Well, now you have a reason to visit, thanks to Roger Ebert.<\/p>\n<p>The film critic has just announced the lineup for his 2012 Ebertfest, a festival that highlights some oft-overlooked flicks and brings in special guests to chat about them.<\/p>\n<p>This year&#8217;s highlights include a screening of Big Fan, where star Patton Oswalt will discuss it; a showing of the excellent movie Take Shelter, featuring director Jeff Nichols and star Michael Shannon; and a special screening of 1949&#8217;s Kind Hearts and Coronets hosted by Oswalt.<\/p>\n<p>Ebert explains the idea behind the fest in this story:<\/p>\n<p>    This is a rare festival where no business takes place. No films are bought or sold. No deals are signed. It&#8217;s simplicity itself: We join in a classic 1920 palace, 1,600 of us, and watch a film as it should be seen, on a vast screen with perfect sound. Then we talk about them afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>Tickets are on sale now.
