Is there going to be another sale in November like last year?

Well the earliest film I can actually remember seeing was Back to the Future 2 which came out in 1989. I was 8 at the time. Reason I remember it was more because of a family tragedy than anything else. My grandmother took me to the movie actually had a stroke and lost her eyesight in her left eye permenantly DURING the early part of the movie. I never did get the see most of the film until video years later. Believe it or not she liked the first Back to the Future film but flatout refused to ever watch Part 2 afterwards because she thought it was cursed and didn't want to lose her other eye. :ohnoes:

Let's hope so. If there is, I will definitely hold off on the September and October releases until then, except maybe Seven Samurai, my all time favorite film ;)

Hehe....Well... Non Disney...

All memories are around the late '70s.

For theater with the family, I remember going to see "Saturday Night Fever" with my parents as they were all into the disco craze and would have these disco parties at the house back then (now that I think about it, my parents had more fun in their 20's and 30's than me and my wife...with all the house parties...hehe).

I do remember going with a family member to see "Jaws, "Grease", "Star Wars" and also "Superman". But the largest number of family I remember going out to the movies including my grandparents (which was the only time) was watching "Poltergeist".

My dad and mom used to take me and my brother to the drive-in when we were young. Granted, I don't know what they were doing in the front seat (nor do I want to think about it) but I remember we would sleep and when I woke up, seeing nude women on the screen - the movie was "Stripes" and I think we actually went to the drive-in to see "Porky's"....maybe even "Fast Times at Ridgemont High"...hehe... I don't remember too much of these drive-in days..as my parents made sure we were dead tired and fell asleep.

But probably my most favorite experience at the theater when I was young was watching "Rocky IV" and seeing the crowd all up in their feet and really getting into that final boxing match and screaming and rooting for Rocky. That was an unreal moment.

Whoah! Sorry to hear that man... That sucks!

I hope so!!!

Well, I don't think you are the only one. I've read of people who purchased with coupons on Tuesday and then were charged the price without coupons and other situations. Anyway, I hope you get everything squared away but truthfully, you get more mileage from calling to get your order squared away:

1-800-THE-BOOK (1-800-843-2665)1-877-886-5022.
International customers should call 201-559-3882201-438-1475.

Thank you very much for the feedback!

I got "Pygmalion" "Trouble in Paradise" and "Pepe le moko."

This is probably a stupid question but do all of 1998 Criterion versions of Salò released have the white ring on them? Or are those more rare?

First theater experience was for a revival showing of Gone With The Wind, back when people still dressed up to go to the theater.

First one without my parents, Batman, but I'm sure that must've been 67 or 68, so not a first run.

First one I know I saw in the initial run was a triple feature at the drive-in, Paint Your Wagon, True Grit, & The Wild Bunch.

Hello. You are aware that both Sin Nombre and The Bicycle Thieves are on blu-ray?

Yup but they're region locked, region B. I unfortunately don't have a region free player.

The Bicycle Thieves was released? Where? Only release I know about was the UK disc and, AFAIK, that hasn't happened.

Ooooo, Trouble in Paradise is one of my hands down, absolute favorite movies ever. Great choice!

Am I the only one who has already received all my B&N order? I ordered tuesday night with free shipping and they arrived on friday. I was impressed until I read everyone's troubles in this thread.

Old timer! :ohnoes:

The earliest I remember is Jaws... I was 3 when it ca,e out, so I obviously didn't go opening day... but I was 3 or 4, because it was the same year I had swimming lessons and afterwards didn't want to go into the deep end, because I thought the shark lived there, lol.

We also saw Paint Your Wagon at the drive-in as well. ;)

First film I saw that scared the crap out of my like that was Night of the Living Dead (the 1990 remake) when I was 9. I had never seen the original and had no idea what zombies were before that. Thing scared the crap out of my for the longest time. Nowadays when I watch it it's not even scary.

First movies I really remember were No Time for Sergeants and Fiend Without a Face in 1958. The latter was the first time a movie scared the #@$%^ out of me. I remember thinking at the time; "That's not fair - how can i fight them if I can't see them." :ohnoes:

hmmm i'm "young" compared to you ;)

my father taking me to see Terminator 2 in the cinema created in me a new love for films! =D


&also i agree w/neo78956's assessment of M. Fritz Lang. i've seen most of his filmography (of what i can get my hands on, still so many unreleased or i can't obtain) and M is one of his crowning achievements. furthermore what's amazing is how entertaining M STILL IS if people sat down through it =). it's still quite sensational as it was back in the days it was shown!

I remember seeing Star Trek III: The Search for Spock (as a drive-in double feature with Wrath of Khan no-less!) back in 1984 when I was five. I also remember seeing The Goonies in 1985 when I was six.

Haha yeah... but I still hate the water. :eek:

I wonder if that has anything to do with it... deep down...
