Back to the Future

This is one of my favourite 80's movies. I like the song from it too - The Power of Love. I still have this magazine but not the poster because I accidentally threw it away. After I took it off my wall I put it back in the wrong magazine. Grandma next door got me one of those teenie bopper mags with MJF on the cover because she thought that I had a crush on him. I just liked him in this movie. That's the mag that the poster wound up in which I eventually threw in the trash. I wish that I had been more careful or had not even taken the poster out of the magazine.

E.T. kind of scared me

I forgot to include some of the other movies that I was lucky enough to see for free when I was a kid thanks to my Aunt Dorothy and Uncle Al working in the theater in my previous post on this topic. There was the cheestastic Clash of the Titans, Ghostbusters, Escape From Witch Mountain, Return to Witch Mountain and E. T.

I remember that E. T. was really scary looking to me and thinking that if I ever encountered an alien such as this that I would be so freaked out. I did like the movie though and felt sorry for him when he got captured and also sympathized with him for missing his fellow aliens.

Mom also enjoyed this movie. We still have the VHS tape of it. It's not one that we'd get on DVD. We can't afford to replace many of the tapes. Aunt Al made her a ceramic E.T. but in the mid 90's we sold it at a flea market. I think that I might've had some of the trading cards.

I'm having this craving for Reese's Pieces right now. Haven't had those in many years. Is my memory that they originally wanted to use M&M's in this movie correct?

Movies 2

I loved the drive-in movies and wish that they still had one in our area. I don't even know if any are left in New Jersey. There probably aren't many left in the country. Besides seeing Jaws when I was a kid, I remember my cousins taking my brother, their sister Mary and I to see The Black Hole, Roller Boogie and I think The Black Stallion. Mary and I saw Star Trek 3 at the Quakerbridge Mall theater with her brother's girlfriend Sue. My brother is really into Star Trek and I kind of like it too so we've seen most of them together in the theater except for the first 2 which we saw on TV and the last 2. He has yet to see the last one. The only movies that I've ever seen twice in the theater are Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade and The Last Crusade and Spiderman 3. Mary went with me the second time to the former and Mark to the latter. The last movie that I saw was Terminator 4. We never saw the other 3 in the theater. I never even saw the first 2 until the late 90s on TV. I wish that we had seen them on the big screen. There are alot of movies that I'd like to see that way, even the classics. I did see the re-release of the 3 Star Wars movies in the late 90's so technically I have seen Star Wars in a theater but it's not the same as seeing it when it first came out. What were my parents thinking? They took us to the scary Jaws but not to Star Wars. It's kind of funny, I guess.
