Your Excellency, content is important. I'm like Schlicter, don't know what's there. But I watched Foul Play on TCM last night and Goldie Hawn went to the movies and tickets were $2.50. In High school at the time and I can remember taking my sweetheart to the movies, gassing up the old Cutlass and getting popcorn for $20 (in Westwood when it was cool) We used to be able to go to the movies simply to get out out the heat here in the Valley. No more. Over $50 to go to a bad movie! And we're like you. Love movies. Rare we ever walked out. So a return to the days of the depression when everyday people could escape their dreary lives for a quarter could go a long way to get people in the seats.

Speaking of seats. I don't need a Lazy boy and room service. Simply, "The Apartment," "Sabrina", "The Cowboys", or "Foul Play."

Sorry. You hit a nerve. Thanks.

Some good stuff here. And, I have seen some of the original movies you listed, but only on download. Ever since Covid I'm just out the habit of going to the theatre. But I have gone a few time in the last quarter. Also, The Fall Guy was an 80's show, 1981-1986, not a 70's show.
