Last movies I saw in a theater when I was a kid was maybe Snow White and the seven drarfs or however the heck you spell it and Frankenstein. After that mess it was all westerns for me!!!!!!! from then on out.
What was the last movie you saw, and did you like it?

I love all the old westerns but, dont give a hoot for the new ones--or ones made after 1995.
Seems like all they want to convey in the newer ones is getting laid or how nasty and perverted you can act and talk. Is it just me???

It's not just you. And it's not just westerns. All movies have their 'trash' element these days. Producers think they need to push the envelope to attract audiences.

Pain & Gain, True story and a pretty good movie.

Amen to that sir. I also dont need to see blood spurting from a wound in rder to understand the idea. Most new movies turn me off big-time. Most of"the old guard" never had scandals either.
Go Go Godzilla!
The king of monsters is back. Now, if only they could have had the fun with it the Japanese versions do. I loved final wars. It was very much a proper Godzilla movie, but not as over the top as I would have liked.
But who knew there was a hot Olsen left?
Also, there's apparently only one experienced EOD tech in the entire armed forces.
Next up is X-men. I'm kinda miffed that they traded Kitty for Logan. "Days of future past" was really her story. I understand why they did it, as the movie audience has never met Shadowcat, but still. They could have introduced her for this movie.
Then in Deadpool we could get my favorite scene of him and Logan...but that would require there actually being a Deadpool movie.

Just watched while enjoying lunch--Kansas Raiders w/ Audie Murphy, Tony Curtis, James Best, Richard Egan, Brian Donlevy and Scott Brady. thoughno where near historically accurate--but still a great story dealing with Quantrills Raider lead by: William Clarke Quantrill (Brian Donlevy)

Well, up until the mid-60s Hollywood was pretty good at keeping a lid on scandals. There was plenty of talk locally about Randolph Scott and Cary Grant, but it never made the papers in Peoria.

"The Last of the Mohicans", the Directors Cut. One of the best "westerns" made in my opinion - easily in my top ten. The Movie, even more than " The Patriot" connects you with what it was like to be in America as it was being created by the mind set of the colonists. The Photography is without peer, to say nothing of the cast, Daniel-Day Louis, Russell Means, Wes Studi and a young Madeleine Stowe, whats not to like. Stowe's transformation from Royalist to American is a joy to behold, especially her eye opening discussion with Lewis under the stars.

I was going to mention tha Randolph Scott/Cary Grant scandal--but figured against it because--it was proven BS beyond any doubt and the instigater of the original rumor--was long since proven to have had negative feelings for both for some reason? True--they DID live together for awhile--but that was only for a shortperiod of tim and they shared rent while they were working on two movies shot in the area-though they wer in seperate movies.

I with these theaters would to special runs of popular movies from the past. Like the spaghetti western from Clint Eastwood. Do a three movie run, with popcorn, a hotdog and a drink included in the price.
I would love to see the older awesome movies on the big screen.

The Railway Man
Powerful. Based on true story from WWII. Colin Firth and Nicole Kidman. Excellent.
Before that.... binged on the entire Tudors series on Netflix and Game of Thrones first three seasons on Amazon Prime. Both were fantastic! Waiting for GoT season four to come out.

That was one FUN flick! Saw it with my guy. Great blast from the past. I loved the part when they brought in the original score from the TV series. I started clapping and laughing it was that awesome.

Some do. We have one in our area that runs them through the summer months. A year or two ago, I saw my first John Wayne movie on the big screen--which was a big deal for me--because the last timeI had an opportunity to see one--I was too youg according to the child working the ticket booth. The Shootest was being played along with some other movie I was forced to see instead. I was 9 and got shafted from watching Duke on the big screen. Fast-forward 36 years later--and I got to see duke in: The Searchers.
A few weeks after that was shown, I got to see: The Great Escape on the big screen.

Saw "Monuments Men" on BluRay from the Redbox.
It was "ok". I thought from the cast, it would have been better. I was like they were trying to decide what the film was about, as they were shooting it.
It was a well made film, just kind of boring.
