Past = Standalone, hot, warm, only fan

Plus, only a few halls, usually less than 5





Present = Usually located in malls, air-conditioned

Nowadays, there are so many creature comforts in cinema, there are standard halls, higher priced exclusive halls with larger seats etc.

Inside the old cinema also got air cond ma

If you talk about nowadays standalone ones like Odeon, Coliseum etc, of course

inside old cinema can

nowadays kenot

I also remember that in the past, cotton candy also available in cinemas.

Nowadays, no more.

i remember in the cinemas, when i was small, early 80s, got advertisement of softcore prawn.

During the early days of GSC, their seats used to stink of B.O

i remember watching many movies at GSC MV n dreaded resting my head on the headrest. every time i fear doing it. coz during one particular saturday afternoon after a movie, i started smelling strong B.O n unwashed hair smell around me. it cant be me coz i always take a bath n wash my hair b4 going out. plus i use styling product on my hair so so early in d day it wont stink.

i got home n smelled my clothes...walau damm stink.

d next time i went to GSC MV i out my nose closer to the seat. true enuf d B.O n unwashed smell came fr d seats n got stuck on my clothes n hair. after that many yrs i no go GSC MV. went to GSC 1U instead as the place was new n no stink.

I remember this cinema that has 2 floors in the same theater

i remember d ciggie smoke smell n d kuaci shells on d carpet/floor.

1st movie i watched in a cinema was Indiana Jones n The Last Crusade over at PJ state. my memory still quite vivid. i remember buying the popcorn, drinks n kuaci. lining up n den looking for seats

I remember the Cathay Cinema in Lutong, Miri in the early 90's has air-cond too.

That seat must be the same seat that make Ammoshaf a legend here

Yup...

However, the ones in the past photos were 60's etc.

Terminator 2: Judgement Day, my first ever movie watched in a cinema. I watched here. Epic yo.

Do the bangla workers clean the head rest now or just vacuum the floor only???

The earliest Cineplex is probably Dalit Cinema inside Komtar Shopping Complex.

It was around since the 80s.

Now no more of course.

Not sure if there are any old cinema format in shopping complexes at other places.

cinema ... too cold for me. sometimes I couldn't even focus what I watch because I was freezing there.

Many older cinemas were closed in 1990s...

My dad watch movie at this cinema



It was teared down not long after I was born.

Lol okay even my parents were still little kids by then.

But old cinema has the kind of feel that cineplex don't have.
I remember sitting in a car where father drove us to cinema, you can see the Cathay building from afar and we can literally see that we are heading towards the cinema. Then father parked the car across the road, and we crossed the road towards a cinema which was again literally the building itself too.

In late 90's, all that feel is gone.
