most of those are on DVD
true but i dig goin to the movies. just got back from Midnight Cowboy, on (sometimes rather battered) 35mm, with a pretty good-size crowd, and i do think i received the film differently than i would have otherwise.

surprised you haven't seen The Wiz though! iirc it's pretty flawed but worth it for the design work and (some of) the songs by themselves. and yeah some cool use of rather offbeat new york locations in places.
― ﴿→ ☺ (Doctor Casino), Thursday, 6 July 2017 00:13 (six years ago) link
yeah, but for the unseen i listed, i can live with DVDs. (Except I will probably go to They Might Be Giants.) I've seen Midnight Cowboy projected, probably more than once.
I was in high school when The Wiz came out and it got horrible reviews.

I always feel a tinge of loyalty to the people I went to high school with, for whom it was a beloved childhood classic watched many times over, and hailed with delight when it was wheeled into the classroom as study-hall filler at the end of the year or after the PSATs or whatever the occasion was for devoting school time to a "fun" movie. Not having grown up with it I've never been able to quite love it, but I do think there's some neat stuff to look at. Feels like it'd be the most fun with a big audience - it crops up as an outdoor summer movie pretty often and I think that makes sense, but it's also a cool choice in this series.

Yeah, saw it a few years back. It's very good, very clearly his breakout film, but a bit less personal than a lot of what he did otherwise.
