I remember that well. Those were the days of drive-in movies where you had to walk across the place to buy some junk!

This should make a comeback. It would be nice to be able to go piss without missing parts of the movie.

There was a Double Feature a few years back Death Proof that had an intermission, only one I've seen.

I'm pretty sure Schindler's List had an intermission when I'm the threater.

Also, what about Sleepers? This movie is about 3.5 hrs

Fiddler on the Roof was re-released in the theaters several times in the earlier years. This is how it was done with movies before the home video days. Gone With The Wind, Dirty Harry, Sound of Music…they all went on re-releases, then disappeared until coming out in the dollar theater, then home video.
