Like stygianwitch, there was a time in my life when I went to the movies every Saturday. The 'rents didn't drive us though- we WALKED there. And for $1.25 we could see a double feature- many times it would be a great Hammer films program, or a couple of Corman productions, or even some cheesey AIP stuff. I really got a great education there! And there would be serials too, in between, and cartoons, and prize drawings too! I remember winning an original Ed Big Daddy Roth Weird-Ohs model kit once! Incredible times!
Prior to that it was the cartoons of course. Warner Brothers were what I was raised on, and I still pity later generations who had nothing that great. They also showed the great Popeye cartoons- not the King Features crap- the original Fleisher Brothers ones. Video didn't just kill the radio star...
