Hi Adam, I've never entered one of your contests before, but I've admired your generosity and class every year that you've done them. Let me be the first to enter this year (unless someone beats me to it while I type this!). Anyway, here it goes: Please enter me for the Die Hard draw And as for my answer to your question, I guess for me it goes to which of my top favorite films have I NOT seen on the big screen yet? I've seen my favorite Hitchcocks, every Spielberg, my favorite Peckinpah's, my favorite Scorsese's , (most of my) favorite Kubricks, the Godfather films, etc. But the 2 films, amongst my favourites of all time, would be 2001: A Space Odyssey and Lawrence of Arabia, both of which I have never seen on the big screen. Standard answers I know, but it's movies like those that the big screen is made for! Oh, and let me throw in Fantasia too, I didn't get to that one in it's last theatrical re-release, so I'd like to catch that one too! Thanks so much, Darren

Thank you Adam, for another splendid Christmas contest. You may put me down for the Harry Potter set. For the second part of the entry qualifications, does it have to be one particular film? If so, I’m extremely torn between El Cid and Sleeping Beauty (two of my favorite films of all time and both Super Technirama 70 films that would look absolutely stunning on the big screen).

Very generous, Adam, thank you for your continued festive frolic! I’d like to put a slip with my name on it into the Goblet of Fire (oops, Doyle ) for the Harry Potter set. The Die Hard set would be wasted on me and I’ve already sprung for the Dracula. The film I would like to have seen was actually released in my lifetime, Kozintsev’s version of Hamlet (1964). The reasons I didn’t get to see it are legion, however, not least the trickiness of piercing the Iron Curtain from West Yorkshire into Krushchev’s USSR. Being five years old would also have been an issue. But to see it on the big screen, knowing what I know now, would be glorious. The language wouldn’t be a problem, knowing the play moderately well, but the main reason would be to hear the wonderful Shostakovich score in place, with an audience full of musically-literate Muscovites or (preferably) Leningraders. Not as glamorous as most of the other candidates for this excellent prize, I’m quite sure, but that’s my two penn’orth. Merry (early) Christmas!

I'll go for the Harry Potter and the Die Hard. The movie I would love to see because I never got to see it at the movies would definitely be Star Wars. I was born the same year it came out but only got to see it on cable and Home Video and at that point never got to truly appreciate it's beautiful widescreen format or let alone something that special on the big screen. Same goes with Empire Strikes Back which there's no doubt looked dynamic on the big screen. I did see Return of the Jedi in 1983 and was a great experience, but to truly experience the magic of the original Star Wars would be grand. Although there are others like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Rocky, The Godfather, Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind which would come a very close second, but SW IS definitely the movie for me.

What a terrific chance for somebody to win some outstanding music. Well, I'm going to put my name in for Harry Potter, Dracula and Die Hard (because you just never know). I'm having visions of that Potter set flying through my head though. The movie I wished I could have seen on the big screen during it's original run would be Raiders of the Lost Ark. I've actually seen it on large screens but I would have loved to have seen it when it took everybody by surprise in its original release back during the time when just hearing the names "Steven Spielberg" and "George Lucas" set imaginations wild.

Nice treat! Well, I would like DHard. The one film I most regret Not seeing on initial release is "Good the Bad, the Ugly". I have a vivid childhood memory of playing the 45rpm single -over and over- at a friend's house. He asked if I had the seen the film. I replied "No, I heard it is too violent"* Stupido! Anyway, it has since gone on to be an all-time favorite and one in which I have seen in revival houses. But boy, I wish I saw it in '68! Bruce *I was basing my opinion on contemporary film critics. One reason I hate them

Let me guess: it is five hours long!
