I worked at the Belle Meade Theatre shortly before it closed. I believe one of the last premieres was “Ernest Goes To Jail”. Randall “Tex” Cobb and the late Jim Varney attended. The building didn’t seem to be in very good condition and business appeared to be slow on a regular basis. Some of the last films I recall being shown were “Hunt For Red October” and “Days Of Thunder”. I think Harry Vickous was the last manager. We cranked up the sound extremely loud on “Days Of Thunder” at some point and might have blown and amp (or at least some fuses).

I remember cranking up the audio on “Days Of Thunder” extremely loud. I think we might have blown an amp (or at least some fuses) that day but I won’t admit it.
