“We have literally never been more back!”
“Last night, we lit up the beloved Hollywood landmark, The Cinerama Dome, with a nod to Columbia Pictures first-ever premiere there: Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Today we welcome a new era for a cathedral of cinema unlike any other.”

Quentin Tarantino believes 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' is better than 'Star Wars'.
“Of course, I liked ‘Star Wars.’ What’s not to like?” Tarantino says. “But I remember — and this is not a ‘but’ in a negative way but in a good way. The movie completely carried me along and I was just rocking and rolling with these characters. ... When the lights came on, I felt like a million dollars. And I looked around and had this moment of recognition, thinking, ‘Wow! What a time at the movies!’
“Now, that’s not necessarily my favorite exact type of film,” he continues. “At the end of the day, I’m more of a ‘Close Encounters [of the Third Kind]’ guy, just the bigger idea and Spielberg setting out to make an epic for regular people, not just cinephiles. Few films had the kind of climax that ‘Close Encounters’ had. It blew audiences away.”
Do you agree with Quentin?
