Films at the Hippodrome
Well, we’ve finally broken in our new digital projector and our film committee has scheduled our summer and fall lineup of movies. Now it’s your turn, tell us what you’d love to see on our screen in the fabulous atmosphere of our 96-year-old theatre. Believe it or not your input can GREATLY influence what shows up next on that screen. Anything goes from independent films and documentaries to old black and white classics. And wait for it…..we are definitely planning on hosting live simulcasts of all kinds of presentations (you’re going to have to wait to find out just what!).
So, have at it. Sound off. Tell us what you think and what you want to see and thanks for your participation and support!

There’s some chatter that you might be showing the zombie movie Risen the Movie which was filmed here. If this is so, I will be buying lots of tickets for family and friends as my husband was an extra as were many other people in Waco. What a fun time this would be!

I love the idea of film series or film festivals, say, a Hitchcock film festival or maybe Powell & Pressburger. Movies that don’t generally come to Waco would be a draw as well. For instance,in 2002 the movie, Possession, did not show here and I refused to drive to Dallas or Austin but wouldn’t it be great if the Hippodrome put films like that in the lineup. Keep up the good work!
