Ah, I said some of the same things in my reply above, before I saw your post.
Right, I remember having to try to get home in time to see certain things, not just movies, back in the day. Fortunately for me, I grew up in NYC with its several revival houses, to which I was going from 12 or 13 or so. And sometimes not even revival houses. I think it was in 1971 that the Beekman, generally a first-run theatre, showed a summer festival of the last 10 years of New York Times 10-best films. First time I saw several films. |
