Going to the movies in 1991: Part II 

I just love seeing people in the 90s the colorful clothes. The chill vibes, and people being normal having a great time. Even the money back then looks different. It's very cool to see the past.🎥🎬

People actually saying "thank you " and being friendly.

The hustle and bustle of the movie theater. Lovely.

Problem child 2, terminator 2, and boyz in the hood were in theaters in 1991. People had a wonderful time watching them in the theaters.

"Hook" with Robin Williams was the big movie that year for me. I was 10.

I worked at a movie theater just like this in 1989. I made the popcorn and cleaned up the theater after the movie was over. This brings back great memories. The uniforms with name tags! Thank you!

Excellent! I'm so thankful for people who took the footage, kept it safe and then uploaded it onto RU-vid. This is time travel!

Thanks for posting one of these again! It would have been nice to experience those movies in the theater!

My God how I miss those days. I was 16 and now I am 50. It’s depressing how fast life is passing us by

I was an usher at an AMC from 88-92. Had a full suit and bow tie. Just had to supply my own pressed white button down. Employees today just get a T-shirt. 🤷‍♂️

Remember seeing Dances With Wolves. Great movie

Vampire robot you are my time machine!

The answer is YES. I CAN smell and taste the popcorn.

Why does it seem like every decade from 1920's to 1990's had their own individual look but the decades after the year 2000 don't have a stand out look at all. I think the 1950's and the 1970's had the strongest look and this is coming from a 80's baby.

RETRO! 👍🏻🇺🇲

I worked a movie theater from 88-92. Met Siskel and Ebert, too! They lived nearby. Gene was always small popcorn, small diet, Roger was always large popcorn with EXTRA BUTTER, large coke. It was great!

January 4th, 1991. The high holidays just ended. We're in the lean of January now. Which means the only good stuff in theaters is stuff released last year. We're not even gonna have any new movies for another week or so. We got Lionheart comin' up soon, lookin' forward to Lionheart? Eve of Destruction? Man, I miss Christmas...

silence of the lambs, cape fear, hook, t2, dances with wolves, backdraft, Robin Hood, '91 was a big year

Put your hand right in the popcorn bag…😂

Terminator 2 and Star Trek The Undiscovered Country are the two big movies of 1991 that I remember most.

peak humanity right here

I find it cool the cap style back then was mostly always a high crown, 5 and 6 panel style. "Snapbacks" they call them. My dad always called the high crown 5 panel hats "poofy hats", especially the trucker style ones. He used to wear those style hats back then. Was very popular. They still are to this day.

My girlfriend worked at movie theater concession 1990-1992 told me. . . She was TRAINED to pack the sodas with ice. So they could keep selling $5 sodas with your salty popcorn. Devious 😂

Simpler times, beautiful times. Lovely to see.

I was 19 and went to see Naked Gun with my girlfriend in ‘91. Got lucky that night too lol

I remember going to see _"Dancing with Wolves'_ with my older sister and a few of our mutual friends. My word, has it been THAT long? 33 years... 🤦‍♂️😄

Predator 2 and Point Break would have been great to experience in a theater.

Wow this one's even before my time, slightly Anyway. Odd feeling.

These days with all the data sold by buying online tickets you need parental approval and to be at least 13 to have both a card payment and also get a ticket. That first person looked like a kid maybe under that age and also before the two minute mark with those kids too. No age laws as far as I am aware on using cash and coin - just being out on your own laws.

I have been going to a movie a lot with my parents in the early 90’s. I started seeing a lot of movies in late 80’s. During one summer a lot of movies. Summer of 1989 had a lot of good movies.

Tickets at the fancier theater in town were $4.50 so we only went there if the movie was really special. Otherwise $3.25 at the mall or wait for it to come to the dollar theater.

Nobody back then could imagine how toxic the whole digital and medial world would be.

Me as a 9 year old in 1991. Mom, im going to see Point Break and theres nothing you can do about it!

now people just stream

Oh the nostalgia!!! 😍 2:09 Loved the popcorn too! 🍿

It makes me feel bad when I see old people cause you know they are dead

Imagine how crowded it was during the time at the release of "Beauty & the Beast"

i have got to say as a 90s kid this video is amazing a very realistic. if i where to travel back to the 90s then i would want to go to the theaters for the first day. i prefer movie theater in the 90s than today.

It’s fascinating seeing the remnants of 70’s and 80’s fashion through the 90’s. Fashion trends really start to take on a somewhat different road around the mid 2000s, it’s hard to describe. I see pictures of my mom at this time and the fashion she wears now.

I miss these days!

I was engaged 💍 in 91 and remember going to see 👀 the second terminator movie 🎬 🎞 🎥

It was awesome back in 1991 I think I saw Terminator 2 was the big one that year loved seeing that on the big screen

I am being recoreded, cannot skimp like I nomrally do, on servings of popcorn.

You can't see the eyes of the demon... till him come callin'.

Movies I saw at the theater in 1991. Hook, Backdraft, The Super

I saw a lot of movies at the theater during this era.

I'll bet whoever sat next to those two at 1:09 are probably still talking about the show they put on inside the theater

So cool dude

I bet that popcorn is leagues better than what we get nowadays. That butter is buttering.

❤love this people were soo much happier and nicer than today ,,my grandparents and parents warned me about this back then they told me the future was going to be bad well they were correct 💯

Cool

My friends worked at the movie theater at that time & they would let my boyfriend and I in for free with free popcorn

No $4 "service fee" when order tickets???

"uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummm two cokes"

📽📽🍿🍿🎥🎥

guy at 2:50 was pretty disrespectful the way he paid. could've handed her the money

Life may be slow as much people keep saying that but Its so much better and much calmer until things really changed alot(smartphones, internet even through It wasnt rotting for us, rude and offended people and streaming services). If i only wish i could be here in late 90s as others do……..

I like this

do you have footage from the weekend of september 18th 1987 or september 11th 1992? those dates were the opening dates for Hellraiser and Hellraiser III, i just want to see people buying tickets for those movies one day :D

I wonder what these people are up to these days.

Wehrenberg Theaters, a St. Louis tradition. Its opening movie lead-in is fondly remembered. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nKh0m8MDUt0.htmlsi=xZdN1oDwVezqdWzK Sadly, bought out by Marcus several years ago and hasn't been the same. I wonder which theater this is.

When people used real money 😅💵

giant bags of grain for the slaves

No Home Alone?

The girl just got a popcorn and the sales girl put her hand in the bag to open it. I wonder how sanitary that was! 🙄🙀

Oof. RIP to those who had to sit through Godfather 3 willingly 🫡🤣

These videos inspire so much sleuthing on my part. I just deduced that the theatre in this video is the Wehrenberg 9 in the Northwest Plaza Shopping Mall. The January 4th, 1991 edition of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch tells me that this theatre was playing: The Godfather Part III (on two screens), Kindergarten Cop (on two screens), Look Who's Talking Too, Dances with Wolves, Misery, Three Men and a Little Lady, and Predator 2. If I had been at this theatre on this particular day, I'd be asking for two tickets to see them dancin' wolves.

“Beauty and the Beast” Was the 30th Animated Disney Film Release: 11-22-1991

Ah the 90s Everything was radical and to the EXTREME!

Remember when everyone acted civilized? Said please and thank you?

She made damn sure that popcorn bag was full---this does NOT happen today! D:

My friends & I would always go up to the dollar movies in Webster, Texas. That's where we saw Misery, as well as Dances with Wolves!

I remember going to the movies back then and thinking that someday movies might cost $10 dollars.

I love these videos but nostalgia can be a drug sometimes. I love the 90's just as much as the next man but i get a kick out of comments like this" oh wow look how they flushed the toilet back then, they dont flush the toilet like that anymore they use their foot instead nowadays". Lol thats just an example.

Must be around January-Feb 1991, I heard Dances With Wolves and Predator 2.

A time when everyone paid in cash (a lot of kids, though)

A cool look at what once was. Thank you Vampire Robot!

Someone coughed out loud eww.

Chick fil a girl👁️👄👁️

It funny how buying a simple movie ticket looks like a transaction of a high value commodity with beefed up security.

Yes freedom! No smart phones, no texting, no social media. People being people. The simple basic times. Peice in mind back then. The era I grew up in. Definitely a time capsule. I'll do anything to go back in time and relive those great moments again. Terminator 2 is the movie that I grew up with.

After 33 years, amazingly, this looks familiar.

so cool "2 for dances with wolves"

The year I graduated. Such better times. I miss them. Thank you for posting.
