I have not been to the movies in a long time. I am not up-to-date. Once my former wife and I watched movies several times a week. In Oregon, we had the Fifth Avenue Cinema with is two small theaters and double features. We had the Movie House with an art house setting, film festivals, and interesting offerings. We had a film museum at the Portland Museum of Art and we enjoyed mainline movies on replay at the famous Blue Mouse. Even once an intimate place screened art and experimental films in one of the Portland neighborhood. The Museum invited famous directors, young directors, and historians to discuss films. The Movie House sponsored film festivals.

We could watch four movies at the Fifth Avenue on a Saturday or maybe a Saturday and Sunday. We would catch American movies at the Blue Mouse while we waited for a bus home.

In New Orleans, we had the Prytania Theater and then a cinema on Canal Street next to the Vieux Carre. Then we enjoyed to old Bravo premium cable channel, then VHS videos, and then DVDs. We saw many films. I no longer have those riches. When I was working, I collected DVDs of some favorite films but now that is not really possible, though I every much want to buy the new release of Goddard’s “1 or 2 Things I know about Her.” I have to mine my memory to reflect on films.

the most notable OMISSION from your "eliminated classics" is CITY OF GOD, from Fernando Meirelles and Katia Lund.. I think this is now an accepted classic, but I put it on my Beyond the Canon list. A new "classic" moving up the rankings will be WALL-E, just for artwork along, but also a great story and a warning for mankind.
