Footage from a local movie theater in New York City just days before Christmas.
Shots of people at the box office, buying tickets, etc...
Among the titles playing in this video are:
Wag the Dog
Deconstructing Harry
Boogie Nights
Try to ignore (if you can) the busy NYC traffic in this one but might be worth the watch if only for the "only cash" uttered from the lady at the ticket booth.
This video last around 5 or 6 minutes.

Wow this seems like it was just yesterday. I remember being a 9 or 10 year old kid back then and being super excited to see Batman and Robin. As I got older I realized how bad that movie was but at the time that was one of my most anticipated movies of 1997 🤣🤣🤣 I miss the 90s with a passion. I am grateful for the life I have now but if there was a Time Machine I would go back to the 90’s and stay there for a long time. Thank you for the video!

Late 1997 was such a great time in my life! I started middle school and 6th grade, which turned out to be one of my most favorite school years, and it was also one of the best Christmases I ever had, as well. Movies I saw in the theater with my parents in late '97: A Life Less Ordinary, The Devil's Advocate, Kiss The Girls, I Know What You Did Last Summer, Gattaca, Starship Troopers, The Jackal, The Man Who Knew Too Little, Alien Resurrection, Flubber, For Richer Or Poorer, Home Alone 3, Scream 2, Mouse Hunt, Tomorrow Never Dies, An American Werewolf In Paris, As Good As It Gets, The Postman, , and of course Titanic.

This theater would have been old in 1997, this was not the norm. There were megaplexes and mall theaters in 1997, and film snobs like Siskel & Ebert hated them. It's only us in 2024 that think some dingy theater in 1997 was some great experience. Everyone pines for the distant past. In the 80s and 90s, a lot of people wanted to go back to life before say 1970, especially the 1940s, 1950s and 60s.

I remember how simple it was, you could just buy the ticket, get your snacks and walk into the theater and sit anywhere. No reserved seats. it was first come first served. No one spoke during the film and no one rested their feet on the seats in front of them. I remember Boogie Nights was so infamous then. I saw it, it was creepy, disturbing, sometimes funny but mostly depressing. I have no motivation to ever watch it again.
@jscountrygirl85_326
@jscountrygirl85_326 8 месяцев назад
I agree with all your points except for people talking during the movie and putting their feet up. We had to put up with some of those from time to time when my parents and I went to the movies during the 90s and early 2000s, too. I especially agree with you on reserved seating. A lot of people seem to love it, but I absolutely hate it. I prefer being able to sit wherever the heck I want and not having to worry about being stuck next to someone who's rude and/or distracting from the movie. Some families are also not able to sit together because of the new system. It's like seeing a movie has become another thing stressful that you have to plan ahead for instead of just deciding one day you want to catch a flick. If you wanted a good seat, you simply showed up to the theater early enough before most people got there, which is what my parents and I always did. If someone was too noisy or too tall in front of us, we moved with no problem.

Christmastime, 1997. Leo DiCaprio is the biggest movie star on the planet right now. Titanic is a chick movie and I will not be watching it. I will be watching Tomorrow Never Dies. But I'd be lying to myself if I said I didn't envy the power DiCaprio has. I wanna be James Bond. I wanna be Jack Dawson. The ladies don't want hypermuscular meatball men! They want dashing rogues. You don't gotta be rich, but you do gotta be "dashing." You gotta seem "exciting." Maybe I need to go on more adventures, instead of watching them on the big screen.
