was only a few years old but i still remember bits of the experience. being in a forest of legs queuing to get in, and the stills from the movie on the walls (they used to do that, put stills from the movie they were showing all over the lobby). everybody cheered at the end.
heh, when i was a baby in hurricane allen.
Hurricane Allen. August 9-10. 1980: When it was over the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Allen was one of the most intense hurricanes ever.
our evacuation shelter was a big concrete movie theatre, not a bad 1st birthday party... Empire Strikes back had just come out, so the theatre played starwars and empire back to back.
my parents say it was a pretty good way to wait out a storm, granted the only recollection I have is stories that feel like memories.
first movie i actually remember being in a theatre for was probably The Muppets Take Manhattan.
