‘CLASSICS IN THE LOOP’ – New Film Series at The Tivoli Begins With BEN-HUR (1959) Sept. 7th
There’s nothing more fun than getting to watch classic movies the way they were intended–on the big screen!
Now, I understand plenty of people don’t want to go to a theater, spend a fortune on tickets, popcorn, and a drink just to see the glow of cell phones and hear people rudely talking while someone kicks your seat from behind, but that’s not the experience you’ll get at Landmark theaters newly-announced (and affordable) film series. St. Louis movie buffs are in for a treat as Landmark’s The Tivoli Theater will run it’s ‘Classics on the Loop’ every Wednesday beginning September 7th at 7pm. The Tivoli will screen, on their big screen (which seats 320 btw), the type of epic, widescreen masterpiece that needs to be seen in a theater with an audience. Admission is only $7.
One benefits of the big screen is that you aren’t in your living room. The core function of movies like the ones they are showing at ‘Classics on the Loop’ is to take the viewer to the world of the movie and leave their own behind. That is so much easier to accomplish when one is not in the epicenter of the world they are trying to leave but in a spacious movie palace like the Tivoli. Seeing LAWRENCE OF ARABIA there will be like being in the desert with the protagonists (minus the heat).
The Tivoli’s located at 6350 Delmar Blvd., University City, MO. Admission is a mere $7!
Here’s the line-up for the ‘CLASSICS IN THE LOOP’ film series:
Sept. 7 BEN-HUR (1959)
Sept. 14 THE SOUND OF MUSIC
Sept. 21 LAWRENCE OF ARABIA
Sept. 28 LA DOLCE VITA
Oct. 5 THE TEN COMMANDMENTS (1956)
