I was 6 years old. And that was the year An American Tail came out apparently. So it's possible I went to a theater that year. I do have a memory of watching that movie in some theater

Wait no. I was off by a year. Was thinking of 1986

I can't even think of any big movies for that year. Any other year of the 80s I could probably come up with a few.

I have a very specific memory of going with my Aunt to Dirty Dancing in 1987.

We went to this theatre in our local area that was built for stage plays in the early 1900s. It was very grand and had a cool balcony and I always loved that theatre. It was a single theatre so they only showed one movie at a time.

So yeah she really wanted to go to this movie and took me. I was 11. I remember that trip vividly and loved the movie. Still enjoy it to this day. Classic 80s cinema with two young rising stars at the time. It was a pretty big movie that summer.

Haven't gone to the theater since pre pandemic era. Will never get why people bother.

People. Kids. Highway robbery prices for candy and popcorn. Loud noises. Traffic.

All of it sounds like a drag.

Huh. No joking aside, full metal jacket is younger than I thought. Don't know why I remember it being 70s. It's one of Kubrick's more recent movies.
