My Fair Lady (1964)

cover

My wife and I honeymooned in a little town in Ontario called Stratford. Like its namesake in England, the birthplace of Shakespeare, Stratford had three major theaters. They put on world-class productions. We saw several shows while we were there and had a wonderful time.

The best production was My Fair Lady. I had never seen any production of that show, not even the movie. It was magical. Even the costumes got a standing ovation.

I’ve seen the movie several times since and just love it. This past February I got to see it in the movie theater with my wife and it brought back all the feelings.

They Live (1988)

they live

There is a company called Fathom Events that bring classic (and not so classic) films as well as live theater and other special events to movie theaters across the country.

I used to go to their events fairly often, but then COVID hit and other things happened and I stopped going to the theater all together. I’m hoping to get back to it a little more often and was thrilled when I saw Fathom was doing some John Carpenter movies.

I got to saw They Live and wrote a little thing about it for Cinema Sentries.
