Dante is most known for Gremlins, but Matinee is my favorite of his. Hope it gets a 4K release in the near future.

I'm a huge fan of William Castle and I lived this movie... with my little brother, so I am grateful this film exists.

Un omaggio al regista William Castle, re incontrastato dei trucchi verso il pubblico che si vedono nel film.

matinee (n.) "afternoon performance, an entertainment held in the daytime," 1848, from French matinée (musicale), from matinée "morning" (with a sense here of "daytime"), from matin "morning" (but here "afternoon" or "daytime"), from Old French matines (see matins). Originally as a French word in English; it lost its foreignness by late 19c. For the French suffix, compare journey.

JOE! Quit creasing that great magazine !

Even as a "dumb kid" of the 1960's, I knew that each issue of Famous Monsters of Filmland that I bought fresh off the newsstand was "special" and was to be treated differently than a lowly comic book. It was never to be folded and put down your pants, or assaulted with Silly Putty. There were no mylar bags or acid free backing boards back then, nevertheless I always kept every issue in pristine condition and stored in a sturdy box in my bedroom closet, and on Saturday afternoons (mornings were reserved for cartoons, of course) I'd bring that box out of the closet and reread the stories and look at the pictures of all my favorite monster and sci-fi movies. More than 50 years later, I still have all those magazines. Except now they ARE in mylar bags with acid free backing boards!

This movie gets more & more relative, and more and more eerie with every year that passes.

Agreed, Joe. The movie has a LOT of heart, which is why it is among my favorites.

The final shot of the chopper hit me really hard when I first saw Matinee in the theater. Totally fun and enjoyable film up to that point, then that chopper shot drove home exactly the point Dante was trying to make with it (the point of the shot, not the entire movie). For that reason I consider it not only probably the best expression of the "monster kid" generation's love of movies (any generation's, really) but also a great Vietnam War film, equal to any other. Perfect ending song, too. It's really a perfect movie all-around.

When Dante was talking about his childhood love of monster movies it was like he was talking about me. I too used memorize the TV Guide to know what monster movies were on and we had a run-down old theater in town that showed a lot of monster movies that a week later were probably on TV. Love that Matinee movie. Roger Ebert had a rather philosophical view of old monster movies that they were comforting in a way that you knew who the monster was, you knew what he was up to and he was destroyed in the end.

One of my favorites....saw it twice at the theater.

I love this movie, especially the "Disney" parody with the living shopping cart and the crooks in cartoon crooks costumes.

Joe ought to make a sequel to MATINEE. He could have Mant attack New York City. Call it MANT TAKES MANHATTAN.

Open? What does that mean? YES WE WANT TO SEE IT! PLEASE! Lol, Joe... I love the movie "Matinee" so much. After the Gremlins movies (which I absolute ADORE), Matinee is probably my favourite Joe Dante film.
