Truly a "Once in a Lifetime" opportunity. Seeing "Stop Making Sense" on the big screen was worth attending alone. Then you pair that with "True Stories," and you have a great double feature!

This was a sublime cinematic experience. The Egyptian Theatre is gorgeous and comfortable. I want to thank the American Cinemateque for offering this screening.

The patrons were mostly polite and quiet. I only noticed two people browsing the web on their smart phones during the movie.
