My dad had a commercial film company, so he had a videotape player

My dad had a commercial film company, so he had a videotape player before anyone. So he got Mel Brooks movies or Citizen Kane or some classic old movies. And every summer the revival house in Evanston would show the great films from the 50s and 60s and 70s. – John Cusack
