I saw Casper at a drive-in double feature with Batman Forever.

Se7en
Copycat
Dolores Claiborne
Demon Knight
The Prophecy
Halloween - The Curse Of Michael Myers
Candyman - Farewell To The Flesh
Tales From The Hood
Village Of The Damned
Nadja
Return Of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre
Powder
Showgirls
Strange Days

Nadja, Showgirls and Powder were three of the funniest movie theater experiences I've ever had. About ten of us went to see these movies and it was just nonstop laughter. Dammit, I wish I'd seen Shallow Grave in the theater!

I see Ryan mentioned Batman Forever. That film earns the dubious distinction of being the only film I've ever walked out on. HATED that movie. I also may have seen Virtuosity in the theater... I really can't remember.

A thin movie-going year for me - Se7en, Species, Judge Dredd.

tobaccoman · 04-25-2006, 11:16 PM

I caught a few of these that year

Demon Knight
Lord Of Illusions
Species
Tank Girl

I also saw Casper in theatres, but it was after it's initial run and playing as a matinee in a shool promotional discount thing. Other movies I remember playing with this were things such as Babe and Flipper.

KillerCannabis · 04-27-2006, 08:39 PM

I caught quite a few that year. Some good titles, but still not a good year for horror.

Halloween 6: The Curse of Michael Myers

I wanted desperately to see Showgirls, but I was only 16 at the time and didn't live near a theater that was showing it. I was just starting my junior year of high school and had lusted after Tiffani-Amber Thiessen and Elizabeth Berkley on Saved by the Bell from 1989 to 1993. I couldn't believe Berkley was going to be in this movie. I was very disappointed that I didn't get to see it, but now I've got the VIP DVD and can watch it on my 60 inch HDTV anytime I want.

Return of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre played in some theaters in 1995? I know the movie was shot during the summer of 1993 with the intentions of getting a wide theatrical release in the fall of 1994, but from what I recall it didn't get released until late September 1997 in a very limited theatrical run under the new title, Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation. It played in 1995?

I saw it in NYC in September of 1997, not in 1995, so that would be correct.

Erick H. · 04-28-2006, 08:16 AM

I saw 15 of the top 22 in the theater,including MUTE WITNESS.A few gems,also a lot of dross.

04-28-2006, 08:19 AM
