Taxi Driver will be shown with a new 35 mm print on May21-23 for a 35th Anniversary screening.We showed Taxi Driver first run for 12 weeks at the Loews Crescent.I plan to go to one of these showings.
We had a midnight showing of the movie “Carrie” first time it was shown in Nashville,of course no one had seen the movie.We had about 400 folks for this screening.At the end of the movie when Amy Irving is putting the flowers on the grave and the arm comes out of the grave about 20 people ran out of the theatre nearly tearing the doors off the hinges and ran out into Church Street.Good this it was about 1:30 A.M. and no traffic.I had never seen such a reaction to a film like that.We ran this show for about 7 weeks.
