    I had been to this theater once in the mid 1980’s to see Back To The Future in late July 1985 on my 15th birthday with my mother and sister.

      That so cool! I remember loving that movie so much my dad was able to get my sister and me to clean the entire basement with seeing part 2 as the reward.

    The seats weren't haphazardly reinstalled. The trend at the time was to install the seats in the row behind between the seats in front so it would be less likely to have a tall head directly in front of you.

    They don't make cinemas like these anymore. It reminded me of some of the theaters I've been in my hometown of Jacksonville, FL.; in places like the Northside Twin and Arlington Expressway 3 in the '80s and early '90s. What nostalgia. Good memories.

    Than you for sharing a piece of my childhood, I am from Waukegan and went to that mall often. I never saw a movie in that theater. I found out my aunt worked at the theater in the 60's. mM friend saw may a movie there, his mom worked in the mall, as she lived across from the park.

      Thank you for the memories. The day after I filmed this, my wife and I saw Scooby Doo when the theater was open to the public.

    The Hills Department store in Kingsport Mall in Kingsport TN used to have those spring loaded purse holders in the womens bathrooms I remember as a kid in the 1980s.

    Thank you for doing this. Lots of good history you said and shown in this video. Last time I was there was in 2003 when I filmed it, another time in 1997 I was able to walk inside and there were cobwebs everywhere and I only looked in both Cinemas ONE and TWO. Belvidere Mall has survived downtown Waukegan, Lakehurst, and soon the crappy Gurnee Mills. I would have loved to have seen NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD in 2020. I have many General Cinema memories! One movie in particular was Friday the 13th part 4 on Friday April 13th, 1984. I spent a lot of game time in the arcade next door as well. Here's what I recorded in 2003 of the old Lakehurst mall, I also filmed the Genesee Theater and Carson Pirie Scott in 2003, all on my channel ruclips.net/video/EKcVkOqmyDQ/видео.html
