I should also thank Phil Tisi if he was the one responsible for me finally getting to see “Marty” on the big screen.
Looking forward to seeing the new schedule. It’s just like the good old days (2004-2005 :)
Thank You, Peter for sharing this terrific (and unexpected) news!
Very glad to hear an agreement was reached between Mr. Page and the BCG.
Also, “thank you” to Phil Tisi for his efforts to help keep classic films alive at the Lafayette during the interim period.
That’s wonderful news. Congratulations to Pete and Nelson!
Does this mean that “Tisi’s Top Terrors” will not be playing on Halloween weekend?
YEEEEESSSSS!
Thanks for the good news! — Welcome back Nelson!
Just a quick note to let our friends & supporters on Cinema Treasures know that as of Friday, September 4, Nelson Page will be regaining operational control of the Lafayette Theatre from Boston Culinary Group. The attraction this Labor Day weekend is “Inglourious Basterds” which ends on September 7. As of now, the Lafayette will be closed from 9/8 through 9/17 for some painting & re-decorating.
We are all very excited about being back at the Lafayette after this 7 month hiatus. The Big Screen Classics Saturday morning film series will begin on October 3 – final bookings are being confirmed right now for us to announce the full schedule next week. Be sure to visit the official website at www.bigscreenclassics.com for more details as they come available.
Thanks for all your supprt and we’ll see you there!

Thanks for the info, bolorkay.
please Let us know. Classic film should only be shown at this theater. No knock on other theaters.
Hi elm0catt,MPol,fred and all of the friends of the Lafayette,
I hope I have good news for everyone… I just recieved an e-mail from Mr. Tisi’s office at the Dept. of Parks and Recreation, Ramapo, NJ that informed me that the Fall Film Classic program (not sure of the exact name they will be using in the future)will begin on Saturday, Oct. 3rd
The schedule will be announced the week after next, so let’s keep our fingers crossed and our eyes on our e-mails and this website for further announcements.
Hey Peter, elm0catt from the backrow here, new to this pretty cool site. what info do you have regarding the fall classics in suffern? At the final show of the Spring season it was announced that funding was not in place for the fall (a first in the six years of the program), they were hoping for the best, and if it happens it would probably start sometime in September. I’ve been to the theater twice in recent weeks and there is no information posted there although I did not get to talk to James. nothing on Town of Ramapo, Tisi’s, or St.Lawrence’s websites. Your posts seem pretty positive and confident that it is starting in September. Again what info do you have? Talk to you soon!
The Lafayette Theatre really is an old-fashioned theatre at heart! Cool!!
Been to the Lafayette recently .ITs theaters like this that Makes me a movienut. They still use those hard tickes than computer generated tickets
Hi, Lost Memory! Love that nighttime photo of the Lafayette Theatre! What a beautiful marquee—how it glows at night! Thanks for posting the photo.
Wow!!
There were 600+ people in attendance for the 7:40pm Saturday night screening of Inglourious Basterds!! Much of the film was shot in a MOVIE PALACE! So what better place to see it!
I am glad so many people decided to say “NO” to the cold impersonal multi-plex and the New city “Shoebox"of a theatre and went to the old Lafayette!
Looking forward to the classic films series in September!!
Thanks, Peter and bolorkay.
The classic films will NOT resume until Sept.Lets see what the line up will be.Hopefully more classic films from the 30’s-50’s
Hi,
I know I must have a case of the summer “fidgets” but, with the exception of “Harry Potter” and “UP”, the summer fare seems to be a bit sparse so I’m wondering when anyone thinks the Fall Classic Film program at the Lafayette might be announced?
I’m assuming sometime next month?
Hi, Peter. Thanks. I have at least 3 independent movie palace theatres that I frequently patronize, two of which I hold annual memberships at:
A) The Coolidge Corner Theatre, Brookline, MA
B) Brattle Theatre, Cambridge, MA
(I hold memberships to both of the above-mentioned theatres)
C) Somerville Theatre, Somerville, MA (Davis Square)
This theatre, although it plays second-run films and has live performances, to boot, is also independent, and it’s only 8 dollars to get into an evening movie show. The Somerville Theatre, however, has no membership system.
Hi MPol sorry to hear that you are not close to the Lafayette. I hope you have a nice independent cinema near you VS a GIANT SOULLESS MULTI-PLEX!
The Lafayette Theatre looks like a fabulous theatre! Unfortunately, since I live six hours away, and don’t know anybody out in that general area, I’m not able to make the six-hour trip for any movies, regardless of the time of day or evening.
Correction the times for Harry Potter are 1:15pm 4:30pm and 7:45pm Wed-Sunday 16th-20th.
Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince WILL open on Wednesday the 16th at Rockland’s ONLY MOvie Palace!
The first show stars at 1:30pm! There is a mid afternoon show Saban Theatre:30pm and one evening show at 7:30pm. The schedule is the same for the rest of the week and the weekend!
Don’t forget Friday night it is Jeff Barker playing the Ben Hall Memorial Mighty Wurlitzer!!!
Thanks, Peter.
