Tribute to AMC Studio 30



During my high school days, my weekends typically went like this:

Go to restaurant, go watch movie at AMC 30.

Sometimes it went play ping-pong, go to restaurant, go watch movie at AMC 30.

Here are the movies I recall watching there:

Any Given Sunday - I think Diane vomitted during this movie

The Bone Collector - Adam Lebovitz said it might be "the next Silence of the Lambs"

Erin Brockovich - Andrea lost $10 to me on this one when she bet me that Sheryl Crow wouldnt be on the sountrack. Thank you ending credits!

Gladiator - Just walked out thinking "man i hate ridley scott and russell crowe"

Gone in 60 seconds - I can't believe I even watched this. Of course, it was only like $5.50 back then with student ID

Shaft - What a dissapointment. Whole movie came down to one line "its my duty to please that booty"

Rush Hour - I remember the theater being half black and half asian. Reminded me of gym class

South Park - Bought the soundtrack and listened to it the entire summer

Sleepy Hollow - This was at a midnight showing after a debate tournament. Only movie i've fallen asleep at

Lord of the Rings - Watched it with Andrea. Don't remember exactly which one. I did leave 30 minutes early though to catch Survivor (this was pre-DVR)

American Beauty: One of the few movies I ever watched at AMC 30 that I actually liked

10 Things I Hate About You: We talked during the movie. Jenny got really upset at us

Star Wars (Episode 1 i think) - While waiting in line for the first (midnight) showing, Lingo called up Jason to have him deliver us a pizza (for free). Note that Lingo did not have an extra ticket for him

Romeo Must Die/Mission Impossible 2: Skipped school (with Vinh) to go watch both of these movies. Both were terrible. I never skipped class again

Magnolia: Some of us liked it. Some of us hated it. Let's just leave it at that

Mission to Mars: All of us hated it

The Matrix: I only remember many nerds in line. Some of those nerds are probably hipsters now

Entrapment: Many snickers when Sean Connery recited his infamous line

Boogie Nights: This might've been the first movie I ever watched at AMC 30...
