Story about kinds sneaking in to see the latest releases of Winter 1981-1982, when multiplex theaters were a new thing.

They first see Neighbors with Cathy Moriarty from Raging Bull, Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi.

Ghost Story featured John Houseman, Fred Astaire, Melvyn Douglas, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., all of whom are still alive (just kidding). Swamp Thing starred Adrienne Barbeau.

Vice Squad, about a prostitute forced to work undercover, starred Season Hubley and Wings Hauser.

Kate Mulgrew and Shawn Van Schreiber are kidnapped under Grand Central Station and escape in A Stranger Is Watching. My Dinner With Andre is a conversation between actor Wallace Shawn and playwright Andre Gregory.

Reds was Warren Beatty's epic about Communists in the early 20th century with him and Diane Keaton. In Whose Life Is It, Anyway?, Richard Dreyfuss is a man paralyzed in the hospital who wants to be discharged but deemed unfit.
