[ClosedMovieTheaters]

This would be a dream come true find to video for me.

[RQVOutdoorMoovies]

I've been drawn to old abandoned drive in theaters for decades, documenting many on my public access tv shows. Indoor theaters, not so much...so, thank you for taking me inside this decaying urban landscape, the footage is truely beautiful. Two video suggestions 1: snack bar graffiti AND 2: weird drive in moment.....Does any one know what the name of the DRIVE IN THEATER, which was on the site prior?

[METALMAN4Wii]

How you Guys get it if the Doors were locked ? also it's a shame the Power was turned off Because you guys could have watched a movie......!

[vigo894]

I would love to do this. Only problem is, that they  enforce No Trespassing here with a vengeance. And everyone here uses mutant guard dogs.

[musicman257]

very cool what was the name of the song.my friend was at an old theater.in ga he got in somehow.and they left some of the equipment behind.he got hime some big home theater speakers and a couple of amps that sill worked i was suprised to se some of these theaters when abandon how they leave the suff behind sometimes.

[nexgenhippy]

you need to check behind the screens if you can as there sometimes are a goldmine of big speakers hidden in there..

[djdannyray]

Cool music . Original ?

[DgenerationX12345]

its a damn shame i saw so many movies there including terminator 3 and all three spider mans

[enigma413]

It's really a shame to see such places be abandoned and torn down. I miss the drive-in theaters.

[Halfbloodprince101]

Same. But im lucky. There is still an open Drive-in theatre near my place :D

[turkey2teriyaki]

realy? lol oh i never new cause like i never go in there but the sign that says what movies are out is still up

[turkey2teriyaki]

the reason that the outside looks so fresh is because it used to be open like 4 years ago , i remember going there to watch movies cause it was totaly empty because everyone was goin to island 16 lol good times, i think im gonna go and explore that place soon

[TheZenTurtle]

It was torn down last year.

[katkombat]

Creepy with an odd essence......666 make us EXIT movie film pictures on the projector 5 stars man 5! look for a new friend and subscriber!

[AvantGardeGuy2]

The outisde of the building looks like a General Cinema theater.

[DeadPhan04]

im confused. thats not the doors!! unless there is another new band called the doors without jim morrison????

[lt1fan94]

I saw the grudge there couple years ago. weird

[PinePowerLI]

What a shame...so many theatres have closed thanks to DVD's, pay-per-view, satellite TV and HDTV..but I have yet to see any HDTV, even the huge ones, give the experience of seeing it on the big screen.

[dre200112000]

[johnsmdm]

[TheZenTurtle]

Not yet...

[surfandsk8]

Me and my friends went there today, they just tore it down D: but it was still cool exploring the massive piles of rubble they left. We found many "artifacts" including master discs, reels, signs, the supports for the theater chairs, the big mirrors on the ceiling, etc etc. I'll have a video of it soon. Lots of fun!

[TheZenTurtle]

I really wanted to see them tearing it down but I wasnt on LI at the time. Can't wait to see your video. Maybe I'll go check out the rubble soon.

[eyeh8nbc]

Well, where is this video?

[sosocurious]

apparently, Frank, you learned nothing from your trip through Virginia

[TheZenTurtle]

A) Who is this?

B) What does Virginia have to do with United Artists? I learned plently from my experience there, however it doesn't mean I'm going to live in fear because of it.

[geefro]

I worked there around 1991-94

[elitedata]

why dont you contact me if you would like to film this with a better camera ?

i have a camera that is capable of filming this with as little light emitting from a cigarette lighter.

[TheZenTurtle]

Awesome, if I go back anytime soon I'll let you know.

[wataru14]

I used to work there from 1996 to 2001. I really miss that place. It was a sh*thole then, too, but it brings back awesome memories. Its great recognizning the rooms. Too bad there wasn't more light. The stock room and warehouse would have been cool to see.

[TheZenTurtle]

Yeah they were pretty cool, I'll try and get some pics of them if I go back any time soon.

[firewalker57]

I miss that movie theater .. showing my age now, when I was a kid there was a drive in theater located on the same spot, I went there with my Godmother and her husband when I was little and fell asleep LOL. Thanks for the Memories :)

[TheZenTurtle]

Yeah I know all about the drive in, I wish I could have seen it. I've spent many a good day in the multiplex though and miss the theater as well.

[SteveRocks2K7]

Could you get into the the seating area?I wonder when it closed?...

[TheZenTurtle]

We got in to every theater, it's just too dark to see anything. It closed over the summer.
