During the 60&#8217;s <em>M$M<\/em> would run the same movie twice a day for a week! I guess the idea was based on movie theaters where the same movie would be shown several times a day for a week or two. This enabled you to watch a movie over and over and the ability to do that before VCR&#8217;s and home video got a lot of youngsters interested in filmmaking. George Romero, director of <em>Night Of The Living Dead<\/em> has said that watching <em>Tales Of Hoffmann<\/em> over and over on <em>M$M<\/em> inspired him to pursue a career in film. This is where I first saw films that got me interested in filmmaking. <em>Lord Of The Flies<\/em>, <em>The Boy With The Green Hair<\/em>, <em>Robinson Crusoe<\/em>, <em>The Crawling Eye<\/em>, <em>King Kong<\/em>, <em>Citizen Kane<\/em>, <em>The Magnificent Ambersons<\/em>, <em>Two Women<\/em>, <em>La Dolce Vita<\/em>, etc., etc. Someone was programming European Art Films from the 50&#8217;s as this ad demonstrates. So to the unknown programmer, wether living or up in Film Valhalla, a million thanks from all the incipient filmmakers you inspired.<br \/>\n<object width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kPouWic4qq0&#038;rel=1\"><\/param><param name=\"wmode\" value=\"transparent\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/kPouWic4qq0&#038;rel=1\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" wmode=\"transparent\" width=\"425\" height=\"355\"><\/embed><\/object><br \/>\nThis is the opening for <em>Million Dollar Movie<\/em> that was used during the 1970&#8217;s.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found an old ad for the wonderful Million Dollar Movie!
