There used to be dollar theaters that showed slightly older movies.


Miss these, use to go 3-4 times a week in my younger years.

they still have them around me, but I think they are $3 now. Still an ok deal. But you end up with crying babies and small screens and just ok sound. I would rather watch it at home.

I used to hit the dollar theater by LSU pretty much every week or so in college. Just mainly cause it had free AC.

to the OP, you would end up waiting a few years for them to be showed on television. Many never were.

Yep, think I saw fifth element like 5 times at the old Essen theater. Quite a few at broadmoor too.

Used to make for great weekends out in high school. $20 could take you far back then.

They used to scrape the rat hair off the nacho cheese before serving it.

with the MoviePass, you can essentially do this again. $10 per month and go to as many movies as you want (1 per day).
