People buying the popcorn in the cinema lobby had glazing eyes when looking at the poster. Remember, that was before there were DVDs. People were indeed watching movies in the cinema, and not downloading them online. Imagine the packed seats, the laughter, the excitement, the novelty. And mostly all of that without 3D computer effects. Do you know who won the Oscars that year? The academy award for the best movie went to Out of Africa . The Oscar for best foreign movie that year went to The Official Story . The top actor was William Hurt for his role as Luis Molina in Kiss of the Spider Woman . The top actress was Geraldine Page for her role as Carrie Watts in The Trip to Bountiful . The best director? Sydney Pollack for Out of Africa . In the year 1985, the time when you arrived on this planet, books were still popularly read on pa...
