I was a little before your time. Double features were the style and one theater. We would go to Westwood in its heyday and cruise the different theaters to see what we wanted to see.

I could gas up the car, get two tickets and popcorn and coke for $20. Once while dating my future wife in high school we went to the movies and I asked her if she wanted popcorn. (she never did). This time she said yes,so she got the popcorn and I sat with nothing. I spent my whole $20.

Now the whole experience is a pain. So sad.

Two of our "second choices" due to a sold-out first choice were Silence of the Lambs and Clueless. We didn't what they were going in, but they both were thoroughly entertaining. I remember the days well. Sure it's great to reserve a seat for Dune 2 and have a huge recliner to sit in, but not the same.
