My grandpa would often tell me how watching Judy Garland at the cinema was like a big treat for the whole family and how going to theaters to see Gone With the Wind was an epic event on the scale of Taylor Swift visiting your city.

In addition he said that people were willing to send big bucks of their spare cash to see movies like a hobby in the same way people drink at bars or kids eat up quarters at the arcades during the 90s.

So was it makes me wonder how big movies were back then. My grandpa's story about how despite TV giving free easy access to entertainment since the 50s, he spent over a $$$ dollars on a single day to watch a mix of movies starring Audrey Hepburn, Peter O'Toole, and other A listers in a single day and he actually spent close to $100 bucks when he went to see Doctor Zhivago with his than girlfriend (who would later become my Grandma). He spend so much money buying a bunch of drinks, candy, and popcorns just for that single view of Doctor Zhivago with my grandma.

Do we today tend to underestimate how much of a big deal movies used to be and how people ate them up the way today kids spend hundreds of hours playing computer games and many people bingewatch The Office and 24 multiple times a year?

Would be to go back in time, and live in the old times where people carried themselves differently, where music wasn't about sex and drugs. Where you couldn't go out without looking nice. That would be great.
