Celluloid Screams in Sheffield did a half hour just of adverts from the 80s at the end of last year (plus ads, etc). It was brilliant. Would love to sit through a movie's worth of them... and then go home and watch all the movies
I used to love all those 70s/80s things including the Pearl*and Dean advert...

The voice on the Odeon guy in the second video (about 5.00) used to really annoy me. The Dolby Digital ad to be on laserdiscs too.
"I'll be your dog, I'll be your dog... woof woof..." :cool:
My local cinema still had an area for the orchestra until quite recently

Favourite ad was this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJvL5pyNucg it looked so good on a really big screen, would love to see it in HD.
I also remember the 'Beware, Thieves are silent' snake promo, always used to hiss along to it, can't find it on youtube though.
yeah - not sure if it was a cinema ad, but here it is

Don't they show Pearl and Dean anymore? I'm sure I saw their intro not so long ago.
I know this is a very old thread, but I too am searching for this snake PSA and wondered if you (or anyone else) ever succeeded in finding a copy?
Ahhh. No phones / or iPads. People were much more polite. Usherettes in each screening to kick out nobs who were mucking about.
The 80s were awesome for movies!
Yep. You could really sit down and watch, Mac and me, missing in action, or brakin' 2: electric boogaloo in peace.....:D
