Imagine watching 1,000 films in the same theatre. For this Cambridge man it's a reality

For most people, going to the movies is something you do every once in a while. But for Timothy Hunter, it's become a weekly tradition for 25 years. It's my 1000th movie! Get out! I'm so excited! He's about to hit a pretty big milestone. His 1000th movie right here at this cinema in Cambridge. I mean, I've been going weekly for 25 years and it hasn't broken my bank. I'm not like super rich or anything. If you go on Half Price Tuesdays, it's like $10 a head. We've been having date night for 20 bucks. I think it's one of the cheapest forms of entertainment out there and definitely worthwhile. What was the feeling when you came out of the theater after that first movie? I remember walking out thinking, that was wild, like, never seen anything like that. It was so cool, and just the feeling of fun and lightheartedness and enjoyment. So I thought that was, like, I really enjoyed that, and I wanted to keep going back, recapture that, and I started weekly from there. A Thousand Movie is huge. I've been around 30 years. I have not seen A Thousand Movies. He knows everyone here, especially the staff that have been here a long time. Any of our staff that we've hired recently get to know him really well pretty quick. He interacts with them. They interact with him all the time, and they have a really great relationship. They're always talking about movies, sharing tidbits about movies. They'll talk before the movie, after the movie. Everyone loves Tim. Can you talk about the movie that you picked for The Thousandth Movie? We decided to go with a new Street Fighter movie coming out soon. The reason being, I have three sons, like school age, so I didn't want to go with something that would be too mature rated for them. My favourite film ever was, I do like Kangaroo Jack, but 300 was my favourite one. It was the only time I walked out and I went right back in and watched it again. I've never felt that. I feel that these movies are made with the idea that they should be seen in theatres. so if they got greenlit by a company to make it to the big screen you're kind of doing them doing them a disservice by watching them at home. I think it just enhances everything I mean you're when you're watching it you're enjoying it more the the memory of it will be longer-lasting you get things like people applauding at the end of the movie on a really good film like you wouldn't get that at home and just people laughing about certain parts like enjoying it together is part of it.
