Its programming was kind of half arthouse, half leftfield-mainstream. I saw many great films there, although I'm not really associating it right now with specific titles (the way I can tell you where I first saw Mean Streets, The Deer Hunter, Rushmore, and many others). It was sometimes like a ghost town the past year. One night and friend and I were leaving a late show around 11:00 p.m., and there wasn't a single person on staff to be seen anywhere. We started wondering if we were supposed to lock up.

i went with a friend to see the third man at a little theater in seattle years ago and the lobby was totally deserted when we got there but there was a sign on the counter that said PLEASE WAIT -- YOUR TICKET SELLER IS ALSO YOUR PROJECTIONIST. i hope that place is still there.

A first in my memory — local cinemas competing with the same movies. Both the Malco and Cinemark in Tupelo are showing Independence Day, The Purge and The Secret Life of Pets. They've always divvied up the offerings before.

Hometown, Canada, but anyway, a Toronto rep that's been closed for at least 10-15 years is reopening:

Don't know where to put this...My two friends and I did a three-part Zoomcast on memorable screenings in our lives. Sometimes they were memorable because of the movie, but just as often it had to do with the theatre or some story attached to the screening.

I forgot a few: Blue Velvet, 28 Up, and my first non-English films in a theater, Get Out Your Handkerchiefs and Belle de Jour in the toney Fine Arts Theatre on Eglinton (I think), late '70s, long gone.

I'd never heard of Don Rugoff--evidently most people hadn't--so Searching for Mr. Rugoff was inspiring and depressing in about equal measure. A line near the end--"All those theatres are now gone"--sums up the film well. As does the reality that I streamed it at home.
