The "movies you enjoyed as a child" thread really brought me back in time. This thread is for general reminiscing. Anything goes -- movies, historical events, economics, flashbacks

Maybe something you remember will remind someone else of something interesting. Since there's a huge age span in TFP demographics, this could be interesting.

My start:

I remember when my bedtime was after the Patty Duke show.

I remember my mom wearing a paisley sequined dress when she went to an "affair" (that was terminology for a wedding or bar mitzvah).

I remember when Bobby Sherman was big and how much I hated him.

I remember pulling into the local Gulf gas station and my mom saying, "Two dollars, please" to nearly fill the Dodge's gas tank. I remember that the guy that pumped it would check the oil and water AND give her green stamps.

I remember sneaking into my brother's room late at night to watch Creature Features with him.

So what do you remember today?
