Go to Saturday morning pictures - those special showings for kids??

[loulou]

Yes I did. We used to watch a lot of Bugs Bunny and Laurel & Hardy.

Did you throw popcorn Lou?

[loulou]

No I was a very quiet and shy child, wouldn't say boo to a goose.

i remember the days when you'd always get a full movie as an additional feature to the main one you were going to see - and their pairing never made much sense either. i remember going to see 'Snow White' as a kid, and the accompanying feature was ultra-violent scary sci-fi movie 'Saturn 3'. what were they thinking putting a horror movie like this withe a U rated Disney film? those were the days!

I remember the days when the classic Disney films used to come back to the cinema during the school holidays - in those days they wouldn't release them on video because there was so much mileage in being able to show them at the cinema. I wonder now if the little children of today have seen the likes of Cinderella and Snow White; do parents still buy their kids non-CGI movies?

I bought my children the Disney films when they became available on video but we also visited the cinema - to see Toy Story and such like.

I remember seeing two films back to back. When Monty Python and the Holy Grail came out in the 1970s they showed it with Blazing Saddles.
