Do you love the Summer Nights film series, but just can’t stand the heat? Enjoy classic movies, but hate to watch them at home? Are you a movie lover or a casual film fan? Well, we’ve got something just for you.
This winter, the IMA will debut Winter Nights, a counterpart to the IMA’s popular Summer Nights film series. Winter Nights will feature classic films with familiar names. All films will be screened in the IMA’s Tobias Theater (aka The Toby) which will open this fall. (Which means…unlike Summer Nights, the IMA will provide the seats AND climate control.)
Below are some of the films that you will get to see this winter on The Toby’s big screen:
- The Maltese Falcon (dir. John Huston, 1941, 101 mins, B & W)
- La Dolce Vita (dir. Federico Fellini, 1960, 180 mins, B & W)
- The Bank Dick (dir. Edward F. Cline, 1940, 72 mins B & W)
- Blade Runner: The Final Cut (dir. Ridley Scott, 1982, Color)
- The General (dir. Clyde Bruckman and Buster Keaton, 1927, 75 mins, B & W) with live accompaniment by the Indianapolis Chamber Orchestra.
- Lolita (dir. Stanley Kubrick, 1962, 152 mins, B & W)
BUT THAT’S NOT ALL FOLKS! Back by popular demand – the IMA’s Film Poll. We want to know what you want to see. Polls close soon, and at that time the movie that has the most votes in each one of the categories below will be chosen for the 2009 Winter Nights Series. You can vote as often as you like, so vote every 15 minutes, every day or just once. It’s up to you, my friends!
