in the 1980s. I saw it in my film class in college but had to wait years until it was available on VHS. Since then I have seen it on TV a ton of times but the best screening was when it was played at the Museum of Art the night it was my turn to volunteer a few years ago. Seeing it on the big screen again was fantastic!!!
