I’m a sucker for seeing classic movies back on the big screen so when one of my “10 jujubees” movies is showing, I’m going to go see it. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve seen Flashdance but I do know that I saw it at least 5 times when it originally came out in theatres in 1983. Most of those screenings were at a United Artists theatre in Griffith, Indiana for the matinee price of $2.00.

Even back then, the 90-minute music video that is Flashdance captivated me. It’s corny and there’s a lot of it that doesn’t make sense but I loved it then and I still do, so getting to see it again in a theatre, surrounded by 4 other highly intelligent people was a treat.

My only complaint was that Fathom Event screenings seldom go off without a hitch and this was no different so someday it would be nice to have that remedied but that couldn’t ruin the chance to see a movie in my Top 25!
