You knew it was the beginning of the Polyester Apocalypse when Sinatra wore leisure suits.

Fantastic movie - wonderful story, beautifully filmed and well acted.

Agreed. I used to go to the "revival" houses to see Casablanca as it was intended to be seen: on a big screen. The Balboa Theater ran a wide variety of films, foreign, classic, silents, "art house", and so on. There was period of time when they played 40s music during intermission over the speakers (think of Road to Morocco's theme song).
I shy away from visiting the movies today because it's so expensive, there's very little that interests me, and, yes, those folks that talk and text and chat spoil it for me.

I spend every day of my life in a place like that. We don't run as many thirties pictures as I'd prefer, and too many whiny-white-people-in-New-York pictures, but the environment, at least, is extremely pleasant. Except when I have to sop up water from frozen pipes and deal with sagging ceilings.

Our walk-in music comes from my own collection of '78s. We have the only twentysomething concession kids in America who know all the words to "The Hut-Sut Song."

If I catch you texting during the movie, there's a pretty good chance I'll chuck you out. People know this, and keep their phones in their pockets.

I remember that tune from the movie, " A Christmas Story".
I thought it was just "background music" for the movie ...Thanks JP

LM, please relocate to California and whip movie theaters into shape!

Flying High 1931. A tearable musical with Bert Lahr, pre OZ and Pat O'Brian.

 

[Zombie_61]

Kung Fu: The Movie (1986). David Carradine returns to play Kwai Chang Caine in a disjointed made-for-TV movie that appears to have been a failed attempt to revive the series. Carradine drops back into the role that haunted him throughout the rest of his life and career as easily as if he were donning a comfortable old pair of shoes, but the dual plots aren't intertwined well and much of the "ancient wisdom" sounds like something the writers found in fortune cookies.

......... whiny-white-people-in-New-York pictures........

Had to chuckle as I read this. I remember my assessment of When Harry Met Sally a quarter of a century ago: "overindulged New Yawkuhs fixated upon the petty conflicts of their crotches."

I was there in the early eighties and did the best I could. I absolutely loved the Fox Arlington in Santa Barbara, and from all I can see online it's still a pretty nice place. Saw Gance's "Napoleon" there in 1983, and it's still the most memorable moviegoing experience of my life.

I first saw it sung by Rowlf the Dog in a skit on the Muppet Show....... which featured a lot of great old songs.

'The Invisible Agent' (1942)
I've never much cared for any of the 'Invisible Man' movies, but this one was interesting from a historical standpoint as a piece of American/Allied wartime propaganda of the time.

And it had Peter Lorre in it.

"Central Park" a 1932 one hour detective story that is a great time travel moment to NYC's Central Park. The story is a throw away - again, though - if you are familiar with Central Park today, you get a great opportunity to see how several familiar landmarks in the Park looked in '32

"Angels in the Outfield" - just watched it on TCM for probably the third or fourth time over several decades. I'm not overly proud of it, as it is a silly movie, but I enjoy its fable-like story and Paul Douglas' cantankerous character softening over time.

The Invisible Man (1933) is one of my favorite classic "horror" movies, but I've never bothered to watch any of the sequels (even though I have them readily available in the Universal "Legacy Collection" DVD set) because I've heard they were all rubbish. I suppose I should take the time to watch them and form my own opinions one of these days.
