With film projection an increasing rarity in theaters across the country, The Music Box Theatre's upcoming retrospective, "Son of 70MM Film Festival," should register as a must-see event for any self-respecting cinephile.

The other seven selections are Richard Fleischer's 1968 musical, "Doctor Dolittle," Stanley Kubrick's 1960 historical drama, "Spartacus," Douglas Trumbull's 1983 cult classic, "Brainstorm," Paul Thomas Anderson's 2012 spellbinder, "The Master," Steven Lisberger's 1982 action/adventure, "TRON," Stanley Kramer's 1963 slapstick behemoth, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World" and Franklin J. Schaffner's 1970 biopic, "Patton."
Tickets are $12 and a limited number of festival passes will be available for $70. The full festival lineup will soon be available on the Music Box's official site.
