Remembering Good Times at the Cinema

[CB2001]

Keep these pictures coming, guys. Love 'em. And be thankful that we were lucky to grow up in the times that we did.

Got another one. Closed earlier this year. Regal Cinema at Governor's Square 12 in Tallahassee (another placed I used to go when I attended Florida State University). I found out that recently, Florida State University has acquired the theater for their film school.

1976-1999.

Where I saw Star Trek 2, and The Last Starfighter.

Torn down over 25 years ago.

I wonder if people thought the movie screens in these theaters were small at the time and before they closed? As I would guess that the majority of those screens were still bigger than most luxury home theater screens.

And many theaters like that Ashley Cinema posted on the other page had really cool designs.

I have fond memories of several theaters in my town, all of them gone. Here's one.
The Regency Twin (although opened as one big theater that was twinned in the 70s).
It had rocking seats. When not showing the movie, they'd project a trippy image through (I surmise) two or three slowly turning thin discs containing some sort of lava lamp, colored goo.
Although the ceiling was very high, somehow a playing card got stuck into the corner of one of the tiles. It was either a club or a spades.
Among the films I saw there were Raiders, Star Trek III, Empire, Jedi.
