This place has been around for ages, other than Movieworld its probably the only theater in the area that is still there. I remember it used to a two screen theater. Saw Raiders of the Lost Ark here and Young Sherlock Holmes, then later on it became a multiplex, then went another renovation in the 2000s, and a few years ago went yet another renovation.

This one always seemed like a small theater, and despite being small it has multiple screens, its one of the few of the original theaters in the area that is still around and hasn’t changed that much over the years.

I remember this theater had only two screens, it seemed kind of outdated in a time when multiplexes like the one in Whitestone and Valley Stream became the norm. That being said, I saw quite a few great films here, saw both Superman 1 and 2, and also Batman and Batman Returns, the comic book movies that blazed a trail for the ones we got today. They eventually closed and reopened as a multiplex that is still there.

I remember this theater very well, saw a lot of good films here, saw Return of the Jedi here, also Transformers the Movie, Star Trek 2, and Dances with Wolves. I remember back before the theater on the other side was renovated, this one as actually the better of the two, good times. Now two hotels are open at the site.
