Today is the 36th anniversary of the opening of the (semi) legendary The Point complex of bars which included the UK's first multiplex cinema in Milton Keynes.
I was one of the first ushers to work in the AMC Cinema inside when it opened. Part of my job was to sit at the back of every screening we were put into, to help folks that wanted to know where the popcorn stall or toilets were but hardly anyone ever did. So I ended up just sitting through hundreds of films, usually 4 a day! There were some great movies that didn't hang around long but were great to see multiple times on the big screen, Subway, Mishima, Night of The Living Dead to name a few, but by FAR the one film that stayed in the multiplex the longest at that time was Back To The Future. I must have seen it literally dozens of times but actually still love it, it was one of those rare movies that there is no limit to the amount of times I saw it.
