My Grandmother passed-away last Sunday and I couldn't help recall all the cool movies I got to see with her as a kid. Not looking for sympathy or anything, just wanting to share with the only folks I know who'ld understand... Didn't know how to list them, so I grouped them by Theaters in Cedar Rapids, IA.
Lindale PLAZA (awesome theater): The Biscuit Eater Grizzly (18 feet of gut-crunching, man-eating terror) Star Wars (First Showing Opening Day... hardly anyone else there) Superman Superman II Star Trek: The Motion Picture Excalibur The Muppet Movie Grease The WORLD Theater: The Black Hole Close Encounters of the Third Kind The TIMES Theater: Herbie Goes To Monte Carlo Bad News Bears Go To Japan (Or was it Breaking Training?) Goin’ Coconuts Mother, Juggs and Speed The Island Of Dr. Moreau Smokey and the Bandit (with a SENSURROUND trailer for Midway!) The Jerk That OTHER Theater downtown… can’t remember its name: Private Benjamin The Shining The Visitor The TWIN Theater by K-Mart (forgot that name, too): Heavy Metal The Cheap Detective The Amityville Horror Xanadu STAGE FOUR Theater: Butch Cassidy & Sundance Kid (Didn’t actually get to see it because they were on strike and she didn’t want to cross that picket line) Young Frankenstein A Wedding Rocky Cheech & Chong’s Next Movie Escape From New York WESTDALE SIX: The Changeling Where The Buffalo Roam The Blues Brothers The Empire Strikes Back The Fog The Island An American Werewolf In London Stir Crazy Raiders Of the Lost Ark E.T. I know there's a lot more, but these were the only ones that I could come up with at the top of my head... I'm sure there are a few errors, and if anyone can help with the names of the two theaters, that would be cool. Thanks for putting up with my therapeutic post. I'd like to think I had a pretty cool Gramma, otherwise I would never have gotten to see these flicks theatrically. FranKenwick **************An Excellent Credit Score is 750.
