We might be fully ensconced in the streaming era, but the magic of movies is alive and well. For the second year in a row, Turner Classic Movies will partner with Fathom Events to bring classic films from previous decades to theaters so that new audiences can witness them unlike ever before.

"These 14 titles were released over five decades and include Best Picture winners, epic storytelling, astounding direction, legendary star-power and memorable soundtracks, all of which have captured the hearts of film lovers and defined moviemaking magic," Fathom Events Vice President of Studio Relations Tom Lucas said in a press release.

"The TCM Big Screen Classics series presents a unique opportunity for movie lovers to experience some of the most beloved classics of all time, on the big screen and with a live audience, as they were originally intended to be shown,” Genevieve McGillicuddy, vice president of partnerships and brand activation at Turner Classic Movies, added.
