Hey there, time traveller!

Beginning in September at Silver City Polo Park, the usual suspects will be rounded up, the hills will be alive, and we won’t be in Kansas anymore.
The best films in Hollywood history will once again be shown on the big screen as part of Cineplex Entertainment’s Classic Film Series. Movies such as Casablanca, The Sound of Music and The Wizard of Oz will be screened for the first time in digital format in cinemas across the country.
Pat Marshall, Cineplex’s vice-president of communications, says the program is "designed to showcase popular movies that in most cases have not been seen before on the big screen in a digital or HD format."
The Classic Film Series schedule includes:
Casablanca on Wednesday, Sept. 8 and Sunday, Sept. 26
Psycho on Wednesday, Oct. 13 and Sunday, Oct. 31
The Maltese Falcon on Wednesday, Nov. 17 and Sunday, Nov. 28
