That’s the spirit :)

Cinema sound has presumably come on a fair bit in 25 years

Can’t wait to hear the podrace sequence


And duel of the fates!!

I saw it in theaters on opening night.
I saw the 3D reissue in theaters.
I don't need any more theater views of this one.

I came from what turned out to be my last REM show and ran into town straight into the midnight screening for the first showing of this. I was a sweaty panting mess and people either side of me thought it was I was excited. I was but it was from leaving a concert and then running three miles into the city :)

Happier times :)

I like phantom. I’m excited to see it on the big screen again.

I worked with a girl for ages who was a massive star wars/star trek fan. When this movie was announced to be released she divulged she was the president of the Australian Science Fiction Association, and I could get tickets to an advance screening 9:30 the night of release (before the midnight screening).

It took my Dad and we started the tradition of seeing the films opening night.

I clearly remember seeing the pod racing scene and of course Duel of The Fates.

MY Dad and I loved the movie and I remember as we left past the line up of people waiting for the midnight screening my Dad smiling, shaking everyones hand and saying "its good, its so good".

I of course brought this on video, and my VCR had a temperamental EJECT button so this one stayed in rotation for months on end. My wife still reminds me about how many times she has seen this film.

Good memories
