FIRST FEATURES

Before Kubrick took us on A Space Odyssey, he gave us Fear and Desire. Before Psycho, there was Blackmail. Before Beau Travail, there was Chocolat. Before The Godfather, there was… Dementia 13?Before Citizen Kane there was… Well, Citizen Kane.Some debut feature films have since became classics, while others somehow got lost along the way. Well, we found them, watched them, packaged them and now are shipping them to a theater near you.Our compilation of films is comprised of the premier work from Bigelow to Bergman and all in between. Although the styles and approaches may be vastly different among these directors, they all share the same idea: If you can imagine something, you can bring it to life. And it is within these imaginations where we have been able to share moments with complete strangers from across the globe.Because since the Nickelodeon Theater first opened in Pittsburgh, PA on June 19, 1905, there has never been a better way to experience a film than in a movie theater.
