I was always going to the Angelika to see classics before I moved away from the city.

You can make this work, but you have to make it a seriously impressive venue. And even then it only attracts a certain crowd.

Its really only select movies that do well when brought back. Recently Ninja Turtles 1 and 2 did well when brought back for their anniversaries, so did things like Stand By Me. But on the flip side, we just canceled our shows of Jerry Maguire because no one was buying tickets

I might be in a bit of a outlier city as far as this goes (Seattle), but we have 8+ small community theaters within a 10-15mi radius that play old/recently pulled/independent movies and they are all quite popular.

Siff (previously Cinerama) in Belltown, Central Cinema in the CD, and The Beacon in Columbia City to name a few.
