For those in the Los Angeles area, the Silent Movie Theatre celebrates Memorial Day weekend in a manner both somewhat traditional (with a barbecue) and inventive, on Monday, May 25. Operating under the philosophy that almost all movies have a certain, if tiny, reservoir of goodwill out of the gate, they’re screening the first five minutes (sans credits) of 15 movies, with most if not all the films being unavailable on DVD. After an hour-long, outdoor dinner break (bring your own meat to grill!), the audience then gets to vote on which film out of the 15 to watch in its entirety. Festivities kick off at 6 p.m., and tickets are $10. For more information on the event, and the Silent Movie Theatre in general, click here.
