I've wanted to do something like this, but I'm not sure of the 'public viewing' licensing / permissions / royalties required. I looked it up a while back, but life got in the way and so the idea was mostly lost (thanks for the reminder).

You can get Public Performance Rights. They ask (1) how big is the venue, (2) are you charging money, and (3) is it advertised outside your organization.

Remember: it's negotiable. Besides MPLC, there is Swank.

One more thing: if you're not fixated on the big budget Hollywood flicks, there are a ton of smaller distributors; usually easier to deal with.
