Hello? Did you even movie-phone? A single phone number would give you movie times for all area theaters.

Many locally owned theaters had their own hotline as well.

And Holy shite... Look how movies have fallen.

Secret Admirer is terribly underrated. Kelly Preston & Lori Loughlin at their finest.

You could've thrown a rock and hit a fun movie to see back then.

Would Rambo be rated R today? They released action figures for it even back then.

I remember calling a hotline to get the movie times.


I wasn’t alive yet, but if I was a kid it would be back to the future and as an adult would be Rambo.
