Major part of my childhood, from the 1960’s to mid 70’s. I tell people all the time I would see these films, great one unedited. This was the place. I also feel it had a great sound system, It was shabby but comfortable. Saw The Wild Bunch, Little Big Man, Vault of Horror; the list goes on, really good films there, Not new releases and sometime they just played anything, The Grasshopper was one. Lets just say the age issue did not apply. They would also play the holiday specials like The Ten Commandants Easter weekend, people would go because it was big screen and unedited. Does anyone remember Miss Bellinie and her 6'8" son. She kept over 1000 kids in line, or in their seats every weekend for years. Later in the mid 70’s Black exploitation and Kung Fu movies had taken over, but thanks to the owners, I was able to see many classics I see on TCM today and can relive them as the director wanted it to be seen.
