Star Trek 6: The Undiscovered Country

(Click on images to view full-size!)


The last of the Original Series movies with the full cast. This was clipped from the Friday, Dec. 6th, 1991 edition of the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel. This movie premiered only one day before the first Trek movie did, Dec. 7th, back in 1979.

Below is an interesting Trek-themed ad for the sound system in one of the theaters showing the new movie.

Jurassic Park


Clipped from a June 1993 edition of the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel.

If you like dinosaurs in the present day, much as this film presents, you will get a kick out of the ongoing series of posts I'm doing on another blog. Visit the "Dinosaurs Attack" entries, presenting hi-rez scans of the 1988 Topps card set, over at My Monster Memories!

1954's Jack Slade

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, dated Sunday, Feb 21st, 1954.

And, from the same day's newspaper, this photo from "Hell and High Water."

"Well, uh... I don't know..."

"We've been down here for 6 weeks. All I'm sayin' is, they don't ask, we don't tell."

REMINDER!

The Green Hornet


Clipped from the Macon Telegraph in 1974, this "movie" was merely several episodes of the 60's TV show, edited together and released theatrically to cash in on the public interest after Lee's death.

Superman: The Movie

(Click to view super-sized.)

Full-page ad scanned in from the Friday, April 6th, 1979 edition of the Miami Herald.

Think about it: a full-page ad for a movie that's been in the theater for 17 weeks? Amazing, and something you may never see again. That movie was HUGE.

Batman Returns


Clipped from a Ft. Lauderdale paper in 1992.
Although I stopped clipping most newspaper ads after I got older (I didn't need to clip them when so much material was available, not like when I was a kid), I still did for some like this. Wish I had kept it up longer!

1954's The Stand At Apache River

(Click on images to view full-size.)

Scanned from my copy of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution published February 21, 1954.

Below, an ad for another theater from the same paper. It's a testment to the changing times: today, a movie titled "3 Sailors And A Girl" would more than likely only be available in the back room of the local video store.

Here's an ultra-cool gem of a movie ad from my copy of the Savannah Evening Press, dated Thursday. December 12, 1957. That is one bad girl there.

1953's Walking My Baby Back Home


In some states you could get arrested for that.

From the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, dated Sunday, Dec. 20th, 1953. It looks like they're having w-a-a-a-ay too much fun for a 1950's newspaper!

Baby Face Nelson

(Click on image to view full-size!)

Awesome, dynamic ad scanned from my copy of the Savannah Evening Press, published on Thursday, Dec. 12, 1957. It really grabs your attention; "It slams you in the guts with a bellyful of lead!" Gee, I hope not.

Below is an ad for a local drive-in from the same paper. You can almost smell the popcorn and pizza, can't you?


Although I can't say that "Made in Mississippi with an All-Southern Cast!" makes me want to view that movie to any greater degree.
