You seem to have forgotten a few movie theaters such as those along Muldoon and at least one adjacent to the New Seward Highway and Dowling(?). The names are escaping my grey cells right now. And the "art" movie theater in the shopping mall along Tudor between Lake Otis and Boniface. As well as all of those "theaters" in Spenard/all over town; that is, IF you can consider those "theaters" :-)

Randall - Thank you for bringing up more Anchorage movie theatres. We didn't forget them, we just ran out of room. It's a technical thing. We appreciate you bringing them up.

In 1970, my mother took several friends and I to see “Woodstock,” which was R rated for some nudity. I think it was at Denali. We were all 13 and couldn’t go alone, but had to be with a parent. I was her only child, but was with 3-4 other boys. The ticket taker asked, “Are all these boys your sons?” My Mom said without missing a beat, “We’re still trying for a girl.” He let us in. Mom left and came back to pick us up.
