It seems like a great idea, but could become a costly mistake if they do not have permission as each movie is the intellectual property of someone...
Yes. In fact we are working through Swank Motion Pictures and have received performance rights to show these movies. We have to pay a license fee and won't be making much money unless LOTS of people come to see the show.
