When I was in college there were half a dozen old theaters in town (Denver) that showed great movies of the past, two for a dollar, changing films daily. For example, a week of Bogart movies, or Chaplin movies, or Ingmar Bergman movies, or Screwball comedies, or Cary Grant movies, or John Ford movies, or Truffaut movies. It was a great way to gain an appreciation of movie history. But those days are gone.

They did play old movies at the Rialto and are doing that now at the Sharon on Tuesdays through Thursdays.

I saw about 8 horror movies at the Rialto during a film festival. Old Frankenstein, the Mummy, the Invisible Man, Dracula flicks. This was around Spring of 2020.
