"Before the Movie"

"Before the Movie" ...haha, I thought for sure this was going to be a thread on first date ideas or the half-life of rohypnol.

Hm, I think American Graffiti and Saturday Night Fever and Desperately Seeking Susan all had a pretty big effect on fashion/culture. Before the movie Flashdance women went to aerobics with unwarmed legs. Before the movie Beat Street I had never owned a cardboard box for fresh handglides.

Before the movie The Bridges of Madison County there was no real industry for covered bridge tours. Also, love did not exist.

Before the movie The Great Train Robbery there were no movies.

Before the movie Hotel Rwanda I don't think many people cared about that. There are many such examples of movies increasing awareness/acceptance.

good question, I need to think about it some more. I think before the movie The China Syndrome people were more open-minded about nuclear power. I think before the movie Thelma and Louise life was simpler.
