He lived in a small town, and could walk to the theater, get in for a nickel. I don't think he had a favorite movie. After the movie, he and his friends would go look at the cars on display in the dealers' lots. My husband knew every car, from certain years, by remembering the details he noticed when he was a kid

In the late 50s and early 60s, my dad was stationed at NAS Memphis and we got the TV stations from Memphis. On Saturday mornings, after watching cartoons we'd watch old Tarzan movies and Jungle Jim, both staring Johnny Weissmuller.

In the
early 60s he worked in a drive in, so there were a lot of nights Mom, me & my siblings were there to watch movies. He got promoted to mall movie theaters in the 70s.


This video clip was the music for General Cinema corporation; I still tap out the opening notes if I am waiting for something in public.

when I got older.

My dad was a Marine and at that time we lived on the Cherry Point Marine Base in NC. There was a theater on base and on Saturday afternoons my two older siblings and I would go to matinee. I can still remember putting the dime in the entry turnstile and going through. Can’t say I had a favorite movie or genre. We watched whatever was playing. I’m sure our mom was happy to have us out of her hair for a couple of hours. I remember one horror film so scary I was stuffing my mittens in my mouth to stop from screaming. Something like the Beast with Five Fingers. Not sure if that’s correct. Probably really lame if I saw it again now!

alot of thos we thought was comedy.

Thanks for looking it up! I don’t remember the plot whatsoever, just a disembodied hand crawling all over killing people. I’ll have to look for it showing on TCM and see if it is scary as I remember.

Hope you have a great day, AllaN01Bear!

ty. you too,
