Look out Oscar, here they come!

Beginning this weekend (actually a couple of months ago with HURT LOCKER), we'll be bringing a series of films into Estes Park that are strong contenders for the coveted Academy Awards.

These films are a world apart from the cookie cutter crowd pleasers that we rely on to make money to pay the bills. These are real movies: plot, scenery and all. The problem with 'real movies' is that they don't drag in every family in town as a result of national in your face advertising.. so they are a bigger risk for us to book. You have to be paying attention to catch these films.

So, pay attention! It's a great time, watching the movies that will be nominated... and we appreciate when you appreciate good films, which means we can bring more of them to - you!

It's always about the money isn't it? Well, yes. It has to be viable or we can't do it (very often).

Tell your friends that Oscar season is around the corner- get them signed up for the Reel Fan newsletter by forwarding this email to them, and let the reel/real movie watching begin!

It's also the season that we offer some interesting alternative opportunities to catch a movie: MidWeek Matinees (details on the right), TalkBack to the Movies, and trivia to keep you engaged, and hand out some nifty prizes. Stay closely tuned to this newsletter.
