Movie-goers at Goodrich Quality theaters are in for a treat this fall and winter. In the tri-city area, National Cinema Media is focusing on showing operas and classics on the big screen.
Flashback Cinema is every Sunday and Wednesday at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. These shows haven’t been seen on the big screen in years, some even decades. Casablanca, which came out during World War II, is showing Nov. 13 and 16. A Christmas Story is playing Nov. 20 and 23. Finally, Polar Express is showing Nov. 27 and 30. Movies such as Psycho, Halloween, and Princess Bride have already been shown.
Even “Dr. Who” fans are getting in on the action. On Nov. 14, “Doctor Who: the Power of the Daleks” will be showing. This is part of the “Fathom Events” clustering of movies and television shows. They will also put on Metropolitan Opera with the Magic Flute playing on Dec. 3, and L’Amour de Loin on Dec. 10 and 21.
All of this is in Bay City, Midland, and Saginaw Goodrich theaters. If you are a movie-buff and love movies, you may want to get a Frequent Movie Goer membership card. You earn 100 points for every dollar you spend on tickets and concessions. You can get a Reel Deal with a Large Drink and Large Popcorn for 11,000 points, for instance.
