I watched Blade Runner the other night
On a pissy 21" Amstrad CRT on my XBox DVD player.

Great film, but I couldn't help but feel it would have been a zillion times better in the cinema. So I wondered perhaps setting up a tiny cinema, showing classic movies for a small audience, with (obviously) full big screen and cinema style audio.

Think it would be great but I also doubt there would be a regular market for it....

*edit* I'm not from the city so I don't really know if there are much of these around already...

This.
The art-house cinemas here used to show old movies, cult movies, etc (I got to see 2001 on a big screen! And Blade Runner which is beyond amazing at the cinema, likewise A Fist Full Of Dollars), and a lot of things you'd just generally not see anywhere except on a TV screen. About ten years ago, they stopped most of that and started showing pretty much just Art-House movies. Don't get me wrong, I like arty stuff, but it was lovely to see old movies at the size they were meant to be shown at.

Alternatively (And to keep standards around here up): porn.

Surely if you could buy over an existing art-house cinema
And convert it into an old-school classics movie, that surely it wouldn't be THAT expensive? Just a case of getting the films in and the license to show them although I have NO idea how to set about doing that.
