I remember this theater as a kid growing up in S. Florida. We would sometimes go here, even though it was a bit of a drive, if what we wanted to see wasn’t playing anywhere closer. Though I’m sure there were others, the first film I remember seeing here was The Jazz Singer (dragged by my parents), and then I saw The Seduction, with Morgan Fairchild. And when I was a freshman in high school, I went to see Fanny & Alexander, but it was a little too sophisticated for me. I think the last two films I saw here were Night, Mother and Blue Velvet.
It really was a nice, big, ornate looking house, and one that thankfully did not succumb to twinning.
Wow, I completely forgot I commented on this over 10 years ago, and had no idea anyone commented on my comment. Walrax, if you’re still out there, I’m not sure if we ever met each other. I do know the outgoing manager was the one who trained me on the projectors, but I could not say who that was. I do remember Richard advertising different cuts of films to get people to come to the theater and then claiming he was unable to get a certain print. The first year I lived in NYC, he showed The Shining and claimed it was a print with the hedge animals scene (which back then had not yet been debunked as having been shot) and when my friend and I showed up, the place was packed and the line to get in was crazy. There was also a small sign on the door saying they were “unable to obtain” the aforementioned version so they would only be showing the regular version. We were already there so we stayed, and it was still sold out.
I remember this place being something of a pit, but it was very close to where I used to work at Tower Records, so I would see films here from time to time. The only two I can recall were Bull Durham and Big Business. I’d much rather go to the 84th street sixplex.
Only went here twice that I can remember- once in 92 for Noises Off and once right before it closed to see The Full Monty. I remembered thinking it was too bad I hadn’t gone more often because it was a cute little theater.
There was nothing terribly spectacular about this theater, but I did find it charming, nonetheless. It was a nice walk when I used to live on 11th street & 3rd Ave. I know I saw quite a few films here, but my memory is fading. Belle Epoque, Metroland, Gods and Monsters, Sirens, and others. Do I remember correctly that the doors from the lobby into the theater were on the side of the house as opposed to the back of it?
I always liked this theater the best of all the 3rd avenue cinemas (on and off) between 57th & 60th. I didn’t have an occasion to go here too many times, but I do remember seeing Big here and then sneaking out of class early to see a matinee of Say Anything the day before it closed.
I remember this place well as I used to work across the street at the Tower Records on 66th and Broadway in the late ‘80s and would go see movies here after work. I remember Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown playing here forever. I know I went several times, but the only films I can recall seeing here were Sex, Lies and Videotape (at a sold out showing on a late Thursday night) and Mystery Train.
I lived in the 3rd Ave North dorm on 11th & 3rd when this theater reopened in ‘89 as a first run theater. I remember seeing The Fabulous Baker Boys, War of the Roses, Internal Affairs and The Hunt for Red October. It was always pretty crowded. I was really stoked to come back after my freshman year summer vacation to find we had a movie theater in the neighborhood. This was a couple years before The Loews Village 7 and the City Cinemas Village East had opened, and even the Loews 19th St was still being finished, so our closest theater in the East Village was Movieland 8th Street. It was a trip to know I could pretty much walk across the street and see a movie.
When it was re-named Cinema Village 3rd Ave, it never played anything I wanted to see. (I felt like all they ever played was animation. Way too much Bill Plympton.)
I moved out of that area in ‘93, but then came back in '96 in an apartment two doors from the dorm. I remember when it turned into a porno theater, but there was nothing to indicate it. Most of the time, we wondered if it was just a rumor because we never saw anyone go in or out. I got up the courage one afternoon to go inside, and sure enough it was a gay porn theater. The place had gotten super seedy and if I stayed 10 minutes it was a lot. Never went back. Lived there til the end of 2000.
This was a great little hole in the wall theater and part of my favorite stretch of movie-ing in the late 80s. It started at the Sutton on 57th and 3rd, then the Gotham, the Manhattan Twin, The DW Griffith, The Baronet/Coronet and ending with Cinema 1,2,3.
The only films I remember seeing here were Lair of the White Worm and The Unbearable Lightness of Being, but I’m sure there were more. To me it felt deceptively large inside (which is always a good thing).
I wish I had gone to the Beekman more, as it was one of the most beautiful theaters in Manhattan in the 80s/90s. When I was in college, I dated a guy named Gary whose brother worked for Cineplex Odeon and he would get our names put at the box office to see free movies, as long as it wasn’t opening weekend. We saw a few things at the Beekman, though the only one I remember was a terrible movie with Molly Ringwald and Robert Lindsay from 1990.
Didn’t go there much at all in the next decade, but it was actually the last movie theater I ever went to in NYC. A week or so before I moved to LA, I went to see Almost Famous for the 2nd time. I was really happy I got to spend one more movie there.
This was probably my least favorite theater in NYC, due to the fact that the air conditioner was always broken in the summer and the heat was always broken in the winter, and the projection could sometimes be sketchy. But for some reason, I went on a lot of dates here. Impromptu, Soapdish, Shadowlands, Reality Bites and that terrible movie with Jon Bon Jovi and all the women…
Those mentioning Sex and the City, the theater was used three times in the first season, either as a backdrop or with the girls meeting to see a movie.
I definitely remember this place as the York in late 91/early 92. I was at NYU living in the east village and at the time there were no 2nd run theaters. The Worldwide Plaza didn’t convert for a couple more years, so when this was announced, I was super excited to save some money, being a starving student and movie freak.
I only went three times because it was a trek. I used to walk everywhere and I’d head up 1st Ave (which was really a beautiful walk when the weather was nice) and catch a weekday matinee for $2. The theater was kind of a pit at that point, and I want to say that 2 of the three times I was there, I was the only one in the house. I saw 29th Street, Frankie & Johnny and The Addams Family there. Not sure why I never went back after that.
Awww, I loved this place when it was the Biograph, and I never realized it had only just started as such when I first moved to the city. I was 16 ½ and my previous job back home in Florida had been working at a video store. They would never let us check out new releases, so I had decided to educate myself on classic film after seeing A Place in the Sun one night on the late, late show. So when I came to NYC shortly after, I was thrilled to find a place that showed these films.
I had started hanging out with some of the club kids of the late 80s through a friend of mine. They had little use for me, but I became friendly with one of the DJs and he shared my love of old movies so we’d often go together to see double features. Saw Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Alice Adams, Carrie (w/ Jennifer Jones), Adam’s Rib, and my beloved Monty Clift in I Confess and my first of several times seeing A Place in the Sun on the big screen. Once I hit NYU, I stopped going, as I didn’t have as much time and I lived right near Theater 80 (and Kim’s Video, so I’d rent instead), but it was such a treat to get to spend those months seeing classic films on the big screen.
I loved this theater so much. Everything about it was special. Just walking down 8th street and spotting it in the distance gave me a thrill. I think the first movie I saw here was the first run of Hairspray. At the time I lived midtown east and worked at Tower Records at Lincoln Center so I didn’t go downtown a whole lot to see movies unless it was for something I couldn’t get closer. In the Fall of 88 I started NYU so I was right near it and my attendance increased.
I recall convincing a group of my fellow freshman theater students to come one night to see the Rocky Horror Picture Show because I’d heard how amazing the live show was, but I didn’t realize it was pretty much on its last legs and was less than exciting, and everyone thought I was crazy for suggesting it. Saw many other films here such as Running on Empty (which moved me so much, I remember crying the entire way back to my dorm), Driving Miss Daisy, Pretty Woman, Reversal of Fortune, etc. I mostly did matinees so I rarely was there when there was a crowd.
I believe this is the movie theater that is near the Treasure Coast Mall. It opened in Nov/Dec of 1986 and took a lot of business away from the theaters in PSL and Stuart (in the mall and strip mall). I thought it was in Jensen Beach, but it seems the address is Stuart. I seem to remember the building sloped upward and the theaters were on multiple “levels” (or I could be completely misremembering), because I used to do a lot of sneaking into other movies after seeing one and I recall going up some ramps.
I believe the theater opened with such movies as The Golden Child, Mosquito Coast, Little Shop of Horrors, and I also saw The Stepfather, Revenge of the Nerds II, Dirty Dancing, Adventures in Babysitting, La Bamba…
Trying to remember when this theater opened, maybe 1985? I moved to Port St. Lucie in the summer of 1986 to live with my grandparents after my parents split up, but we also used to drive up to visit them for several years prior to that and this theater didn’t exist. They lived very close to this movie theater, so it was a very quick drive. It was in a plaza with a huge Publix grocery store and the movie theater was around the back.
Very standard auditoriums for the time, nothing special, but definitely new and shiny. They had $1 Tuesdays, so I would see a lot of movies here. Ruthless People, Stand By Me, Star Trek IV, Big Trouble in Little China, Masters of the Universe, Howard the Duck, The Principal, Masters of the Universe, Innerspace, Ishtar, The Believers, The Witches of Eastwick, Spaceballs, Superman IV, Stakeout and so many more.
I worked in the mall in Stuart, and I’ve been looking for the theater listings from Stuart (two theaters, a triplex in the mall and a twin close by in a strip mall) and Jensen Beach (the theater near the mall that opened in 1987) and a triplex or quad further east, but the theater information from those three towns is woefully paltry.
I saw a ton of movies here. When we lived in Ft. Lauderdale, we’d have to drive all the way across town to come here, and sometimes we’d get stuck in traffic on Hollywood/Pines Blvd if there was a concert at the Hollywood Sportatorium. Though I’m sure there others before it, the first movie I remember seeing here was The Amityville Horror in ‘79. Went here a lot in 1980 (The Shining, Xanadu, Seems Like Old Times) until the Sheridan 7 opened, as they often showed the same films. We moved to Hollywood about 8 months later and I could ride my bike to the theater so I used to go see movies after school. The theater was all the way down the end of the indoor mall. The mall kind of sucked, but there was a great little record store right next to the theater that I used to kill time in.
I am super confused by this ad because I used to live just west of University Blvd in a brand new apartment complex off Pines Blvd and lived maybe 2 miles from this movie theater. I distinctly remember it opening in the Fall of 1985 because I would go there all the time. I remember the movies I saw there, and I also remember they had dollar nights (maybe Tuesdays). I saw Day of the Dead, That Was Then, This is Now, Re-Animator, Ginger and Fred, and then later on in 1986 I saw several others such as Back to School, Ruthless People, Running Scared, Legal Eagles, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off… Did UA maybe take it over in ‘86? I would bet my life it was open earlier than that.
I also worked at the movie theater that was mid-way between University and this multi-plex. It was a single screen theater that was a 2nd run house and it also housed a video store and restaurant. The theater had table service. We opened in the late Fall of ‘85 when I was a senior in high school and I worked there for about four months. I can’t remember the name of the theater but it was owned and operated by the same couple who owned Neighborhood Box Office (video store) in Pembroke Pines. This was their 2nd location. It was a great idea and fairly innovative for the time and place (table service in the theater) but the owner picked really shitty movies and I think went out of business in less than a year.
I saw so may movies at this theater when we moved to Hollywood. I was there so often that I got to know the owner fairly well. He used to give me old movie posters after he was done with them. In 1985 he began showing The Rocky Horror Picture Show on Saturday midnights and we convinced him to let us do a live cast for a few months. I saw everything here from The last American Virgin to Amadeus.
I remember when this theater was being finished in the summer of 1989. I had just come back to FL after my freshman year of college and was staying with a friend’s family for the summer so I could get out of the city for a few months. I took a few part time jobs, one of which was at the old GCC Broward Mall Cinema. The manager of that theater, a woman named Margie, was put in charge of the Fountains 8 and left us with a young woman who was much closer in age to the staff and we loved her and she let us get away with murder.
Margie was a bitch and a hard ass so we were happy to get rid of her. I recall the Fountains having some last minute issues and one night, shortly after opening, the A/C blew out and they had to bring the print of When Harry Met Sally, which was having a sneak preview, to the Broward Mall Theater. Of course, no one called to tell us this before we started getting customers arriving at the box office to buy tickets for a movie we didn’t know we were showing.
When The Fountains finally did get going, it was pretty nice. We were allowed to come see any movies there for free, which I took huge advantage of- The Abyss, Lethal Weapon 2, Eddie & The Cruisers 2, Turner and Hooch, Flashback, Shag… And then I went back to NYC and never came back.
My parents lived in Clifton for about 9 months starting around December 87 and when I’d visit them from NYC I’d go to this theater to get a little alone time. I guess I was lucky enough to see newer films here because I never got stuck in the smaller screens upstairs. Saw Throw Momma From the Train, Planes, Trains and Automobiles, Poltergeist III, and Vibes, probably a couple others. I liked the place. It felt like a nice little neighborhood theater.
I remember this theater as a kid growing up in S. Florida. We would sometimes go here, even though it was a bit of a drive, if what we wanted to see wasn’t playing anywhere closer. Though I’m sure there were others, the first film I remember seeing here was The Jazz Singer (dragged by my parents), and then I saw The Seduction, with Morgan Fairchild.

I don’t think this is the 1970s, it’s 1988. The marquee reads- Best Picture The Last Emperor.
