EGYPTIAN THEATRE

Reminder: This Weekend

December 5 – 7, 2014

Dick Miller, Roger Corman, Ernest Dickerson, Rick Baker In Person!  Dick Miller Tribute The name may not ring a bell, but the face surely will – Dick Miller is one of Hollywood’s favorite character actors. One of the busiest members of Roger Corman’s stock company, Joe Dante has made it a point to use the actor in nearly all of his films. Corman and Dante are just a few of the screen luminaries who sing the actor’s praises. Roger Corman, special effects guru Rick Baker, director Ernest Dickerson and Dick Miller himself, will appear in person after GREMLINS I & II, TALES FROM THE CRYPT, A BUCKET OF BLOOD and WAR OF THE SATELLITES.

Christopher Nolan In Person!  Reaching for the Stars: The Films of Christopher Nolan

Join us for a retrospective of his films, including MEMENTO, INSOMNIA and THE DARK NIGHT trilogy, plus a 70mm screening of INTERSTELLAR with Christopher Nolan in person! The 12/12 screening of INTERSTELLAR is sold out, but there will be a stand by line and people are starting to advertise tickets for sale on the Facebook event on the Egyptian Theatre Facebook page.

Take a docent-led tour of the legendary 1922 Egyptian Theatre followed by a screening of the history film FOREVER HOLLYWOOD (exclusively shown at the Egyptian Theatre and featuring interviews with over 20 actors and filmmakers with narration by Sharon Stone). See what it would have been like to be in a Grauman stage show with a visit to the dressing rooms and singers’ boxes.

Terry Jones in person! A Funny Sense of Direction: The Wild Ride of Terry Jones

December 13 & 14, 2014

A day after his appearance at the Aero, Terry Jones swings by the Egyptian for a Python double bill – Cannes Grand Prix winner MONTY PYTHON’S THE MEANING OF LIFE and the beloved cult classic MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, both directed by Jones! Comedy fans may know him best for TV appearances as lower-class British housewives, Spanish Inquisitors or naked organists. But Terry Jones’ work behind the camera is just as memorable as his Monty Python characters. He joins us in person for screenings of MONTY PYTHON AND THE HOLY GRAIL, MONTY PYTHON’S THE MEANING OF LIFE, LIFE OF BRIAN and ERIK THE VIKING.

Would You Like it if We Turned the Lights on While the Movie is Running?When you text and e-mail during a film you are “turning the lights on” in the theatre and bothering your fellow film lovers. We have had a number of complaints lately that the light from phone screens and other device screens have been disturbing the movie viewing experience in our theaters. Don’t ruin it for everyone. If you have something urgent to text or e-mail, go out in the lobby. We don’t want to create more of a disturbance by asking you to leave in the middle of a show.
