I live in a small town and there are no theaters that show any films other than new releases.  Having said that, the best film I ever saw in the theater was "Road to Perdition."  A great movie.  Also, I have to say this.  This might not sound like an intellectual comment, but I think we can all agree that it's true.  Sometimes watching a movie with tons of explosions and great special effects in the theater is an experience.  I saw Independence Day when it came out, and I must say that was amazing.
