When I was a kid, Saturday was movie day. My mother would give my brother and me lunch bags full of sandwiches and fruit and money to get into the matinee and we’d spend hours there. Sometimes at the end of the matinee we would hide in the bathroom until the early evening show would begin so that we could see a whole new set of movies without having to pay again. I loved the darkness of the theatre and the new worlds the movies would take me to. Those were some of the happiest afternoons of my life.
Even today my wife and I take sandwiches to the movies on weekends and have the greatest of times sitting in the dark, watching, living, enjoying, learning, laughing, crying from what we see.
What about you? How important are movies to you? Do you have some favorites or ones which had a big effect on you and changed you and the way you see the world?
