This reference is an advertisement from The Age, in 1984. It gives a clear idea of the type of films that were shown at The Agora. These are family oriented films, which are suitable for people of all ages. The two films featured in this particular advertisement are The Big Chill (1983) and Moscow on the Hudson (1984).
The Big Chill is a drama/comedy about a group of former college friends who have a weekend reunion after the funeral of one of their friends. This film stars Tom Berenger, Glenn Close and Jeff Goldblum (IMDb, 2003).
The film Moscow on the Hudson is about when a Russian musician defects in Bloomingdaleâs department store in New York and finds adjusting to American life more difficult than imagined. This is also a comedy and stars Robin Williams, Maria Conchita Alonso and Cleavant Derricks (IMDb, 2002).
This reference is very reliable and can add to discussion in this field as it paints a picture of The Agora being a family friendly environment. It appears that young children and adults could go for a nice relaxed night out as well as some laughs, due to the type of films shown. It continues the story of how the Agora developed, operated and explores how it was enjoyed as a venue.
Students, teachers and historians will be interested in this resource, as well as any small cinema enthusiasts.
