Best Theatrical Screenings of Previously Released Films, 2009


In many ways, I'm a purist, this I know. As lists fly left and right of best and worst cinematic experiences, I would like to start adding my own. While I'm still waiting to theatrically experience several releases like The Maid, Nine, The White Ribbon, and The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus before my final "Best" lists are revealed, below is my list of theatrical screenings this year of previously released films, whether run as re-releases or simply being shown in a random series by an independent theater. Please stay tuned for the following lists: Tragic Dung Heap Cinema, Best of 2009, Best Acting Accolades, etc.
