<\/a><\/p>\nFeb 20, 2023<\/strong><\/p>\n Is there a movie from childhood that still holds a special place with you? (One you saw as a kid, but isn’t necessarily a kid’s film).<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n Movies did not play a big part of my childhood. Yes, our parents would load\u00a0 all of us into the station wagon perhaps once a summer and make a trip to one of the drive-ins in the area, but I couldn’t tell you what movies we saw. Except perhaps one – the classic Chitty Chitty Bang Bang with Dick Van Dyke. Back then, the drive-ins had the speakers that needed to be slid over the car’s window. There was a snack bar with all sorts of goodies and a playground near the front of the parking area.<\/p>\n The first movie I remember seeing in an actual theatre was either Gone With The Wind or The Sound Of Music. I’m not sure which. I was more enthralled by the grand old theatre than the movies. Its magnificence is gone, but in its prime, it was a work of art. What I remember most about that outing was that is just my mother and us sisters – no boys allowed.<\/p>\n (Let me clarify something – I’m pretty sure Gone With The Wind was digitally remastered and re-released. I’m not that<\/em> old!)<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n
