I am a Charlotte NC native, and have seen many great films “back in the day” at the Manor. In my opinion the theater has suffered from the sale to Regal Theaters. I have a hard time finding titles I want to see there these days. Several years ago I saw a re-release of “Touch of Evil” – the last great film noir there, and I really enjoyed it even though the film broke about 4 times! If the folks at Regal want to make good money at this theater they need to let us have our Art-House venue back ! In all my years of patronage I never saw the ghost. If the Manor gets torn down – it’s Regal’s fault!
Hello! Even though I’m in North Carolina now, I have many fond memories of the River Oaks from back in the 70’s when it showed the very best foreign, art-house & classic movies – sometimes double features! I first saw “The Seven Samurai” there, complete with intermission. I saw “Don’t Look Now!”, “Grand Hotel”, “The Twentieth Century”, “It Happened One Night”,and “China Seas” there just to name a few. The River Oaks was kind of my Cinema Paradiso, if you know what I mean. Thanks to those who posted pictures!
