We saw it many years ago in Brooklyn at BAM. It was so great seeing it on the big screen!

I was lucky enough to see it in Chicago for the first complete screening it ever had after being put in the vault. The Gateway Theatre was a sell out as we became the first viewers of this classic in 79 years. It was amazing. And for an extra special bonus it was introduced by his Granddaughter Suzanne Lloyd. Pure bliss.

I just discovered your website and I love it. We are a book loving, lego making, binge watching kind of family so this content fits in right with our needs. We also travel a lot, and I we definitely need to carry ton of activity ideas to keep her 5 year old engaged. Also, we have noticed that increased TV time is directly proportionate to bad behavior but we also want to built an appreciation of visual arts. This article is brilliant suggestion on how to watch the classics with your kids!

I look forward to trying out silent films with my kids. We also do not have a TV, but we do have a projector, which we pull out when we want to watch movies. We just take a picture off a wall and angle the chairs and sofa towards the "screen." If you are yearning for that big screen, I highly recommend it. Best, when you're done, you just put it away!

Thank you for the inspiration!
