I was a student at UGA in the late 80s and early 90s. If I recall correctly, The Classic Triple was a first run theatre until the early 90s. I loved this theatre. The lobby was decorated with pictures of former UGA football players.
The first movie I saw here was Wes Craven’s “Shocker,” opening night. I walked through the lobby, intent on finding a picture of the then-current head coach, Ray Goff. I remember noticing a lot — A LOT of really big dudes in the theatre lobby. When I finally found Goff’s picture, I pointed it out to a friend. He walked away quickly, and that’s when I noticed that the large dudes were the current players, and that Goff himself was sitting below his picture talking to an assistant coach.
Other movies I saw here, mostly when it became a dollar theatre: The Age of Innocence, My Cousin Vinny, The Distinguished Gentlemen, Night and the City…several more.
The most memorable was Menace II Society. It was pretty crowded and a fight broke out. Good times.
Saw a ton of movies here. My brother nearly got us kicked out he cried so bad during The Champ. Others I seem to recall seeing are Grease 2 and American Ninja. I miss Michael Dudikoff.
First movie I saw here was The Gods Must Be Crazy, back in 1981 or 1982. It had played there for nearly a year (maybe more), and one Saturday my daddy said we needed to see what the fuss was about. So we trekked from the suburbs to the Tara.
I remember seeing a midnight advanced screening of Pulp Fiction here in 1994. It had won the Palm d'Or and everyone was so excited. I thought someone would get trampled when they open the doors.
Worked here in 1996 and 1997. Helped run the booth and worked concession. Good times.
