Movies from when we were kids

[bigdaddysaints]

I was 14 so maybe considered a kid. Enemy Mine was a good movie that seems to be forgotten.

yes, a very excellent movie.

My earliest movie memory was a double feature horror night…The Gargoyles and Night of the Lepus. I must have been 7 or 8. My older brother took me and I think it scarred me for life…
Soon after that I remember going to an all-day marathon of all the Planet of the Apes movies. I recall we went in around 1 pm and came out way after dark!

This reminds me of something ive wanted to do for a few years now, and one day eventually will- an all day Godfather marathon …. What you do is , you get together a few friends/family, starting sometime in the early afternoon and y’all watch Godfather 1.. then, you take a break for a couple hours, find the best hole-in-the-wall Italian restaurant near you, get take out- meatballs, spaghetti, baked ziti, antipasto, the whole thing- y’all consume this Italian feast…. THEN you put on Godfather 2………. Would be the most epic day i can imagine.


BTW i dont acknowledge Godfather 3 so it isnt part of the marathon.

My sister, my cousins, and I did the all-day marathon of POTA too. The theaters were in the mall at the front of our neighborhood, so we walked home after dark and tried to scare the youngest among us with every shadow being an ape!

Last movie I saw at the Sena Mall in Metairie. Enemy Mine shoulda been a big-box-office classic SF film -- it is based on a classic SF novella, but was probably changed too much in the translation to film.

...

Speaking of the Sena Mall ... was thinking back on what the last movie playing at the Sena Mall was before it closed. My memory is that it was A Fish Called Wanda (1988). Sound right?

I'm 99% sure that the last movie to play at the Lakeside Theaters (on the opposite side of Veterans from Lakeside Mall) was The Saint (1997) with Val Kilmer.

When the new Star Wars movie "The Force Awakens" came out, one of the theaters in BR had a marathon of all 7 in a row. A friend of mine did it. I love SW, but I don't think i could sit still long enough to watch 7 movies in a row, Even if i did do it, i wouldn't come in until Revenge of the Sith.

Proof that you don't need a big budget special effects extravaganza to make a good sci-fi movie
