Idea: Preserving those theater pre-movie/intermission bits...

I have a tape somewhere of 50’s and 60’s drive-in intermission food ads and trailers. But I was wondering if anyone has anything like that from the 70’s or 80’s? And not just limited to drive-ins. Maybe the pre-movie bit that advertised the theaters, etc…

Just for nostalgia sake they would be fun to watch.

Just googled around for a bit and found this site, don't know if it has exactly what you're looking for, but it's all stuff from the 80's, so maybe? I know what you're talking about with the food ads and all, maybe someone else can help you there.

Gentlemen, you can’t fight in here, this is the war room!

The old one with bright stars traveling across the screen (IIRC?)

I wonder what happened to most of the film intros sent to theaters over the years?

BTW, that site was really cool. I remember watching most of those shows. (especially the 70's ones )
