Title: I need to identify a 80s Movie
Post by: Rodrigo N. on April 08, 2009, 04:27:32 PM
As a teenager I saw a movie b, whose name I'd like to know and identify. This movie is about a guy who received an inheritance, a autocinema which passed b movies. The plot concerned, broadly speaking, on attempts to rescue from bankruptcy this autocinema. Some data (girls in bikini and a guy dressed in the black lagoon monster) appeared a poster of the classic sixties b movie "I was a teenager caveman".
Someone knows the name of this movie?

Thanxs

Could it perhaps be "Cinema Paradiso"?

Did this feature girls in bikinis or anything like that?  The reason I ask is that Fred Olen Ray made "Bikini Drive-In" (1995) - and he often likes to include little homages to older movies.

I'm wondering if by "autocinema" he means what we would call a "drive-in": a place where you watch movies from your car.  That could narrow it down a bit.
