As a student at the Art Institute I saw Romancing the Stone and Dune at the Columbia (and severla others I can’t remember)in abt 1984. It was seldom full and we would show up early and stand on the slope that went up to the screen and run lines from great movies or simply turn cartwheels! Loved the old cinema so much when in 1986 I discoveded that my date and I both loved the movie “The Color Purple” and that it was playing at the Columbia we drove the 80 plus miles from my home to attend a showing for our FIRST DATE it was SO amazing to see such a beautiful movie on that huge screen… and BTW we will be married 25 years next year!
