Great video! Having grown up in the South Bay area I can say that I have been to all of these theaters; only one missing in action is the Hawthorne 6. I also loved those little Redondo Beach Cinemas. I remember when "Four Weddings & A Funeral" played there, I went back three times in one week. And I saw "The Exorcist" for the first time on the big screen when it played at the Mann 9 during its 2000 re-release.

how about Hawthorne 6? the theater at the redondo beach pier, Loyola ,Paradice the Centinela drive in , the rodium, etc

Multiplexes are all ugly anyway. PROPER cinemas are worthy of nostalgia, not a great big tin shed like this. Good riddance.

there used to be an AMC in DC Union Station. it was sold to someone else, and now its totally gone.
Yeah, I would love to have pics of Hawthorne 6....

I went to every single one of these theaters growing up. The Mann Del Amo 9 I remember going to when I was 15 and was one of the only theaters in the whole country that showed Abel Ferrara's 1993 remake of Body Snatchers. I saw The Fifth Element at Cinema 1 in Redondo Beach. Saw Screamers in 1995 at UA Del Amo and Dee Snider's Strangeland. Saw Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1 at that drive-in. Saw tons of movies at the Galleria in Redondo as well.

@LAPD27JK Yeah, I remember the old town mall. Me and a girlfriend used to go there all the time. I saw "an officer and a gentlemen" there. Do you remember the rides that used to be there? You can still see pics of the Old town mall (peopletron.blogspot.com/2006/08/old-towne-mall.html).
