The cinema going experience makes all the difference. I watched plenty of classic movies on dedicated cable stations, but I didn't really see Lawrence of Arabia until I saw it on a big screen (thank christ my University has a wonderful cinema program).

I absolutely agree with you, but I find I run into a problem in that so many of these films have been discussed, analyzed, and dissected that I can't have a genuine reaction. After watching both documentary series on 70's cinema, I decided it was time I sat down to actually watch a number of these films in their…
