The Manos Theatre meant a lot to me when I was teenager because of the first-rate movies I saw there.

Among my favorites: “An Unmarried Woman,” “Coming Home,” “Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?,” “The Muppet Movie,” “Dressed to Kill,” “Body Heat” and “The Dead Zone.”

It was there, too, that I saw the huge flop “Heaven’s Gate” in early 1981, after the movie had been withdrawn and re-edited from 219 minutes to 145 minutes. The Manos was one of the few theaters in Western Pennsylvania that took a chance on booking it.

Even the bad movies bring back good memories!
