My summer of 1992 was dominated by Batman Returns. I was 14 years old, bicycling to the local McDonalds to get my standard order of two super size fries with a super size Coke. The drinks had illustrations of the movie scenes on them and the fries came in cool black cartons. To be able to ride a bike to a local McDonalds, eat food that was once delicious and cost less than ten bucks to fill me, then go back home to play outside with friends or blast on some Nintendo games in the safe comfort of my parents' home as dusk settled in...man, things changed.

[@emmyandboo]

I hear ya - I'm a 34 yr old female and still try to live my life in a nostalgic way - this morning I rode my bike to get breakfast at McDonald's and used my app it was $4 for a sandwich and iced coffee, I went to the dollar tree after, and walked my dog, went about my day.....but you're right, things have gotten strange with humanity - it's like the whole world is overthinking and overstimulated - I wish I could just toss out my phone, and pretend like these smart phones never existed.......

[@MiketheratguyMultimedia]

@@emmyandboo Totally agree. Everyone is glued to their phones (which seem to be used for anything BUT calling now), everyone is fishing for "likes" and other narcissistic approval online, everyone is participating in stupid social media trends, everyone is at war with one another over heavily tribalized personal politics, and everything is far more expensive than it ever was before. I want to board my home up with wood paneling, surround myself with nothing but 80s and 90s items, and forget that the world that I currently live in still exists outside my front door.

[@Ganon136]

@@brianmeen2158 The first movie is still really good. I felt like the second one hasn’t held up as well. They are really good 90s time capsule films if you’re into that period of American film. Comedy overall has changed completely and just isn’t the same anymore. That may be why it’s aged differently. You watch 70s-90s SNL and compare it with modern SNL and it’s not even close to comparable.

[@alvexok5523]

I was watching Wayne's World clips on KZbin earlier today, that's probably why I now recieved in my KZbin feed this 1992 footage clip of the theater counter with Wayne's World as one of the movies, lol.

[@alvexok5523]

@Ganon136 I loved the 2nd one too, especially Wayne and Garth getting different reactions from characters by repeating the same things they did in the first movie. For example, when going "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!" to a rock star they met in person, this time they got the reply "You're worthy, you're worthy, get up" (from Steven Tyler) where last time they got no reply (from Alice Cooper). And when Wayne says "Asphinxtersayswhat?", this time his responder (Walkin's character) was a step ahead and replied with "So I'm supposed to say 'what?', like I don't get it, ha", where in the first movie he (Brian Doyle Murray as the sponser) fell for it and said "what?"

In 1992, we also saw Wayne’s World, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle, My Cousin Vinny, Medicine Man, Boomerang, Mo Money, A League of their Own, Bram Stokers Dracula, The Bodyguard, and a few other great films.

That's why you should buy the tickets in person instead of online, I still get new ticket stubs today especially at the Cinemark theaters.

When will people do that again like the old days?

[@cgimovieman]

Totally agree. I saved all of my physical stubs from around 1993 until just a few years back. And I saw a LOT of movies during those years and even went to college for film and television production. I still have all of them though, in small plastic bags by year. They’re interesting to pull out sometimes, and I’ve thought about making something with them all at some point. Like putting them scattered under a pane of glass on a tabletop in my home theater or something.

[@greatgownsbeautifulgowns]

I don't collect movie stubs but I do save my concert and play ticket stubs so I know the feeling. I have a box that I keep all of my tickets in going all the way back to the 90s. There are a bunch of old fashioned ticket stubs, but then when you go past about 2014 or so the tickets turn into printer paper tickets with the barcode and concert info.--The printer paper tickets that have ads printed out alongside the ticket info really irk me for some reason lol. I remember going to a concert 4 or 5 years ago and after they scanned our paper tickets they kept them. I went to a concert in 2019 and I got scanned in with a QR code on my phone.

@@Mary_O Sad , only reason someone should answer their phone in their seats during a movie is if it's an emergency and even then they should still get up and go out the doors cuz you can't hear well in there anyway and there's plenty of empty quiet lobby space to talk , but our society is completely insensitive and rude now. Social media and ubiquitous access to anything anywhere destroyed us beyond repair ,there's no appreciation or reverence for stuff like this anymore , it's just a steril bland society all caught up in themselves , going through the typical motions , oversaturated with unimportant information and too busy insatiably obsessed with being social media stars of their own little cults , and there's no individuality anymore , social media conditioned us into carbon copies and took away that genuine Interactive feeling of humanity and diverse jovial community mood that every crowd used to have and exude , being present at all times experiencing together.

JFK was a movie released nearly 30 years after Kennedy's assassination and was credited in part with passage of the legislation that would make all government records related to the assassination available to the public within 25 years... and now here we are 30+ years later and still not all the records have been made public. Sorry to rain on everybody's nostalgia for the early 90s. Lol. This snippet of footage kinda puts this in perspective though.

[@adamharb9233]

Have you heard about the magic bullet conspiracy?

[@wowbagel42]

@@adamharb9233 I was first exposed to the idea on the Seinfeld episode "The Boyfriend" when Jerry retells the encounter Kramer and Newman had with Keith Hernandez at a baseball game. "That is one magic loogie!" Another great little piece of 90s nostalgia.

[@SauloVideoGameReview]

Batman Returns is one of the best sequel 90s films & my favorite childhood

[@CroWn3611]

I was a newborn when this film was shot. I was born on March 6, 1992. Incredible...

[@bamboosho0t]

This doesn’t feel like 31 years ago. I was in HS in 1992. Oh, I feel OLD. Lol.

[@czorr1997]

Such better times! people didn’t even care and not pay much attention to someone filming. Now days that would start a fight 😂

[@harveytherobot]

I would say the opposite. Everyone noticed a huge camcorder back then. Now everyone has their phone out shooting videos.

[@thefonzkiss]

@@harveytherobot 100%

[@LazzaroTuned]

@@harveytherobot I believe what this meant was the difference in times today! pay attention to people's demeanor back then in this video and many others on this channel from the time frame. I grew up in the 80's/90's and yes I saw a couple people with the big VHS camera's with just giving them a quick look and moving on just enjoying our time, no big deal. Today with some peoples attitude it could escalate to something else. 100% czorr!

[@FumbleAIBO]

This legit made me cry, I miss moviegoing in those days. The last three films I saw in the theater I was the only person in the audience, the place was empty.

[@danielmarquis5258]

It is nice to see people working in the Ticket Booth. Nowadays, everything is a Kiosk to purchase tickets. Some Movie Theaters like ICON, all food orders are done through a Kiosk as well.

[@akira2196]

Wayne's World and Fried Green Tomatoes!

[@cattygirl218]

I don't know why this was filmed but I'm glad it was. I wish I could go back there.

[@teresapflaumer5717]

1992, age 20. I didnt go to the movies much until I graduated college in 1993. Then from 1994 to 2000 I was watching tons of films...from classic like Pulp Fiction and Forrest Gump to bombs like The Jersey Boys and Waterworld to comedies like Howard Stern's Private Parts and A Very Brady Movie. Popcorn and nachos with Cheese Whiz were dynamite and the atmosphere was happening! 2000's Cast Away was the very last time I went to a movie theater. I won't return to a movie theater, but I miss the 1990s experience.

[@FarginBastiges]

Thank you, Vampire Robot. I hope you will be rewarded for preserving such a great era.

[@KB-ke3fi]

I miss a normal world like back then... I don't even recognize it now.

[@giovannisalamon2706]

This harkens to a time when you had to actually visit a cinema to properly watch a movie as there was a world of difference between the cinema experience and watching a cropped movie on a 4:3 CRT screen. Now-a-days people can watch movies on VR-headsets/projectors/85+ inch TVs with 4k/8k/whatever quality and have access to movies digitally in weeks or a month after its released. The cinema and home experience are no longer that dramatic of a difference and that has to be the biggest change in 30 years.

[@green285]

Movies took several years to come to vhs tapes too

[@Odinarcade00]

Yup staying home is cheaper and you can pause the movie

[@jenniferhansen3622]

​@@green285Exactly! And now in a matter of a month or two, or even less, the movies are out on DVD. Plus a lot of times they stream even earlier than that.

[@trevour]

Love seeing that Al Hirschfeld-illustrated ‘Noises Off’ poster at the end!

[@Legomovie970]

I was born in 2001, so I never had any movie theater experiences during the 2000s. I was so young I don't remember the first movie I watched, but the first film I do remember seeing in theaters was Ratatouille back in 2007.

[@elizabethwall8063]

I was 16 in 1992 and went to the movies a lot with my friends. The movie theater and the mall were the main places to be on the weekends! On at least a couple of occasions, I remember taking my little sister, who was only 8, to the movie theater. Instead of going to a movie, though, we somehow snuck over to the concession stand without tickets, bought a big tub of popcorn drenched in butter, then went to the parking lot and ate the popcorn in my car while laughing about how the view out the windshield was the “movie.” I can’t remember now why we preferred to do this instead of actually going to a movie….I guess we just liked the popcorn! 😂

[@gator9339]

This was filmed a little over a month before I was born. It's cool to see Wayne's World in theatres since it's one of my favorite movies.

[@larkatmic]

Ahh, Back when we were still dressing nice and keeping up appearances. Crazy how fast it went away.

[@joshramirez7]

To be fair, clothes fit a lot better now and far less baggy. So for the population with standards, it's a better fashion era by far.

[@larkatmic]

@@joshramirez7 Agree. But most people haven’t standards in dress anymore because of the obesity epidemic and a more ‘can’t be bothered’ attitude. I’m sure when we look back at today. We will see the fashionable walking the streets today are far and few between compared to this footage.

[@marcomacias3960]

at first when i saw Gladiator my thought was this was the wrong year then i looked at other titles like JFK and Fried Green Tomatoes i realize it was the right year

[@saulojoelchang4745]

Batman Returns & Alien 3 was underperformed box office that so shame but I loved it

[@goats54]

Seems like a lifetime ago, what I wouldn’t give to go back for one day

[@autobotdiva9268]

you could take a date to the movies, get a popcorn or 2 small drinks, then go to applebees and eat 2 for $25! good times.

[@virgo420]

0:56 two of the best movies. I’d be watching them both. Lol I still do today. I’m glad I was in my teens (14) here to enjoy these great times.

[@therealjayseh]

I loved and lived these times. ✨

[@jetta.silence6356]

Oh wow i remember seeing The hand that rocks the cradle in the theater! Good times🎉 I was 16 years old in 1992 I still have the movie stub from december 1992 i went to see bodyguard, magical. It was only 8.00 🇨🇦

[@songbird967]

This is the year i was born, my mom was 21 back then, this is like seeing the world in the early 90s through her eyes.

[@realgone222]

My senior year in HS.

[@andrewwilks5155]

1992 Was my senior year in high school as well. I graduated that year.

[@hamamotodesigns]

I was 14 years old and i remember seeing Waynes World, and i was introduced to Queen. (yes, I never heard of them before the movie, my parents didn't listen to music)

[@chellastation]

So relaxing and magical 🪄🙏

[@spauldingrebecca869]

I practically lived at the movie theater in the 90s. I have seen some of those movies listed except JFK and Gladiator.

[@GT-bz9nc]

Awesome days. Watch everything now when it releases for streaming, don’t have to endure today’s general public, and with the large screen and Dolby Atmos, it’s home perfect.

[@TheKevinNewsom]

I remember this! Cheap tickets, non-GMO food and cokes. Good times...

[@jessicap5010]

😍😍😍❤❤ I’m prob the same age as the little boy running at the start. Love these videos ❤❤

What a time to be a teenager.
