Stanford Theatre

On Friday we decided to have our date night at the Stanford Theatre. This was the third or fourth time that we went, and we haven't been disappointed yet. The theatre plays old movies, typically ones in black and white. This week, though, they had the 1940s films enhanced using Technicolor. High tech. :)

There were two films that played this week. The first was An Apartment For Peggy. The second was Margie. Originally, we were just going to stay for the first movie, but ended up staying for both. In between movies, they also have live organ music played on an organ that rises up out of the stage (see picture above). If anything else, it is worth going for the organ concert.

One of the reasons that I really like movies here is that they make you think. For example, in Margie, it is all about high school kids and how they worry so much about what other people think. But most of the time, what they worry about is really only imagined, like being embarrassed about something your parents did when in actuality it was something pretty important. Anyway, it was a funny movie and I would recommend anyone in the area to stop by the theatre. You're almost always bound to get a good (and clean) show.
