Theater Thursday
The Big Screen
1. Do you remember the very first time you watched a movie on the big screen? Describe it.
Although I may have been to see a kiddie flick before this, the very first movie that I have a clear memory of going to the theater to see was The Beatles Help! in 1965.
I was a mere three years old at the time. My mom and I walked to the Coyle Theater to see it. My older brother was probably with us as well. What I remember most about seeing it that very first time is that I was very upset because they were trying to hurt Ringo. He was my favorite Beatle at that time.
2. What was the last movie you saw on the big screen?
That would be my current favorite movie, Van Helsing.
I went to see it for the fifth time a few weeks ago!
3. Did you ever like a movie so much that you paid to watch it more than once? If so, what movie?
Hell, yeah! See the answer to the previous question. Other movies that I have gone to see in the theater multiple times include all of the movies in the original Star Wars trilogy, E. T. and most of the older Disney cartoon movies.
BONUS~ How much does a movie ticket cost in your neck of the woods?
Ticket prices vary greatly in this area. If you don't mind waiting for a while to see a movie, The Maxi Saver Cinema shows movies that have been out for a while for a buck fifty on weekends. It's cheaper during the week. First run movies can be seen at bargain matinees for prices from $4.50 to $5.50. A full priced evening show is usually about $7.50.
