
Close Encounters.



Oh, and for the OP? Around $7-$7.50 for an evening show, $5.50 for matinee.
Out of the movies you listed, I'd only have to disagree with one of them....Dances with Wolves is best seen on the t.v.

That is, the EXTENDED version of Dances with Wolves.

They never released the extended version for the big screen and it's only available on dvd. And although the cinema version is good, the extended version is a much better presentation of the movie itself.
