goldenfleece Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 i was also one of the few who saw "the sound of music" at the odeon at around 1965-66. [/b] the Sound of Music was the last film that ever played there when it closed in 1967 I think.....very long run that movie had, over 2 years without a break.....the projectionist must have had a nervous breakdown and be in a home for the criminally insane after 2 1/2 years of High on the hill was a lonely goatherd and how do you solve a problem like MAria!!!!!!!! My God how many individual screenings is that over the period.......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
segasonic Posted October 13, 2004 Share Posted October 13, 2004 I remember living on the Manor in the mid-80s and going to the ABC on saturday mornings I think it was 50p and I remember seeing Beat Street and Spider-Man there, and Ewoks: Caravan of Courage on the small screen. I was gutted when they knocked it down, but I'm glad I'm old enough to have experienced proper cinemas with atmosphere, and not just the tiny, uncomfortable 10 screen in 1 building types we're stuck with now.

kiwiowl Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Was it the ABC that has a single step half way up. We used to sit a few seats back from it and as kids came running back with their icecream tubs and whatever else, half of them used to trip and go flying. It was funnier than any films they put on.

spudgun Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I remember queueing up to see saturday night fever and we couldn`t get in as it was full so we stood in the queue until the next showing some 2 hours later.The queue went up the tunnel at the side of what is now Argos and back down. Now that`s dedication for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
