re: Baton Rouge movie theaters on July 5, 1985

University 4 was the best. Broadmoor had its moments. I still remember seeing Trainspotting there in college.

of course there were some great movies then ….. all of the real creative talent was making films —- not a million good TV shows. Way more of a balance and 2024 was hardly devoid of good offerings.

Rambo!

Does anyone else 'member having to go to look at the newspaper just to get the show times

I don't remember that but I remember calling them and getting the recording of the movie times.

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

It was worth nothing to those of us who lived in the next parish/county over. Parents weren't usually in the habit of being happy for paying for long distance calls just for finding out what time a movie played (especially when you had a perfectly good paper there on the kitchen table).

Or calling that 800 number and listening to all the options.
