It was at a theatre in Manly (NSW Australia) opposite the beach in Summer. If I think if it now it brings back the joy if being young, the excitement of potential freedom to go & do whatever you wanted..the smell of the sea and sound of the waves breaking on the beach where we ate fish & chips after with my best girlfriend wearing my first pair of kitten heeled shoes..lovely ☺Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00494264576774267597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-23149607264348708102017-06-24T17:14:36.851+00:002017-06-24T17:14:36.851+00:00"The decade was not known as an uplifting per..."The decade was not known as an uplifting period in movie history as some of the bleakest films found their way to the screen (Straw Dogs, Clockwork Orange,Dog Day Afternoon, Taxi Driver and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's nest)"<br /><br />I can see not liking those movies as a kid, but what do you think of them now? I personally like a bleak movie every now and then, as long as there's some fun ones in-between.

People would ask "what is the B film?" or "what is the little picture?". As Raybeard said, it was normal for people to enter at any time and the torch shone you to your seat and then you sat through until the bit where you originally entered came round again. It may sound odd now but it was totally normal then. I was only thinking the other day if I would be allowed to do this now that I am again a regular cinema goer. I think probably not. Some of the fun has gone out of the experience.Rachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-13899899266670825862017-06-23T17:48:05.086+00:002017-06-23T17:48:05.086+00:00I ASK IT OF CAESAR ...I DEMMMMMMAAAANNNNDDDDD IT ...I ASK IT OF CAESAR ...I DEMMMMMMAAAANNNNDDDDD IT OF YOUJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-89416630467821350522017-06-23T17:46:15.450+00:002017-06-23T17:46:15.450+00:00I only like to choose my seat at theatre clwyd d13...I only like to choose my seat at theatre clwyd d13, alwaysJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-159245239122862832017-06-23T17:45:07.036+00:002017-06-23T17:45:07.036+00:00I think id always go the movies...its in my bloodI think id always go the movies...its in my bloodJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-90860072741655782182017-06-23T17:43:56.147+00:002017-06-23T17:43:56.147+00:00BLESS MY BEAUTIFUL HIDE!!!!!!BLESS MY BEAUTIFUL HIDE!!!!!!John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-69222366871766915182017-06-23T17:43:06.366+00:002017-06-23T17:43:06.366+00:00Frankenstein and the monster from hell!
