SANA MERON KA RING MGA PICS NUNG SINE JAN SA ATIN YUNG DEL MONTE aka 'SINE SUROT" THANKS SANI
Sani, palagay ko, alam ni Simon yung Del Monte Theater (na kung tawagin natin ay "Sine Surot")! na naging sinehan ng mga bomba films nung bago mag-martial law! (Ha-ha-ha!).
Meron pang isa, yung sa may Roosevelt Ave. na 1st-run theater din, tapos nung di kumita, ginawang 2nd-run. (nakalimutan ko lang ang pangalan.)
Tama kayo dyan magkapatid na James at Sani. Third o fourth-run na yata ang sinehan na ito. Madami-daming surot din ang napatay ko dito, hehehe!
Masurot na nga yung Del Monte Theater, mabaho pa't mainit, pero wag ka, pagdating ng mga bandang alas 8:00 ng gabi, puno yung parking ng mga kotse! (Kasi, ang palabas, Saging Ni Pacing, o kaya Batuta Ni Drakula! He-he-he!)
I am not too sure, but there was a very good theater/cinema owned by the Roman family, I think, in the corner of Recto and Quezon Ave (right above the Quiapo underpass). I am sure you know it, it was, to me at least, the best moviehouse of that time, even better than Nation in Cubao.
There was also one, or maybe two(?) moviehouse(s) on the Recto u-belt area. I remember one across the Cartimar(?) shopping center, before one reaches Morayta if you're coming from Avenida. Another pala is yung Gotesco(?) theater, tumbok na tumbok from Morayta going to Recto.
Could not remember the names, but I am sure you would. Thanks
Can you post some movie ads of James Bond movies and the theaters that showed those movies? I'm a James Bond fan and I would like to see where those films were shown in Manila. Thanks.
By the way, I forgot to mention that Alta Cinema was recently closed down after it became a haven for prostitution.
theatres across cartimar are maxim and miramar, the one beside it are eastern and tandem. the one in front of gotesco theatre is manila cinema. u also forgot to mention illusion theatre, it was located right across SM carriedo, the entrance facing r. hidalgo st., de luxe and republic which later became march theatre (sister theatre of mercury which later became baron theatre situated on trabajo market) at p. florentino st. near arranque market. in paco area, there's bellevue, major and paco theatres. mila theatre in a. bonifacio, venus which became cinex in tondo, filipinas in malabon.
OBLATION pala ang logo ng LIDER theater. Baka mapagkamalang UP-owned theater dahil ang Oble eh trademark na ng pamantasan.

Wow, this brings back memories! I remember when I was a kid, Nation and New Frontier were the best! Also, I was fond of the theaters logo back then..thank you thank you. Missing here is the logo of Avenue Theater..it's the first time I went to a movie house, it was Fly Fly Away starring Dolphy, don't know what year was that.
Kakapunta ko lang dyan sa Remar, maliit lang pala ang nasa loob nyan, makipot.Ang ginagamit nilang projector yung bago na, yung pang computer.hindi na yung traditional.Saklap nga e ang palabas pala pambakla pero first run in movie sya na indie film at may mga gay din sa loob.Basta ako di ko sila pinapansin at diretso lang ako.
Sa Paco, Manila may Gay Theater, may Sine S
Dami surot, Sine Cine Rio, sine Bellevue.
The picture above that says "become haven for prostitution that raided" is the Jennet/Lords Theater. Lords is the only remaining operational stand-alone theater in Avenida.
I know that Cubao Cinema and Grand Theater is in Cubao area, but i don't know where is the exact location. Can somebody give me a details? And also the Recto Cinema Theater.
Miramar Maxim and Eastern Theater along Recto
@Ren The former Grand Theater (now Metro Manila Bible Community) is located at 670 EDSA, Cubao. It is the first building north of the vacant lot at the corner of EDSA Aurora. Right side going Monunmento before Superlines na may mga billboards sa gilid at itaas.

Yes, bukas pa din ang Alta sa Cubao. At pangit na ang reputasyon nito.
Bukas na bukas pa rin til noe
Wow! this is amazing. eto po ba yung sa may cubao?
wala na din ata Remar ngayon, kaya Alta na lang natitira sa Cubao area.
