By the way, my real name is George and maybe some of you former employees might remember me. I worked at the ACME supermarket in the same shopping center from 1985-89. I fondly remember Anthony (don’t know his last name) who started as an usher but became a manager around ‘88 or '89. I went to high school with Jamie, one of the ushers ('85-'86). Who was the old lady who ran the place in the early '80s?
I am a lifelong movie geek and the City Line Theater will always be one of my favorite movie houses. I saw so many great flicks there in the 80s- Sharky’s Machine, Clash of the Titans, Superman II, Any Which Way You can, The Jazz Singer, The Incredible Shrinking Woman, Conan the Barbarian, The Sword and the Sorcerer, Amityville II: The Possession, Lethal Weapon 1 and 2, The Hidden, RoboCop, Full Metal Jacket, Commando, American Ninja, CHUD, Exterminator 2, Get Crazy, Easy Money, The Outsiders, The Dark Crystal, Aiens, The Fly, Big Trouble in Little China, Tequila Sunrise, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure, Beaches, The Private Eyes and Earthbound (double feature),Nightmare on Elm Street 1 and 3, Night Patrol, Police Academy 1 and 3-6, Pet Sematary, Grandview USA, The Terminator, The Cotton Club, City Heat, Beverly Hills Cop II, The Lost Boys, The Fourth Protocol, Hamburger Hill, Hellraiser, Scrooged, Honkytonk Man, Children of the Corn, Angel, Death Wish II, Spies Like Us, Enemy Mine, First Blood, The Earthling, THe Last Flight of Noah’s Ark and 101 Dalmatians (double feature), Bachelor Party, Purple Rain, Cocoon, Christine, Sudden Impact, Heartbreak Ridge, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Black Widow and Over the Top. It’s a long list to be sure, but I have a great memory when it comes to movies.
