    What GAR films have you seen on the BIG screen and how many times?

    The title asks the question, but here goes anyway:

    What George A. Romero films have you seen on the BIG screen, and how many times have you seen them?

    (Yes, this is a big nerdy pissing contest, but aren't those just a blast?!?)

    I've seen Night of the Living Dead 3 times on the big screen (twice at the Music Box in Chicago, once at a drive-in theatre in Aurora).

    I've seen Dawn of the Dead twice on the big screen (once at the 25th anniversary of Dawn celebration at the Pittsburgh Comicon).

    I've seen Day of the Dead once on the big screen (at Flashback Weekend in Chicago).

    I've seen Land of the Dead twice on the big screen (both times on opening day - once in the suburbs in the afternoon, and then later that night in the city).

    Okay, now how about you?

    I saw NOTLD in '68 on the big screen and actually I believe I saw all of them either at the drive in theater or theater and I enjoyed every one of them!!! NOTHING like that surround sound!!!
    I love the surround soo much my hubby surprised me with a cheap set for Christmas this past year...only thing my tv is too old (over10yrs) alot of the dvd's I play in it goes dark.
    But, I still watch my zombie movies and eventho I cant see them real good I have the theater feel of it. YAY!! Oooh forgot to answer how many times I went to see them...hmm one time each!
    DVD now hundreds~~THOUSANDS of times!!

    I saw Night 90 once on opening night. I saw Land 4 times in the theatre. I saw Night68 outdoors at Horrorfind 2003. I saw Dawn 78 (full screen Cannes extended edit, belonging to Lenny Lies) at the 2003 Pittsburgh Comicon.

    i have seen all 5 dead films on the big screen.

    night 68 4 times (all on halloween) and day twice at an art theater in cincinnati (which sadly has become the cincinnati shakespeare company - no i have nothing against old will but it was nice to see old horror and bergman movies on the big screen)

    i have seen dawn 3 times- twice at aforementioned art theater and once at the danbury theater one summer when they were playing fri/sat midnight showings of classic horror flicks. saw friday the 13th I, II, fright night, suspiria, and halloween the same summer.

    night 90 twice when it came out originally.

    land twice when it came out.

    I went to see "Day" on it's U.K release at a near empty Odeon in Leeds.
    Saw all three, one after the other at a special showing at the wonderful Hyde Park cinema, also in Leeds. What a night, I'll tell you about it some day, think Terrence Mckenna meets George Romero, .Don't try this at home kids. seriously.
    Saw "Land" in a soulless multiscreen, great movie, crap venue.
    Part of the joy of this stuff is the places we were at in our lives and the friends we saw these movies with, not to metion the reluctant ones that were dragged along and ended up loving these great films.
    Btw, I first saw "Dawn" in the heady days before the stupid video recordings act
    put payed to our fun. It's one of those thoughts that slaps you in the face and makes you think; "f@*k !! I'm getting old.

    Of course LAND was the only film I saw on the big screen when it was released (and that was only once), but as for the others, they were all at special screenings or film fests......

    NOTLD - 2x
    DAWN - 1x
    DAY - 1x
    NOTLD '90 - 1x
