Alfred Hitchcock's VERTIGO has inspired filmmakers for over 60 years, including Brian De Palma, Mel Brooks, and the late David Lynch. Don’t miss the 1958 psycho-thriller when the 70mm print of the 1996 restoration screens as part of our series Big & Loud. www.paristheaternyc.com/film/vertigo...

NEW: Aspen Acres fire is now over 85,000 acres in size, with evacuations extending as far as Lake Pueblo State Park and east to I-25 south of Pueblo. Cautiously optimistic, however, that better firefighting conditions today (higher humidity, lighter winds) can help a bit. #COwx
