Hi Bobby,
So glad the sound of music was your best memory from O/M as it was mine too, think we knew every word of every song and the words to every scene by the time the film left......it's a film ive seen so many times over the years....cause it also brought back the memories of where i was when i first saw it O/M.  i even went to austria a few years back to see the sound of music for myself.......but the reality didnt have the O/M magic.....when i went over to cape town last year i made a cd of all the old 1966 song as thats the last time nicolene verona sandy john dy and i had been friends in o/m and gave them a copy each ......the last song i put on there was ....so long farewell...from the sound of music    ...they all thought it very fitting....and it brings tears to my eyes everytime i play it....stil....
Also remember Mary Poppins coming there too.....such memories.......still 2 of my favorite films.....

will e mail tonight bobby.

I think I'd have to say JAWS.
It is the movie that I have full memory off seeing at the old movie house, I got ticket in the third row from the front and it was very scary, I must have just been old enough to see it as it was age restricted.  I have watched it again and again and still see myself hiding behaind my hands in the cinema.

I don't know whether I can remember a block-buster as such, but I do remember such films as "Pollyanna" and "The Parent Trap" with Hayley Mills, there was a very popular film which involved SA called "Sammy's going South" about a little boy (seemed big to me at the time!) who walked from Cairo to Cape Town to rejoin his family.  But mainly Cowboy and Indian films.  My favourite actor was Richard Widmark - still is today - although he is now in his 90's!!
We also had a lot of Doris Day and James Garner/Rock Hudson films.

For me, movie of my era has to be E'Lollipop - cried snot and trane right the way thru! Watched it again on TV about a year ago and still brought a lump to my throat.

Oops, forgot fav of all time - Shawshank Redemption - have seen it about 10 times and can watch it another 10 times - bugs me at the best of times, but when it comes to this movie i thank SABC for repeats - my ultimate actor Morgan Freeman takes one of the lead roles.

[Gary Mc Manus]

I remember going to the cinema every Saturday afternoon (was it that often?), and always used to love the Westerns. There was always a great cheer at the end when the good guys came. As we all spilled out into the afternoon sun the cowboys and indians would carry on in the the evening running back to 7th avenue or first avenue, depending where the parents were/

I remember glancing at the posters from the other side of the road and seeing "DIE HARD" - Bruce Willis movie.  Don't know what the hell I was thinking of but thought it was Afrikaans.  Told my mom wasn't going to the cinema because it was an afrikaans movie.  how dum was i - still am..................

[Michael Alexander]

Gary, did'nt we first check in the Sportsman (that was closed) or the Hexen Kessel before heading home just in case our parents had lined the drinks up for the afternoon seeing as the pub was closed?

;D

;D

Can't remember much re the movies we saw there as it was such a long time ago?

However............. I do remember being driven from a party in a van by Jimmy Martin the carpenter......... a big bloke called Lou? was with us................. and Lou and I became the first streakers in South West Africa!

Timed to perfection........we run past the cinema bare bollocky naked ...........just as the movie finished and the hordes let out.

[Michael Alexander]

My dad and two other blokes streaked through Casey's one friday night to protest the bar hours being changed, The idea was for one chap to drive the car, they would jump out the car run through the swing doors naked, run through to the Snooker room and out that door and hop back into the car that should be at the right position by then, only thing was Jan Mathee got wind of the operation and locked the snooker room door...so naked they had to run back out through the front doors, by this time their getaway car was way down the road, and to make matters worst the Cinema was coming out. A lot of disgruntled people got to see the streakers. The Next Morning, Big Dirk and a few SWAP members came to pay my dad a visit, he got off with a fine to a charity of his choice........   ;D

I'll ask him the names...

Cant remember what my favorite movie was or what I had actually seen, to busy elsewhere like under the seats robbing sweets,,,well, Greece, was not my favorite but, the only one I can remember. I kept singing the theme song all the way home. My favorite movie, but not from Omund cini, is Enemy of the State with Will Smith I know it's old like but I STILL enjoy it. And, Born Identity, with Matt Damon, boy what a man...

[Michael Alexander]

Matt Damon is almost as good looking as me ! Ahem!   ;D
