I SAW RUSS MEYER’S “BEYOND THE VALLEY OF THE DOLLS”,“INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS”,“THE LEGEND OF BOGGY CREEK"and"MY NAME IS NOBODY"with TERENCE HILL and HENRY FONDA. WHEN I MOVED TO FARMINGDALE VILLAGE in "1976” THE PRICE OF A TICKET WAS .76 CENTS.

SOME TIME IN THE"80’S" A CAR CRASHED IN INTO THE LOBBY,SMASHING THE ORIGINAL “1948"GLASS AND WOOD FRAME WINDOWS.IT WAS REPLACED WITH METAL FRAMES AND NEW GLASS.IF YOU DIDN’T KNOW AFTER THE REPAIR IT LOOKED THE SAME.

THE FIRST MOVIE I SAW THERE WAS “MARY POPPINS”,LATER I SAW"COOL HAND LUKE"and"THE EMMIGRANTS"with MAX VON SYDOW and LIV ULLMAN.WHEN I MOVED TO LINDENHURST I WOULD PAY $1.00 IN LATE “70’S"and"EARLY"80’S.FOR ONE DAY THE THEATER WAS A DRIVE-IN "HA,HA”!

I SAW “THE GREEN BERETS”,“WILL PENNEY”,“AIRPORT”,“THE ODD COUPLE"AND MANY MORE.IT WAS A NICE THEATER BUT I THINK THEY WERE STARTING TO BUILD TOO MANY.THE INDUSTRY WAS SAYING TICKET RECIEPTS WERE DOWN IN THE LATE"60’S, BUT THEY BUILT MORE TAKING AWAY FROM THEATERS LIKE THE BABYLON THEATER.

THIS THEATER WAS THE GREATEST SUB POP CULTURE MOVIE HOUSE ON LONG ISLAND EVER! THEY SHOWED CONCERT FILMS,CULT MOVIES AND SOME CLASSICS.FROM THE MARX BROTHERS TO CULT MOVIES LIKE"THE HARDER THEY COME" with JIMMY CLIFF TO JIMMIE HENDRIX CONCERT MOVIES and MORE!

I SAW" THE TEN COMMANDMENTS",DEBBY REYNOLDS&TONY CURTIS in" GOOD-BYE CHARLIE",DORIS DAY in A SPY COMEDY"CAPRICE", and “WID-WAY” with CHARLTON HESTON in SENSOR-ROUND THERE.WHEN I HAD SEEN THE THEATER HAD BEEN GUTTED I HAD TO TAKE A LOOK IN SIDE,I SAW EXPOSED SOME OLD DESIGNS ON THE WALLS and AN OLD SINGLE BOX OFFICE BOOTH WRAPPED AND MARKED SAVE.IT WAS SAD.

I LOVED THIS THEATER,I SAW THE TEN COMMANDMENTS,TORA,TORA,TORA,A CLOCK WORK ORANGE, AND MANY OTHERS THERE.IT’S A SHAME SOME HISTORICAL SOCIETY DIDN’T TRY TO SAVE IT BEFORE IT DECAYED.

THIS IS THE EDITION I SAW WHEN I WAS SIX YRS OLD IN 1962.I LOVED PUPPET-TOON ANIMATION WITH THE DRAGON,BUDDIE HACKETT and TERRY THOMAS WAS VERY FUNNY.I’M ALSO A BIG FAN OF RAY HARRIHAUSEN.I HAVE THE DVD “HOW THE WEST WAS WON"WITH THE STORY OF CINERAMA DISC.

ROBBOEHM,GEORGE PAL’S"THE WOUNDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM" WAS MADE IN CINERAMA,I MAY BE WRONG THAT IT WAS SHOWN IN THAT FORMAT AT THE BABYLON THEATER.IT TAKES THREE PROJECTORS SHOWING AT ONE SCREEN AT THE SAME TIME TO MAKE THE CINERAMA EFFECT.LOOK IT UP ON LINE,BUT I DID SEE THE MOVIE AT THE BABYLON THEATER.

IT WAS A HIGH QUALITY SINGLE THEATER IN ITS DAY.I ALWAYS ENJOYED GOING THERE,THE MULTIPLEX THEATERS OF TODAY CAN NOT COMPARE TO THE SINGLE LARGE SCREEN THAT WERE.WIDE SCREEN AT ITS BEST TOBE VIEWED BEN-HUR OR ANY STAR WARS,MULTIPLEX SCREENS DO THEM NO JUSTICE.I LOVED SEEING “WHERE EAGLES DARE"THERE.THE FIRST MOVIE I SAW THERE WAS DIVORCE AMERICAN STYLE,I THINK IT WAS THE FIRST MOVIE TO PLAY THERE IN 1967.

DOES ANYBODY REMEMBER WALDMAN’S SODA FOUNTAIN ON THE CORNER OF MAIN ST. AND FIRE ISLAND AVE.LINES WOULD GO PAST FOR EPICS LIKE DOCTOR ZHIVOGO OR A DISNEY FILM.

THE OLD UNITED ARTISTS THEATER WAS DESIGNED IN 1950’S STYLE MODERN COMPLETE WITH SPITNIK ARTDECO CHANDELIERS.I GREW UP GOING TO THAT THEATER.THE FIRST MOVIE I SAW THERE WAS THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF THE BROTHERS GRIMM IN CINERAMA.
