Right the musical. Won Best Picture I think.

Ah, it was the musical Oliver!

Funny that a search for Oliver Twist didn’t bring up Oliver! at first.

[6] I don’t think so. This was somewhere around 1969 – 72. It was a musical, and I remember it being in color, though IMDB doesn’t have an Oliver Twist from the 1960s or 70s.

I may be conflating it with another movie, we went to that drive in a number of times. Big old station wagon, in our pyjamas. Saw Disney’s Pinocchio there — not really a light-hearted tale, that one.

2) I made a mix tape in college and used that line and then segued into “Stray Cat Blues” by the Stones…

Was it the David Lean “Oliver Twist”? That’s a good one.

Long, long ago my folks took us kids to a drive-in for a double feature of Oliver Twist (IIRC) and Krakatoa: East of Java.

The Film Forum has got to be respected because it’s one of the last true revival houses in New York and because they show restored prints of old movies and run ecclectic series’. That said, I can’t bear to go there because the screens are so small. They are really screening rooms not movie theaters. But beggers can’t be choosers…

The Film Forum includes many double features in their repertory retrospectives. When I worked a couple of blocks away, I’d catch them with regularity.

My local theater did on on Halloween years ago: the original universal Dracula and Frankenstein. A great time was had by all.

Two days ago, I saw a vehicle that'd pull that tanker. You want to get out of here, you talk to me. Like Mad Max, LOVE The Road Warrior

I recall catching a double feature of The Bad News Bears and The Bad News Bears in Breaking Training. I also recall around the same time having my parents tell me I was too young to go see a double feature of Jaws and Jaws 2.
