I wonder how much of this is because we are increasingly watching movies at home or on portable devices with lots of distractions around us? I've seen 2001 in 70mm a few times in recent years in a nice theater (and I'll see it again when it comes back), and it's very engrossing in a dark theater with no technology. You can let the entire film and all of its implications just wash over you. You can't get up, nor can you check your phone. You have nothing else to do other than just be in the moment. This is harder to do at home. People should see more seminal movies in theaters, and I wish more theaters showed them. I live by American Film Institute's theater in the DC area, which is how I am able to see all of this stuff, but many other people do not. I think it's a big miss that more theaters don't show older movies year around.
