Posters were also framed on the outside of video stores advertising new movies. VID GRID Plenty of movies came to the Rexburg theaters and video rent- al stores to choose from. With the Holiday Theater now having three movie screens, you had more of a selection. The movies usually stayed at the theater for two weeks. The price to see a show was $4.00 per person. Because of this cost, the chea- pest way to see the show was on video. You had to wait for a month or so until it came out on video. For some this did not mat- ter too much because a video cost anywhere from $ .50 to $2.50 and many people could watch it for this low price. With all the video rental stores in Rex- burg, you could get almost any movie you wanted, unless y ou were under age 17. Video par- ties were quite popular. Many teenagers rented videos to watch after a dance or game. During the summer The Teton Drive-In was also a popular place to see the latest movies. The ad- mission was $4.00 per person, but two movies were shown each night. On Cram Car Night , Tuesday, a carload was charged for only the price of one person. During the 1985 summer Junior, Veronica Alba questions, ju- nior, Cindy Black ' s choice while deciding which video to rent. many excellent movies were re- leased. Some were, Back to the Future , Karate Kid , Ghost Busters , and Teen Wolf . Al- though those were great, this summer ' s movies kicked! We had Top Gun , Ferris Bueller ' s Day Off , Back to School , Karate Kid H , The Great Mouse Detective , Laby- rinth , and Pretty in Pink . The number one show of the summer was Top Gun , ac- cording to the National Movie Charts. The show starred Kelly McGillis and Tom Cruise. It went Nearly all the way to the top of the charts after the first week. Jill Baldwin, sophomore, said, My favorite movie was ' Top Gun ' because I like Tom Cruise. The smash hit comedy Ferris Bueller ' s Day Off , starring Mat- thew Broderick was also a favor- ite of many. Jennifer Harris, sophomore, had mixed feelings about her favorite summer mov- ie. She said, It was either ' Top Gun ' , or ' Ferris Bueller ' s Day Off. I can ' t decide. Pretty in Pink was Debbie Beesley ' s fa- vorite. She said this was because, It showed that opposite people can like each other. Student Life Summer Movies 7
