    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.

    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.

    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.
