I would strongly suggest on opening weekend showing "Endless Summer", the surfing movie classic. Perfect film for a summer relaunch of the Village Theater.

This is going to be fun for Coronado.  Especially for young people.  Great to be able to see a movie without going across the bridge!

We enjoyed movies at the old Village Theater in Coronado when we moved here almost 20 years ago. I'm so excited to have a beautiful new venue in our own backyard, and for our youth to be able to enjoy the escape films offer without the hassle (and cost) of dropping them off for hours at a mall!

Village Theater would seem a perfect place for morning / afternoon run of old classics.  I understand wanting to see first run movies here, but one wonders if Coronado alone can support that.  Will people come from elsewhere to see a first run movie given that parking is a problem and the bus schedules are being cut back?  

I do believe that people will come to see classics, independents, foreign films, and old time movies (which were made for the BIG SCREEN as TV had not yet been invented) -- offering these in the morning and afternoons when families are at work and children are at school might provide some added revenue.

As it is, I am looking forward to seeing whatever you offer -- I want to support the return of cinema to Coronado.  

Thanks, Elizabeth
