Well, being a nut about movie theatres myself, I have a web site - http://cinerama.topcities.com that
is about Cinerama. The movies that were made in the 3-strip process and
also the move to 70mm Cinerama films. I also have a section on all the theatres
in the world that were at one time Cinerama theatres - http://www.cinerama.topcities.com/ctcineramatheatres.htm .
It also has links to other sites that have information on Cinerama and
non-Cinerama theatres.

Why oH Why did you post this site? I just spent the whole afternoon there.
First I noticed they had some posts about The Bleecker Street Cinema, which
I used to run back in the early 60s, so I posted a brief history and some
stories about the theater cat (Breathless) and Francois Truffaut's frequent
visits, etc. Then I noticed they had some brief posts on The York Theatre on
First Avenue, which was my local movie theater when I grew up on East 67th
Street, so I had to post some memories about that. Before I knew it, it was
dark out and I had spent some time actually enjoying myself instead of
butting my head against the Internet. Regards and thanks, rudy franchi
