When I was a child in the 60's (yes, you read that correctly) we had a neighborhood theatre just a few blocks away (ah for the days of neighborhood theatres...). Every weekend I'd take my $1.25 down to the theatre for the weekend matinee. There would always be a double feature along with cartoons, newsreels, serials & prize giveaways.
The theatre owner knew what kids liked and often the double features would be Hammer horrors, or a Corman pair up, or even times a couple weird AIP releases. Getting to see those glorius movies on a big screen was a great education in film. My favorites were the Hammer films Cushing & Lee were dynamite together. As so many have said in this thread already- it's impossible to pick a favorite one. Like Universal & Corman they created their own world.
Great movies. Great entertainment. Great memories.
