"your order has been canceled"
*"AAAARGH"*
The timing was so perfect it's hilarious! 😂
😂😂lol
🤭
"Hey, howyadoin... One for Flubber?"
🤣🤣
Now that is a FUNNY request.lol😅😅😅😅
Next!
Theater hopper!
Where was that said?
Best lines in Titanic:
"This Show Is Sold Out"
"Your Order Has Been Canceled"
That was the ticket machine saying that.
Everything about it truly was Titanic... The record budget, the special effects, the giant sets, 3hr runtime, the soundtrack with Celine Dion's mega-hit, the boy band level stardom it gave to Leo... It was more than just a movie, it was literally a cultural phenomenon at the time.
Old Rose: and It was, it really was! *que the music* 🎶 😅
Wait the self kiosks were around in 97? Mind blown
Oh My.
When I worked at McDonnell Douglas (Titusville FL), we had touchscreen monitors, bar code scanners, electronic badges and a video conference room with wall sized projection screen in '84. We also had robots delivering parts to the work stations. I felt we were in the future.
and touch screen too. i thought it was all still punchable buttons even 25 years ago
@Sebastian_: how OLD or young are you? Of course they did.1997 was not the dark ages. lol😅😅😅
@@terrycraig6386even in 97' with computers becoming mainstream touch screen kiosks weren't all over yet. Most businesses were still operating by a person with push buttons and all. Then in the 2000s it took off with touch buttons
Going to the movies in the 90’s was so fun. I love your channel ❤️
Going to the movies use to be so much fun….Love the footage, TY Vampire Robot
Yes, Yes It Is.
Now you go to get preached at by hack woke writers and their woke corporate masters.
What changed for you? Its exactly the same as it always was. Maybe you just got old.
Yeah I sadly can’t remember the last time I wanted to go to the movies.
The Titanic was huge! I remember my mom telling me her and my dad had to go to the theatre 3 times before they could finally see it because tickets kept getting sold out.
They wouldn’t let you buy for a different day or time?
The selena movie was also huge in the theaters in 97. All the tickets were sold-out in every theaters.
1:37 remember that episode were Jerry Seinfeld had a girlfriend that looked just like him?
Costanza had the gf
@@jessrivera8225 thank you! Man that sounds WAY funnier!
Yes! I thought she looked familiar🤔🤭
Movie ticket kiosks in 1997 had to be a rare sight at most locations.
And I love how it trolled this couple at 1:38.
Allowing them to put in the information they need before pointing out that…
THIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT! GO WATCH FLUBBER!
You mean automated kiosks. Use the right words
Yeah I worked in a place like that, but can't remember we had ticket machines
My sister had the two pack VHS of Titanic when it came out on video. We watched the crap out of that movie. Still a good movie to this day.
I also had Flubber on VHS. Love that movie also.
Me and my sis had the same two pack
😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
VR with another certified retro winner! I love your channel! Please keep the content coming. This is such good fuel to spark the imagination.
🎉🎉🎉
I'm sure people at the time didn't know how HUGE that movie would become since.
Id say it was pretty evident right away
I saw it I think 5 or 6 times, and I knew people who went more. It was so massive. I remember people in the theatre being in tears by the end. It was really epic!
It was huge then. “Would become?”
What a time it was in the 90s. As always thanks for uploading these videos! It's really fun looking at different time periods
Wow, Titanic, Goodwill Hunting, LA Confidential and Amistad playing at the Sony Theater in NYC at the same time...heck of a Movie Theater lineup in 1997!
Great expectations too. That movie mark my life 😢
This is no lie. I went to see Titanic with my sister in Glendale, CA when it came out. We didn’t even go on opening weekend. I think I waited 2-3 weeks. I managed to get 2 tickets but we didn’t find any seats together. I sat way at the back. She sat all the way in the middle seats to the left of the theater. It was a pretty big theater too! One of my coworkers had spoiled the movie for me earlier that week. She’s like “Oh, Leonardo dies!!!” I remember saying “Thanks Pam!” 😠 She didn’t tell me HOW he died. When he was handcuffed, I thought that’s how he’d die. Then I thought he’d get shot. I sat there going “is this how he dies?” 🤦🏻♀️
I’d heard that the movie was a tear jerker so I took tissues. There was a group of 3-4 teenage girls sitting in front of me. Toward the end, they were bawling. I remember tapping one of them on the shoulder and handing her a pack of tissues. She thanked me through her tears and started to pass out the tissues to her friends. It was kinda cute. 😆
I didn’t cry when I watched it. I’ve always been a Titanic buff. I was sitting there geeking out when they showed the different crew members since I’d read everything about Titanic that I could get my hands on since the 80’s.
During the movie, there’s this one part where a passenger falls and hits the propeller. I believe now he’s known as “Propeller Dude.” I really got into the storyline during the sinking. I was riveted. I’ll never forget one thing though. When that guy hit the propeller, a bunch of people laughed out loud in the section in the middle and to the left of the theater. I remember throwing them a dirty look. When my sister and I reunited after the movie, I told her how angry I was at the people who laughed. She was like “I was laughing my %ss off too!” Turns out that’s where SHE was sitting. 🤦🏻♀️😂
What you wrote made me laugh 😅 I know it's tragic what happened to propeller guy in real life but I admit that the loud thud the cgi guys body makes when it hits the giant propeller, which then throws him into a hard summersault is kinda visually funny, in the film I mean.
@@MissysDomain I’ve made my peace with Propeller Dude 🤷🏻♀️😆
Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam, Pam.....
Vampire Robot we love you! Such fun to watch this old footage and reminisce! 😊
Movie theaters be dead now of days😳
With movies like Oppenheimer and Barbie being smash hits, I beg to differ
@@TooCooFoYou ...🤣
@@TooCooFoYouno.
Oh man. You've been spoiling us with these recent flashbacks to the movie going experiences! :D
Is it just me because I can smell popcorn watching this video?
Crikey, I love these videos so much. I haven't been in a theater since 2013, from the 70s to the 90s I went every week!
Wow, touch screen ticket kiosks? Pretty nifty for 1997!
I don’t think I saw those until maybe the early-mid 2010’s? Unless I wasn’t paying attention beforehand, but still!
Fun to see how popular it was.
People in my elementary school were bragging about how many times they went to see Titanic
One GUY said like 20 lol
Some guy mentioned titanic randomly in my class. I didn’t think that my generation knew of that movie guess I was wrong 😅
Hmmm...I wonder why?🤔 I think we know why🤭
My Mom and I went a few weekends after it was out. It was still crowded at the big mall out in the suburbs. We were a little late because we ate at Johnny Rockets so my seat was closer to the screen that I wanted, but once I got into the story it was ok.
I was 2 years old… I remember the vhs copy of the titanic movie and it was in 2 parts! My mom loved it ❤
I played the VHS tapes multiple times throughout 1998 and 1999. 😂
I was in middle school someone gave me the titanic tape and said Kate winslet was naked in it.
I had to sneak downstairs when everyone was asleep fast forwarding and rewinding that damn tape for an hour only to find out the movie came out on two and that clown gave me the other tape.
@@EM-ve9bh They really don't show that much, it's a PG-13 film lol. Those scenes are still fairly erotic though.
I was born
I miss getting movie tickets. Up until like 2017 movie tickets were sturdy and made of thick paper and now they’re flimsy receipt like paper. I used to collect them but since the quality went down and everything had moved to digital I’ve stopped doing it! So sad 😢
I miss those times man 🥹🥹
So do I
This theatre is on west 68 st and Broadway in New York. Very big theatre. 3 floors with a huge IMAX theatre.
Good old Lincoln Square… …went there to see Dune 2 for a third time last week.
You spent NINE HOURS watching dune 2?! I hope they paid you for that.....
Nope. I saw it two times prior to going to Lincoln Square.
Lynch's Dune is better.
I need to give that a go one day.
Look how calm everyone was in line. And in general. I miss those days!
Wow! Just think if we could time travel back to '97 and tell people to give it 25 years and you can watch titanic on your cell phone on Pluto TV for free😂 they would say we are crazy.
Then they'd see America today and vow to change the timeline.
@@Anarchist86ed yes! So definitely very true.
Jerry Seinfeld was just wanting to see Titanic lol
Titanic was so great to watch in the theaters. Probably, the greatest drama movie ever.
I wouldn't go that far lol. There's way better films out there.
It was fun being young at this time
Precisely.
Every girl in school was boy crazy over Leo. Saw a girl kiss a picture of him while waiting for class.
Im so glad i got to see the movie when it was released again jn theaters for the 100th anniversary of the sinking back in 2012. Saw it in imax 3d
I went to this opening in my town. It was such a big deal. Leo had gotten famous from Romeo and Juliet.
Super depressing movie, I didn't like it. I was 20. 27 years ago!
Went out on a date to see this movie. He was such a perfect gentleman, he bought me flowers, candy and after the movie we had so much to talk about over dinner, the movie was that good. We ended up going out again and decided we had chemistry as friends. We remained friends for years until his ex girlfriend came back into the picture. She wasn't comfortable with our friendship and of course he choose her and well, that was the end of that 😂😂 I enjoyed his company and we saw some really great movies together, Titanic was the first.
You know that 11pm Titanic showing isn't getting out until like 5am the next day 😂
I saw Titanic in the theater. I remember that it was very long and I had to go to the bathroom so badly but I didn't want to miss anything! 😅
Sold out shows of the Titanic it was so awesome seeing this movie in the theaters back in the day with all the hype and everything about the movie it was worth it still a classic today
I was 12 when this movie came out. Life really started heading down hill in 2008.
Buying movie tickets are online now!
How times have changed! 😊
I saw that movie on a double date that weekend..
Me Too Guys.
4th grade I went on a field trip to see it in Theaters. Man I was so young.
@D1980-zb9tm i was just a kid when I saw this in theaters. Its was the biggest deal at the time. Maybe I wasnt in 4th grade. I think I was in Junior HS Brain freeze.
@D1980-zb9tm It was the 90's
@D1980-zb9tm Believe it or not, kids back then could have sophisticated tastes and interests that went well above their years. I was in elementary school and I loved Titanic when it came out.
It's amazing how the technology can change I saw your video yesterday when The people go to the theater in 2003 wow... What's a great time in the 90' fun fact I was born en 1995 I was a baby😂
I was hoping to see everyone coming out after the movie wiping those tears.
1:39 Jerry Seinfeld’s sister has no luck 👎🏾
Lols I thought that was a dude.
I thought it was Jerry, I had to go back and look. 😂
@@Anarchist86edme too...shame on us.idont think there was any trans people in '97.😊
@@terrycraig6386 The voting booth for Brandon is over there, bud.
Why isn't the machine working??... Seinfeld voice
I graduated high school in 1997. This really takes me back!
Edit: I liked Flubber more than Titanic.
There's a King of the Hill episode called "Good Hill Hunting" which was a play on words with the movie title.
Good Will Hunting .. great movie but was it a big hit in the theaters or did it not gain popularity until later…?
I’ve never seen Titanic 😊
I watched Titanic in theaters the next summer as it was still playing. Summer of 1998
Yup it took over a year to come out on VHS
Dang, we didn't have kiosk up until the 2000s in Houston.
I remember those days, I saw Titanic twice in theatres. The think about Titanic is that even if it was playing in 2 or 3 screens it was just so long that made it had less showtimes unlike a typical movie that is 1 & a half to 2 hours.
I’m the guy leaving the theatre passing the ticket line loudly stating “I can’t believe Rose killed Jack!”
I had forgotten about those CRT touchscreens.
A very good movie 🎥!:)
Titanic only made all that money cuz everyone goofed on those machines trying to get tickets for Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil.
I saw Titanic I think the second week or so it was released. I went on a study abroad in 1998 and ended up watching it a second time in Europe. Fun times.
Titanic was bigger than they expected. I went opening weekend and they only had it in one of the ten theatres at my multiplex and not even the biggest one!
Next week it was playing in 4/10 and a bunch more cinemas.
They thought it was gonna be big, didn't realize it was gonna be generational big!
Yeah it wasn't so much opening weekend, it just kept doing well week after week.
I remember going to see this in the theater at the time. That would have been the year I graduated from high school. Wow.
My wife just had to see this movie no telling how many times she watched it.
Titanic came out when I was in high school. I saw the movie in the cinema four times during its original run.
Retro Cool!
The old small faced dollar bills that once looked very very green.
Makes me wonder when those movie ticket kiosks were invented
326BC
Everyone here has no idea how much they will cry that night 😂
The fascination with the story of titanic was at its peak and the movie nailed it where did the time go wow
"You have selected....Agent Zero?" "Why don't you just tell me the name of the movie you want"
Ah, the movie theater in Lincoln Square. I watched Tomorrow Never Dies instead 😂
I saw it in theaters when I was 12. Every female my age and older wanted to see it for Leo decaprio and it only made 28 million opening weekend but went on to become most popular
I went to cinema to watch titanic with my best friend
We had few pints before so we got giggly as the movie started we were laughing commenting the movie eqveryonr was shooshing us lol
Eventually the security came and kicked us out ahahahahah
That’s my titanic expirience
Legit question how is this different from 2018? Same crowd
That poor old lady couldn't figure out the ticket machine lol
That girl was so camera shy! Hah!
that lincoln towncar was the most impractical car ever made. hood and trunk were way too long
What's funny is how in 1997 I'd get nostalgic for the 80's thinking of them as a long time ago. Now 1997 is 27 years ago....far more than double the time apart from the 80's and yet 1997 feels not that long ago from today as the 80's did from 1997. The older you get the more our perception of time changes.
Same here, I guess we must be around the same age. The 80's was the decade where it all came together, original movies, music, fashion, And we agreed that nothing could match this decade, Then the 90's came and we were right, it was not as good as the 80's in many ways, with a few exceptions like this great movie. Now I miss the 90's.
@@bardo0007 Yeah I never thought I'd actually miss the 90's but here we are. lol
back in the day when Hollywood still made good movies
Hummmmm it did not break the bank e
Any weekend but every week it went off not just the weekend 🤔🤷🎬💯
This RUclipsr must have a time machine.
The only time i saw girls crying in the cinema was because of Titanic.
and now sadly i work from home, get food delivered and only really go out unless i have to
Can you do kids and teens actually socializing and having real fun? When you get a chance.
97 was a Turing point
Aren’t we going to talk about that horrid scream in the background
Titanic Fué un gran estréno
1:10 Couldn't tell if the text bounced around and hit the corner like the DVD symbol. Was about to celebrate!!
This person filmed his whole life on a camera
Request: Buying tickets for Spider Man on opening weekend 2002.
Notice all the people working there were very happy. Back in those days, the price of living was fine, and they paid a liveable wage.
Chick flick
I'll never forget seeing that guy fall when the Titanic splits in half...oops spoilers
We can all agree that L.A. Confidential really got screwed over at the Oscars.
Back when people prioritized and enjoyed romance.....
I thought Jerry Seinfeld was trying to buy tickets for a brief moment.
Personally wasn’t a 90s kid never will be unfortunately, but I feel like there isn’t any good movies anymore, if you know what I mean.
Anyone got Flubber on vhs that i could borrow?
Everyone’s so …not fat.
We prioritized our health and weight without needing random people on the Internet telling us to do it...
