Did you do this?

My Aunt swore never again have a shower after watching Psycho!!

Like Bradfordlass I often read" Who dun it" first.I like to work out how the crime was costructed.All my friends think I'm very strange. They are probably right.

We hardly ever went to the cinema as we lived out in the country but I can pretty much remember every film on those rare occasions. With my mother I saw Carmen Jones and The Pyjama Game. With Dad it was Reach for the Sky, The Dam Busters, Davy Crockett and a strange film called Captain Jack about an Indian or should I say Native American who for some reason wore a soldier's uniform. Once on holiday we saw Forbidden Planet. After each film we watched, my brothers and I played out the story over and over again for months! I do remember seeing B films but have no memory of them, possibly that's why they were B films!!

I remember being taken to see the Ten Commandments movie with Charlton Heston, being a most unconvincing Moses, when I was a child. The next day, I told my school friends about it and how there was an interval in the middle. They didn't believe me.

I remember films being on a continuous loop too. Especially remember seeing Zulu and Sever Brides for Seven Brothers from the middle, then the beginning.
I still love those two films as well.
I also still call the cinema the ‘pictures’ or the ‘flicks’.

Does anyone remeber the News Cinemas in London? You had newsreels, cartoons and advertisements. It was very cheap and good way to spend a rainy afternoon with the boy friend!!
