If you owned a movie theater . . .

[The Burgomaster]

1) What would be the name of your theater?

2) Where would it be located?

3) How would it be decorated?

4) What would you sell at the concession stand?

5) What would be the first movies that you would show?

My dream in life is to own a theater!  Ahh, if only.....which reminds me, there is one for sale here in town!  Too bad I'm lacking on cash.


My theater would be here on the coast of NC.  It would be decorated according to the films that I'd be showing.  If it were to be a weekend of all horror films, then it would be decorated in a funhousish.  The first films that I would show would be the Evil Dead Trilogy, Daughters Of Darkness, The Stuff, The Beyond, Killer Klowns From Outer Space, and then end it with Ringu.  It'd be a all night marathon type of thing.

There are a couple of theaters in Portland OR I'd like to duplicate:
Brew pubs!  The one on the west side was first, but the east side one actually is (or, shudder, was-- haven't been there in 10 years) a renovated theatre from the 1930s, nice old decorations, not like one of the modern shoe box type theaters.

As for movies, I'd do theme nights,
Date night: Casablanca, one from the Thin Man series, perhaps a Sam Spade one too.
Fright night:  Hell, just do the Night of the Living Dead series.
Flying Saucers:  the question is to start with Plan 9 and then do The Day the Earth Stood Still, or reverse the order.
