Thank you MSC77, that seals it for Highland Quartet and ROTJ. I remember actually having to wait in a literal line for the next showing too. Those days are along gone..
I began going to the Malco 10 (as it was then known) in 1990 at age 14. Saw so many films there throughout the 1990s. The first Rated-R theater experience I had was there, TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS. Among my favorite film-going experiences that I had there: GOODFELLAS, JFK, PULP FICTION, SEVEN, CASINO, FARGO, JACKIE BROWN, THE THIN RED LINE… those were some of the high spots during my later teens and early 20s. Great memories.
I’m hoping someone can maybe help me confirm my foggy childhood memories. I believe I had my first movie going experiences at this theater. At least, I think it was either the, Poplar Plaza, Highland Quartet or the Ridgeway Four.
I’m fairly certain one of the first things I ever saw was PINOCCHIO and maybe several other Disney classics (SLEEPING BEAUTY and DUMBO, maybe) around say 1980 or 1981? I was all of 4-5 so it’s hard to say. I’m like 99% positive I also saw POPEYE (the Robert Altman film) around that same time too. I feel fairly certain that was at the Ridgeway, but may have been the Quartet.
Also, I’m fairly sure that I saw STAR WARS in 1982 during a re-release when I was 6 but I couldn’t say where. If I had to guess, I would say the Poplar Plaza. And I know for 99.9% I saw RETURN OF THE JEDI at the Quartet in 1983 on opening day.
Would love to know for certain if those films played there.

I think the Disney films were too because I remember thinking that the outside looked very “plain”.

Sure wish I could take a time machine and confirm my fuzzy memories… silly to wish to do such a thing but seeing these photos and discussing the past tends to bring out those types thoughts.

@staylor066 I saw POPEYE too but I cannot remember the theater, I was all of like 4 or 5.
I remember my mom and dad taking us to go see THE KARATE KID II and TOP GUN in 1986. Good times..
