AAAhhhhhhh, What Great Movies From the Day!
Michael's got me started on the movies from the good ol' days and now I can't stop! Did everyone enjoy Close Encounters. I was spellbound and mezmerized by the intensity and magic displayed by Richard Dreyfus in that movie. The movie itself kept me looking at every star in the night sky. I remember how my imagination would run wild with anticipation of a starship or saucer, or anything that moved in the night sky that didn't sound like an airplane. Richard Dreyfus became one of my favorite actors...did you see Mr. Holland's Opus? Well, anyway, I've spoken what I came to speak.Nanno, Nanno

I think somehow that Close Encounters affected me more deeply than Star Wars did. You remember they both came out the same year.
Did you know that major portions of C.E. was filmed in Mobile? The end scene's at the Mountain Complex where the Mother ship shows up was filmed in mobile. They picked Mobile because it had an old Dirigible Hanger that no one was using and it was huge enough to reconstruct that complex. The kid, Carry Guffey was from Gadsden also.
That was a great movie! The original did not have the current ending where Richard Dreyfus goes up into the mothership and then we got to see the inside.
you did good Scott!!
Wow...I didn't know that Carry Guffey was from Gadsden. I looked him up and found pics of him with Mayor Means and others cooking for pancake day. He's also a Christian.
