If you live in the Dallas or Oak Cliff area you really should come by the Texas Theatre on Friday night and join us for a special showing of the best James Bond film of all time (in our opinion), the one and only GOLDFINGER starring Sean Connery! It’s a 35mm print shown on the big screen, the way 007 is meant to be seen. If you’ve never watched this in a proper theater, now is the time to change that.
Bigfanboy.com will be hosting the Friday night 9pm show, and we’ll have a few different Bond posters from recent years to give away to some lucky fans – one may end up being yours! You could come watch the movie in classic fashion, and maybe pick up a cool movie poster to take home! The Texas Theatre is a fantastic repertory cinema house, but they occasionally show first run features as well.
You don’t have to do anything special, just buy yourself a ticket for the 9:00pm show on Friday (September 20) and look for us in the lobby – we’ll be giving away some posters before the 9pm show. Come join us Friday night for all the fun. You can also RSVP at the official Facebook Event Page
NOTE: The movie is actually being shown Thursday through Sunday, but we’re only attending and doing giveaways at the Friday night show. If you can’t come Friday, you still have three other chances to see it.
A few notes – if you’ve never been to the Texas Theatre, this is a great place to see movies in a classic environment. Painstakingly restored by the fine folks at Aviation Cinemas, the main house features an impressive 650 seats. Perhaps best known in history as the location where Lee Harvey Oswald was arrested, you’ll immediately feel the nostalgia upon entering the doors of this stylish building. The Texas Theatre also has a full bar and plenty of lounge seating, which is a great place to have a drink and talk about the film you’re about to see… or just saw! We’ll be hosting the Friday 9pm showing of GOLDFINGER on September 20.
