There is a FANTASTIC FRONT PAGE article highlighting The Lafayette in the Journal News today! Here is the link! View link

One of the highlights being a 3D Projector will be installed!!

Now all the current Hollywood digital 3D film fare, can be enjoyed at the grand old Lafayette!

Jeff Barker playing the Ben Hall Memorial Mighty Wurlitzer organ before the film on Friday and Saturday nights, 3D images popping out right in front of your eyes!

Another reason NOT to go off to the BIG BAD MALL!!

Wow – “Vertigo”. I figure it hasn’t been shown at the Lafayette since 1958, right?

Just waiting for one final date to be confirmed to announce the full schedule, but here’s the first three weeks:

10/3 – Angels with Dirty Faces (James Cagney, Pat O'Brien, Humphrey Bogart)
10/10 – Night of the Hunter (Robert Mitchum, Shelley Winters)
10/17 – Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo (James Stewart, Kim Novak)

The remainder is pretty good, too. :)

Yes, Nelson Page has bought out Boston Culinary’s interest in the theatre and has complete control of the operations again. Those are the correct showtimes for this weekend.

I just went to the Boston Culinary Group web site to look up show times for Inglourious Basterds and saw that the Lafayette is no longer listed! Google cache shows that it was still there on 8/25. Aside from “regaining operational control”, did the theatre actually change hands again?

On a side note, I believe the show times are 7:40pm tonight and tomorrow night and 1:45pm, 5:00pm, and 8:15pm for the Labor Day weekend—someone correct me if I am wrong here.

Thanks agains to all involved for keeping this Theatre alive and showing classics!

I should also thank Phil Tisi if he was the one responsible for me finally getting to see “Marty” on the big screen.

Looking forward to seeing the new schedule. It’s just like the good old days (2004-2005 :)

Thank You, Peter for sharing this terrific (and unexpected) news!

Very glad to hear an agreement was reached between Mr. Page and the BCG.
Also, “thank you” to Phil Tisi for his efforts to help keep classic films alive at the Lafayette during the interim period.

Does this mean that “Tisi’s Top Terrors” will not be playing on Halloween weekend?

Just a quick note to let our friends & supporters on Cinema Treasures know that as of Friday, September 4, Nelson Page will be regaining operational control of the Lafayette Theatre from Boston Culinary Group. The attraction this Labor Day weekend is “Inglourious Basterds” which ends on September 7. As of now, the Lafayette will be closed from 9/8 through 9/17 for some painting & re-decorating.

We are all very excited about being back at the Lafayette after this 7 month hiatus. The Big Screen Classics Saturday morning film series will begin on October 3 – final bookings are being confirmed right now for us to announce the full schedule next week. Be sure to visit the official website at www.bigscreenclassics.com for more details as they come available.

Thanks for all your supprt and we’ll see you there!

Hi elm0catt,MPol,fred and all of the friends of the Lafayette,

I hope I have good news for everyone… I just recieved an e-mail from Mr. Tisi’s office at the Dept. of Parks and Recreation, Ramapo, NJ that informed me that the Fall Film Classic program (not sure of the exact name they will be using in the future)will begin on Saturday, Oct. 3rd

The schedule will be announced the week after next, so let’s keep our fingers crossed and our eyes on our e-mails and this website for further announcements.

Hey Peter, elm0catt from the backrow here, new to this pretty cool site. what info do you have regarding the fall classics in suffern? At the final show of the Spring season it was announced that funding was not in place for the fall (a first in the six years of the program), they were hoping for the best, and if it happens it would probably start sometime in September. I’ve been to the theater twice in recent weeks and there is no information posted there although I did not get to talk to James. nothing on Town of Ramapo, Tisi’s, or St.Lawrence’s websites. Your posts seem pretty positive and confident that it is starting in September. Again what info do you have? Talk to you soon!
