Limelight - Move Trailer (2011) HD

As the owner of legendary hotspots like Limelight, Tunnel, Palladium, and Club USA, Peter Gatien was the undisputed king of the 1980s New York City club scene. The eye-patch-sporting Ontario native built and oversaw a Manhattan empire that counted tens of thousands of patrons per night in its peak years, acting as a conduit for a culture that, for many, defined the image of an era in New York. Then years of legal battles and police pressure spearheaded by Mayor Giuliani's determined crackdown on nightlife in the mid-'90s led to Gatien's eventual deportation to Canada, and the shuttering of his glitzy kingdom. Featuring insider interviews with famous players in the club scene as well as key informants in Gatien's high-profile trial, Billy Corben's (Cocaine Cowboys) exuberant documentary aims to set the record straight about Gatien's life as it charts his rise and fall against the transformation of New York, offering a wild ride through a now-closed chapter in the history of the city's nightlife.

@cubachang "Peter Gatien was the undisputed king of the 1980s New York City club scene." Someone didn't read the 'more info' tab. Either way, 80's 90's - I didn't start hitting the NYC clubs until around 1997/98.....Limelight, SF, Exit....all good times back then!

I really enjoyed this haven for amazing music, friends and wild nights! Wish I had the chance to go back in the 80's!

I'm just glad I got to experience this period in New York City. It will never come back.

This is great! I worked at Limelight in the early 90s. We always thought they should make a movie about the place.

@ceos you can't compare this to party monster, that was a film based on james st james' book, it was from his point of view and in true james st james style it was told in a very eccentric way where the truth was fabricated for entertainment purposes bla bla bla this is a documentary about peter gatien so it won't focus on michael and the death of angel. btw i know its your oppinion but mine is that party moster and the shockumentary are fabulous x
