Remake??? Oh no. Please say you're joking. There is only one Snake Plissken.
I saw Escape from NY on the big screen last fall in Boston. They played Escape from NY, The Thing, and Big Trouble in Little China. College crowd, and they loved them all especially Big Trouble, but the crowd for The Thing was hardcore Carpenter/Horror. Also caught They Live, The Warriors (fantastic time) and the original Night of the Living Dead, which was super cool to see on the big screen instead of TV.
It was like my memories of seeing movies in the '80s- everyone was into it, and cheering. Awesome.
Coolidge Corner movies at midnight each Saturday. They play some cool stuff. Saw Bladerunner last month.

This summer's offerings are not my favorite batch but Silence of the Lambs?? I'll be there. Maybe for Friday 13th too. Harold and Maude is funny as hell, but I'm not sure I'll devote a "home at quarter to three in the morning" day to it.
They play Jaws over labor day. Awesome, awesome time.
