Atomic Popcorn sure has a dandy for all of you local folks with us in the Maryland/DC area. The famed Senator theater on York Rd is showing two of the greatest films of all time: “The Godfather” and “The Godfather, Part II”.

Below is the press release:

New 35mm restorations of THE GODFATHER and THE GODFATHER, PART II, Francis Ford Coppola’s masterpieces, will run at the Senator Theatre, in an exclusive Baltimore one-week engagement, from Friday, October 10^th through Thursday, October 16^th

More than three decades after they both won the Academy®Award for Best Picture, Coppola’s iconic classics have been meticulously restored by Paramount Pictures, overseen by Coppola himself. Both movies underwent extensive frame-by-frame examination and restoration using state-of-the-art digital technology. Robert A. Harris of the Film Preserve supervised the restorations under the direction of Coppola and cinematographer Gordon Willis.

Ranked at the very top of both critics’ and audiences’ “Best Of” lists, and the recipients of a total of nine Academy Awards, The Godfather and The Godfather, Part II will be shown exclusively in Baltimore at the Senator Theatre for a single week, with back-to-back screenings. Paramount Pictures will be presenting both films theatrically in a limited number of cities, including Los Angeles and San Francisco, in conjunction with the release of the DVD and Blu-ray release of The Godfather, The Coppola Restoration collection on September 23.

“Possibly the greatest movie ever made.”

– Stanley Kubrick on THE GODFATHER

“The daring of Part II is that it enlarges the scope and deepens the meaning of the first film. Visually, Part II is far more complexly beautiful than the first, just as it’s thematically richer, more shadowed, fuller… An epic vision of the corruption of America.”

– Pauline Kael on THE GODFATHER, PART II
