One ticket a day from a life at the cinema. The films I loved. The ones I forgot. Preserved in paper and ink.

First post. What a film to start with. So iconic they’re still making them nearly 40 years later.

I have no recollection of this movie. The Wikipedia synopsis sounds bonkers and the trailer on YouTube looks terrible.

Although judging by the comments, some people seem to have very fond memories of it.

Another baby movie, but a considerably more successful one.
But then what do you expect with Selleck, Guttenberg & Danson holding the baby, and Spock calling the shots.

Don’t expect to see Three Men and a Little Lady in a future post.
I didn’t go and see that.

Whilst promoting his recent autobiography, Ben Elton claimed that no one went to see his directorial debut, Maybe Baby.

Well, here’s proof that at least one person did. Me.

When I saw Broadcast News, I had no idea I’d end up working in live television myself.
That bit where they rush the tape through the studio — I’ve seen that happen!
Great movie.

It wasn’t all alien hunters, vampires and cyborg cops in the late ’80s. I also went to see charming romantic comedies like Moonstruck. Or at least my peer group made me anyway.

Seem to remember quite enjoying this.

“I watched Someone to Watch Over Me the other night. I thought it was a really good movie. It’s a great movie.”
— Ridley Scott

I don’t remember much about this one, but who am I to argue with Ridley’s assessment of his own film?

Predator. The Lost Boys. RoboCop.
All within a month. What a time to be alive.

There’s nothing new to say about this one that hasn’t already been said. A stone-cold classic, and if anything it only gets better with age. Still sharp, still funny, still brutal.

“Thank God, it’s Friday.”

Pretty sure I’ve not seen Dragnet since this cinema visit, but it’s stuck in my memory — likely because of the Art of Noise theme. I'm a big fan.
Definitely a film I should revisit.

A lesser-known gem from the late ’80s. Released around the same time as Fatal Attraction, but unfairly overlooked. Terry O’Quinn is terrific—menacing, nuanced, unforgettable. Worth seeking out. Just steer clear of the 2009 remake.

#AdmitOneDaily #TheStepfather #1980s

But they couldn’t measure up — neither could the others…” The bottom of the poster displays the film title and credits, with a dark, ominous tone throughout.
