: Why can't they just play Raiders on a local Imax screen or something? :(

: Not to be a noodge, but... It wouldn't look very good. IMAX movies work because they're shot in a big-ass special 70mm format. If you showed a 'normal' film like Raiders, the film grain would be overwhelmingly large and distracting, like blowing up a polaroid to a billboard.

:Actually, I just recently saw Last Crusade on IMAX and it was incredibly breath taking. It was a Special Edition with some aditional footage, like more of the young Indy in his house, and much more!
