The absolute best cinema experience I have ever had was a series of 70mm prints with 6 track dolby that were shown at the Gaumont Grand Ecran pl Italie in Paris (sadly closed now http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_%C3%89cran_Italie). I remember 2001 was a religious experience, and The Abyss was incredible. I saw one of the Imax 70mm prints of Interstellar and was not so impressed I think because the viewing experience was uncomfortable both the Imax seating and the dimensions of the screen.

Thanks, I'll have to look at "Ain't Them Bodies Saints" now. :)

I saw Selma yesterday and noticed that the night interior scenes had very high black-levels like the projection had a problem or the film was not encoded properly. I am wondering if anyone else noticed this and it was an artistic choice. I read Bradford Young uses available light and some other aspects of the cinematography were unusual. I pre-ordered the bluray but I'm very curious if this is how he intended it to look. I have seen a couple films on Amazon streaming where the black-levels were clearly too high and it freaks me out that there isn't better quality control with content on services like that.
