In Reply to: Your favorite movie theatre?... posted by musetap on April 24, 2014 at 11:45:45:
But, alas, they tore it down in the late 1980s, a victim of multiplexes that were becoming the rage.
It was a beautiful modern design with a huge interior space, built about 1962. The picture and audio were top class. The movie screen was gigantic. It was the first theater in the area to have reclining seats. I loved sitting in the first row in the balcony or in row 7 on the main floor.
In the lobby, the theater had a large gallery of original artwork, primarily paintings, that were for sale.
My fondest memory was an afternoon in December 1964 during the Christmas break from school. Eleven years old at the time, my parents dropped me off that day to see the most talked about movie of the year. There was an endless line of people outside the building waiting in the freezing cold to purchase tickets. I eventually obtained my ticket, sat in row 7, center seat, and was stunned by the most exciting movie this then-adolescent had ever seen.
The film was Goldfinger. I still sometimes get goose bumps when I hear the title song or the James Bond theme. It is funny how some seemingly trivial childhood memory can affect one much later in life.
