It's the big 5-0 coming up for the Marathon.

Should it be an All Greatest Hits lineup? Half and half? Specific film suggestions?

i asked chat gpt
can lucas screen a personal print of star wars a new hope.
ChatGPT

George Lucas retains some unique rights regarding "Star Wars," but Disney holds the majority of control over the franchise. However, Lucas has previously granted special permissions for screenings of his personal prints. For example, he approved a rare screening of a pre-Special Edition version of "A New Hope" at an event hosted by the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences​ (Jedi News)​​ (New Statesman)​.

While Disney owns the overall rights to the franchise, Lucas still possesses personal copies of the original films and can potentially screen them privately or under special circumstances, provided it doesn’t conflict with Disney’s rights and commercial interests.

Oh, yes - for years. When we did the Rocky Horror sing a long, that may have been an opportunity. But, alas, I think it's an idea who's time has passed

Hopefully, TRIFFIDS' restoration will be done soon.

INVADERS is always fun. Too bad last time it showed at the 'Thon (SF/28, 2003) there were too many a-holes in the crowd who mocked it.  Angry

svengoolie said that the sets were all designed and built for a 3d movie. when the day of shooting arrived, they could not get a 3d camera. they shot 2d and the result is not altogether unpleasant or detracted.

Star Wars: A New Hope and the Empire Strikes Back have both been shown, but Return of the Jedi has not, so that's a possibility.

Now that they are all controlled by Disney it's real tough. DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL was difficult enough,.
