Lafayette Theatre

Great fall line-up… especially “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service” and “Night of The Hunter”. Always a terrific variety of films at the Laffayette. I’ll be there.

Not wishing to seem too greedy, but are there any plans for Sci-Fi/Horror screenings around Halloween weekend, beyond “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”? I remember not too long ago seeing some great Hammer films and a screening of “The Haunting”.
And who could forget Nelson’s live radio presentation of Orson Welles' “War of The Worlds” last season?

Finally, the Fall Season is confirmed. I will get the webpage updated tonight. Here is the final line-up of films:

10/3 – Angels with Dirty Faces (James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, Humphrey Bogart)
10/10 – Night of the Hunter (Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters)
10/17 – Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (James Stewart, Kim Novak)
10/24 – An Affair to Remember (Cary Grant, Deborah Kerr)
10/31 – Hunchback of Notre Dame (1939) (Charles Laughton, Maureen O'Hara)
11/7 – San Francisco (Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy)
11/14 – Mildred Pierce (Joan Crawford, Jack Carson)
11/21 – Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (Howard Keel, Jane Powell)
11/28 – On Her Majesty’s Secret Service (George Lazenby as James Bond, Diana Rigg)
12/5 – John Ford’s How Green Was My Valley (Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O'Hara)
12/12 – Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life (James Stewart, Donna Reed)

Should be a fun set of shows – look forward to seeing everyone there!

Went down to The Lafayette this evening for the 7:30pm screening of Love Happens.The marque looked FANTASTIC the neon bright and colorful, warmly inviting you, to walk through the golden doors into the majestic lobby. The new color dark wine,felt very sophisticated matching the character of the theatre. To the left of the candy counter there was a large mirror with gold leaf all around the top,very eye catching and fitting perfectly with the new color theme.

There were also two painting’s fitting perfectly with “The Lafayette”

The warmth and heart of the theatre is back with the return of Nelson, Bob, Pete, James and the entire crew! Nelson, Bob, Pete,and James Always make you feel welcome weather you are a “regular patron” or coming in for the very first time.
It truly makes for wonderful experience, much like it was back in the “Golden Age” of film in the 30’s 40’s and 50’s

Three cheers for Nelson Bob,Pete,James and the entire crew! Looking forward to many more magical nights at the movies!

Jeff thank you for the Fantastic photo’s! I was unable to make it down tonight. I WILL head on down tomorrow! Can’t wait to see how the old girl looks!

Glad to hear of the return of the Big Screen Classics to the Lafayette. I have been to several screenings there including one, To Kill a Mockingbird', which I made the trip from London especially to see.

Sadly, the low pound at present would make it very expensive to come over at the moment, but I hope to be there again someday.

Best wishes to Nelson and Peter.

Please note the Website for BCG is still listed st the top of this page.Whomever is in charge of this page PLEASE change the Website to www.bigscreenclassics.com

I’m looking forward to seeing the full schedule. Thanks, Peter Apruzzese

Just waiting for one final date to be confirmed to announce the full schedule, but here’s the first three weeks:

10/3 – Angels with Dirty Faces (James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, Humphrey Bogart)
10/10 – Night of the Hunter (Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters)
10/17 – Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (James Stewart, Kim Novak)

The remainder is pretty good, too. :)

Okay….Thanks, PeterApruzzese.

When is the new Classic Films schedule coming up? Just curious.

Yes, Nelson Page has bought out Boston Culinary’s interest in the theatre and has complete control of the operations again. Those are the correct showtimes for this weekend.
