What a quadruple bill

 


Saw this picture on Twitter the other day. Taken at an old American mall that went bust and had been left to rack and ruin for the last 34 years. Man alive, look at that line up. It's pure nostalgia for us of a certain vintage. A foursome you'd happily tire your eyeballs out for. 

Nowadays we'd have The Croods, a Marvel film, maybe a DC film and something designed to win Oscars. This line up just drips OOMPH. I'd swap 2 & 4 though. FMJ would be a massive downer to end on. Actually I'd swap 1 & 3 too. Imagine starting Predator with Long Tall Sally and ending with Robocop introducing himself as Murphy. You'd leave the cinema buzzing.
