You're in Canada, right? Do you live anywhere near cinemas that show retrospectives or classic films? I know there are lots of cinemas like that in the US.

Here in the UK, there aren't so many dedicated cinemas for that (mainly places like the BFI, or cult cinemas like the Prince Charles in London), but rereleases have become more common in the digital age as they are easier to distribute (the only advantage over 35 or 70mm in my not at all humble opinion - I really miss celluloid). There was actually a rerelease of Manhattan a couple of years ago, but I saw a 70mm print in the mid 90s at Southampton's magnificent Harbour Lights cinema.

Harbour Lights was originally a BFI funded cinema which opened whilst I was a student studying film in Southampton. I practically lived there as you can imagine, and became friendly with the staff. I would suggest seasons and programmes based on what the media/film students were studying, so we got film noir seasons, westerns seasons, classic musicals seasons, Hitchcock seasons, horror classics... In fact, name your classic film, and I've probably at some point seen it in the cinema (Casablanca, West Side Story, Gone with the Wind, The Searchers, Psycho, etc, etc).

I confess, I did sneak in a few films I particularly wanted to see on the big screen that weren't necessarily relevant to our course - 70mm prints of Die Hard, Raiders of the Lost Ark , Close Encounters of the Third Kind, among them. In the case of Manhattan, that was part of a Woody Allen retrospective. Oh, and we also had the UK's first ever Comedy Film Festival, which I also had a hand in planning (everything from Some Like It Hot to Ealing classics like The Lavender Hill Mob, Jacques Tati's Playtime, Withnail and I, Airplane!, The Man With Two Brains, A Fish Called Wanda, debuts from up and coming talents like Edgar Wright - the little-seen A Fistful of Fingers... you name it).

One time when my father visited me at University, we saw a film together at Harbour Lights. He said the way we were treated was as if the Queen had arrived for a visit! Hahahahahaha!

Also, when I graduated, Harbour Lights hit financial trouble, and was eventually bought out by UK cinema chain Picture House (which traditionally shows less mainstream films). It is still a great cinema, but it's not what it was during those halcyon student days. A friend of mine living in Southampton after I left blamed the cinema's subsequent misfortunes on my absence. He's joking. At least I think he's joking. Now I'm not so sure as I did drag along hoards of film/media students to many screenings with evangelical zeal.

Sorry for this massively tangential comment. I rather went on a trip down amnesia lane. I hope you get to see Manhattan on the big screen some time. Definitely one of my favourite Woody Allen films (less funny than Sleeper or Annie Hall, but still a gem and that cinematography is incredible).
