Hi TVTA, it may be a simple sans serif font but the ABC Movies image brings back some great memories for me. As a child my local cinema was an ABC/Cannon cinema and my father knew the chief projectionist so I got to see a few “special screenings” and was allowed numerous visits to the projection room. The projector was complex and quite rare so only three people in my town who knew how to operate the cinema’s projector – the Chief, his assistant and me! Thanks for the flashbacks!

What a treat to have been able to go into the projection room back in the day and find out how it all works! Cool little story.

Every now and then I would get theatrical posters too but alas they either got damaged through time or “disappeared”. Even to this day I look for the little black timing markers in the corner of the screen of old films and “count in” when the next reel of film should be sett rolling.
