Best Picture Showcase Back For 2011! #amcbps

So the Golden Globes were last night and we are only days away from hearing who will be nominated for the Oscars!  Its a good time to be a movie fan.

One tradition I have started over the past couple years is attending AMC Theatres Best Picture Showcase which is a two week highlight of all the movies nominated for best picture that year at the Oscars.

I just saw it is on again this year and as always looking forward to attending.  Its a great way to enjoy a day of movies and to see those films maybe you missed the first time they ran.

The dates for this year are Feb 19th and Feb 26.

Be sure to check out the site for more information as it comes out and if you are on twitter follow the hashtag #amcbps

See ya at the movies!

So this past Saturday I had the opportunity along with my buddy JJ aka vivid13 to be part of an awesome event called the "Best Picture Showcase" put on by AMC.

Basically the concept is all 5 movies nominated for best picture for this years Oscars shown in 1 day, add unlimited popcorn, tons of movie geeks and you have an awesome event on your hands.

I did a little recap video with some input from others who attended so check that out below:

As I mentioned in the video I had an awesome time at the event, AMC put on one heck of a movie marathon and I cannot wait until next year to do it all again!

For some extra coverage of the "Best Picture Showcase" check out all the tweets tagged #amcbps from all over the country, as well as my fellow kc geek shane with his blog post running down the showcase and movies as well as his flickr pics of the event.

So did you go to the event in your city? What was your experience? Maybe you didnt but you saw the movies...what was your favorite? Let me know.
