Bob used to screen 16mm prints of old tv shows as well as classics as you mention.<br /><br />Dave's Encore Cinema was more art house. He also had the market sewn up for film adaptations of high school texts - I saw Macbeth with my class. It started out on Pitt Street, I think where Metro is. When the building was pulled down he moved to 105 Elizabeth Street but was only there a few years before closing down (and it became the Mandarin Cinema, then the Mandolin)Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03279851683191448626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172829701082236562.post-74404548746007697792011-06-15T02:07:47.178+02:002011-06-15T02:07:47.178+02:00There's a Valhalla Cinema in Sydney Too!

I remember watching The Trip,Psych Out,Wild In The Streets and the Wild Angels there. It's no longer there. Below some info about the cinema :- <br /> <br />In Dave’s Encore Cinema at 64 Devonshire St, Surry Hills which opened in 1987, operated for over ten years at this site. Previously, it resided in Sydney at Anzac House,The Forum , Hyde Park and Tom Mann Theatre, Central Station.<br />As well as hosting live performances and various functions, the double-billed repertory programming was sourced from a 13,000 reel private collection of 16mm and 35mm film stored in the basement. A number of related items from the massive archive were dispersed in an estate sale in 2002.<br />The significant collection of 3D prints provided sell-out showings of films like Andy Warhol’s Frankenstein.<br />Other full houses were provided by monthly screenings of the latest Hindi and Tamil productions long before the western craze with all things Bollywood.<br />Barrie Pattison’s Zombie Brigade received its east coast premiere here, too...<br /><br /><br />joeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172829701082236562.post-74835673198970017762011-06-14T02:31:29.482+02:002011-06-14T02:31:29.482+02:00I knew that.

One for the local market and one for the US. The Danish version contains some scenes with slapstick humour that I could have been without, LOL.Jack Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17922020382952236097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172829701082236562.post-85838084382644704652010-04-19T05:52:16.646+02:002010-04-19T05:52:16.646+02:00hi there again Jack J,these were some of the first...hi there again Jack J,these were some of the first films I bought when i started collecting dvds.I've got that Reptilicus dvd you mentioned.I believe it was filmed in your neck of the woods.Thanks for the list.I can see that there's quite a few I didn't get.<br />TombeiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172829701082236562.post-35964642006517118282009-08-14T16:36:39.903+02:002009-08-14T16:36:39.903+02:00Fred; Sorry to hear about your neck and pain.
