"There's a hunger for it': why classic films are hitting big screens again

Stirring athletics biopic Chariots of Fire sits cheek by jowl with schmaltzy Tom Hanks fable Forrest Gump; magical Japanese animation My Neighbour Totoro finds houseroom next to melancholic Hungarian art film Werckmeister Harmonies; 1990s action yarn The Mummy galumphs alongside Francis Ford Coppola's paranoid 70s classic The Conversation.

The surge of reissues and restorations appears unstoppable. This week sees the release of a new edit of the notoriously sleazy Caligula, first released in 1979, with the TexMex crime story Lone Star (1996) and Coraline (2009) to follow shortly.

Part of the reason that cinemas are seeing so many reissues, when previously they were the preserve of organisations such as the BFI putting archive treasures on the big screen, or to publicise DVD releases, is simply down to scheduling.
