Famous Films in Famous Places



If you happen to be around northern Texas tonight, you should stop by the Royal Theater in Archer City to see a screening of The Last Picture Show (1971) at 9:15pm.  This evening wraps up an awesome month long project by the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema called the Texas Monthly Rolling Roadshow.  All month the project has paid homage to the 10 greatest Texas films ever by screening them in the locations where they were filmed.  And the best part, is that admission is free!  


Shown in 35mm and preceded by a reel of vintage trailers, you can rediscover these classic films on the big screen and journey back in time.  Check out their website for future dates as the Rolling Roadshow screens "famous movies in famous places."





All of the trailers for the selected movies are on the Apple website and each films' poster was  re-imagined by artist Jason Munn.  Simple and to the point, but really visually striking - they're super cool.  



Munn has designed many other posters, which you can see on his website.
