I may pass out from the sheer awesomeness of the fact that this event is
going to happen. Then I'm going to get my affairs in order because I'm
pretty sure putting that much "amazing" in one space will cause the world to
implode.
...I really don't think I'm exaggerating much here.

The screenings, on Oct. 3 at the Arclight Hollywood theater, are open to the public. Among the presenters will be Jack Nicholson for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest," Julie Andrews for "The Sound of Music," Clint Eastwood for "Unforgiven" and George Lucas for "Star Wars — Episode IV: A New Hope."
"I cannot think of another event when movie makers and movie lovers have come together in such a spectacular fashion," Lucas said in a statement. "I'm proud to be part of this historic night — both as movie lover and a movie maker."
Other introductions will be made by Warren Beatty for "Bonnie and Clyde," Billy Crystal and Rob Reiner for "When Harry Met Sally...," Kirk Douglas for "Spartacus," Morgan Freeman for "The Shawshank Redemption," Tippi Hedren for "The Birds" and Sylvester Stallone for "Rocky."
Tickets for "Target Presents AFI's 40th Anniversary" go on sale Wednesday for $25.
If you're within four hours of Silver Spring, Maryland, and don't go, you're priorities are totally off.
