I saw a few movies here when I was stationed at DLI in the late 90’s. I saw Boogie Nights and The Big Lebowski here. At that time, there wen’t any really good theaters in Monterey, just this one, the State on Alvarado, and the one at the mall. For big time movies like Star Wars Episode I, I drove to Santa Clara to see it in a good theater with stadium seating.
This was where I saw movies when I was really young, in the early 80’s before the Litchfield theater opened on Austell Road. I remember seeing ET here. I remember being dragged out, crying, at the end of ET, screaming for ET to come back! One of my earliest memories. I was 4 years old.
This was THE theater in the Austell area in the late 80’s and early 90’s. It started off as a Litchfield theater, and upon researching it, the Litchfield company seemed like an offshoot of a South Carolina-area real estate company. The intro clip before the movie had an eerie, serene sequence with guitar music and an animation with sea oats. The logo can be seen to this day by going to litchfieldbeach.com even though this is for the real estate company. At some point in the 90’s it was bought by Regal Cinemas. I saw most movies here, from Star Trek V in 1989 all the way to Contact in 1997. However, by the mid-90’s stadium seating was getting big and for big blockbusters like Independence Day I would drive all the way to Alpharetta to enjoy it in a modern theater. This theater exists today only as some kind of church.
This is the best Rome has to offer, and it sucks, just like the dead mall it sits near. When will Rome get a really good theater?
