Ok, a day has passed, so my partial answer of what I think the movie titles are: (1996, ****) >! 1. (10/3, 187). Merlin’s Shop of Mystical Wonders. (1955, ***) >! 2. (8/1, 150) Revenge of The Creature. 1 (1990, ****) >! 3. (10/1, 185) Soultaker. (1958, ***) >! 4. (9/3, 174) The Space Children. (1980, ***.) >! 5. (9/6, 177) The Pumaman. (1962, ***) >! 6. (5/13, 108) The Brain that wouldn’t die. (1956, ***) >! 7. (4/16, 87) Fire Maidens from Outer Space. Edit to add: The new movies in the Hint are (Thanks Stiv, and good pickup Chengarda): (1978, ****) >! 8. (11/4, 201) Avalanche (1966, ***) >! 9. (4/24, 95) Manos: The Hands of Fate HINT 2: >! One thing that all the movies have in common is that they have all featured on Mystery Science Theatre 3000 (hence the first part of the title “At the theatre”). I have updated each movie’s entry with the season/episode and the overall episode number. I’m also noticed that >! The movie’s year is followed by either 3 or 4 asterisks So I’m guessing that > ! The number of asterisks tells us which letter position to use within each title. Since there are 3 or 4 asterisks, and the years are always 4 digits, there’s a link between the asterisks and the digits of the year? Hints 3 and 4 were puzzling - how on earth could you make an F, let alone a J. Then it struck me that the stars could represent >! The first letter of the (stars)th name of the starring cast, eg in order as shown in the posters. >! Hint 1 Avalanche cast names are rock hudson, mia Farrow. Hint2 Manos cast names are tom neumann John reynolds. >! Also the . for Pumaman could be because the leading star has 3 names, so indicated to take his surname instead of the first name of the following star. Unfortunately, for the puzzle, this seems to give HL 1 SAAVS, Which doesn’t seem helpful
