I attended UB from 1984-1989 and saw many movies here, especially when I lived right across the street in the dorms. Along with Tops, it’s one of the few businesses still open from that era, with Record Theater closing very recently. I saw ‘The Wall’ (Pink Floyd) and ‘Platoon’ at this theater for the first time (I’ve seen each multiple times since then), but those two in particular stand out. I’ll always link the power of those films with the Amherst Theater.
