The Heights has an amazing history of getting the absolute best prints of older, classic films. The absolute, by far single best presentation of any film I’ve ever seen was “Oklahoma” at the Heights about three years ago, in its original Todd-A-O format. I am not kidding, it looked infinitely better than any DVD I’ve ever seen, and was so fresh and immediate you could almost forget you were watching a film and not actors on the stage! And the SECOND best presentation also happened to be at the Heights: “Singin' In The Rain” about two years ago. These are people who clearly care about the quality of what they’re showing to their customers.;

I’ve vacationed in Hollywood twice (I’m from Minnesota) and I made sure to visit and see movies at the Chinese both times. The first time, in 1988, I had one of the most unique movie-going experiences I’ve known. I saw “Memories Of Me” (starring Billy Crystal) there, and walked through the famous courtyard in order to see a film featuring a scene that was set in the very same courtyard I had just walked through…

Here’s hoping the Chinese will remain standing as long as Hollywood itself does.
