I just love seeing people in the 90s the colorful clothes. The chill vibes, and people being normal having a great time. Even the money back then looks different. It's very cool to see the past.🎥🎬

[@BionicAnimations]

Agreed. And the 80s was even better. 🥰

[@rocknroller77]

I remember when the new 10, 20s, 50s and 100s came out. It all look like play money. I still like the old school notes. It's like adult money compared to kids money

[@mikesteelheart]

Funny how the big straight brim baseball hats weren't considered cool starting in like 1993 but by maybe 2005 they made a comeback.

[@LeeDee5]

That's because the money WAS different...

People actually saying "thank you " and being friendly.

[@karinadelma]

Nowadays, people don’t care say Thank you and not be friendly as today. Really shame how Society is so abysmal compared how old society was much better.

[@Boardonthekeyboard]

Yeah people were just classier in those days. Nowadays, I go to the grocery store and see people dressed in their pyjamas and being rude and impatient with the staff.

"Hook" with Robin Williams was the big movie that year for me. I was 10.

Can you believe I never seen Hook

[@rolieg81]

Same here, born in '81. T2 and silence of the lambs were big.

[@davidgoodman6924]

I worked at a movie theater just like this in 1989. I made the popcorn and cleaned up the theater after the movie was over. This brings back great memories. The uniforms with name tags! Thank you!

[@R.I.P.AlienJack]

Excellent! I'm so thankful for people who took the footage, kept it safe and then uploaded it onto KZbin. This is time travel!

[@ianpreston4408]

Thanks for posting one of these again! It would have been nice to experience those movies in the theater!

[@PJVids83]

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.

[@rocknroller77]

Remember seeing Dances With Wolves. Great movie

[@49ersfan12]

Very good movie I was born in 1977

[@R.I.P.AlienJack]

Vampire robot you are my time machine!

[@mymomsaysimcool9650]

I was an usher at an AMC from 88-92. Had a full suit and bow tie. Just had to supply my own pressed white button down. Employees today just get a T-shirt. 🤷‍♂️

[@ryoku79]

I miss those AMC suits employees wore back then. Tshirts now seem lazy as hell

[@rebeccam3785]

Tickets at the fancier theater in town were $4.50 so we only went there if the movie was really special. Otherwise $3.25 at the mall or wait for it to come to the dollar theater.

[@blast4me754]

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.

[@pantherinparadise9686]

Corporate media decides how we dress in society and they lost the creativity. I dress the same for the last 40 years. Jeans, jacket, t shirt.

[@Yoyomu205]

Almost everyone dresses the same and haves the same haircut now

[@ryoku79]

Appearance wise through clothing they all look alike now. At least with the 70s and 80s they had a different twist in fashion. Even in the 90s you could still see people walking around in 80s clothing especially women.

[@llorenstorrespr4409]

Exactly! iwas just talking with my dad about that few months ago & we both agreed on that. Crazy!!

[@tias.6675]

Lol the older generations were just cooler. If it weren't for Boomers and the older Gen X crowd, the 00s would've probably been terrible too. I do feel as if there was a distinctive look in the very beginning 00-03.

[@HereForTheComments]

January 4th, 1991. The high holidays just ended. We're in the lean of January now. Which means the only good stuff in theaters is stuff released last year. We're not even gonna have any new movies for another week or so. We got Lionheart comin' up soon, lookin' forward to Lionheart? Eve of Destruction? Man, I miss Christmas...

[@citygirl5705]

The answer is YES. I CAN smell and taste the popcorn.

[@lemonhead162]

My friends & I would always go up to the dollar movies in Webster, Texas. That's where we saw Misery, as well as Dances with Wolves!

I worked a movie theater from 88-92. Met Siskel and Ebert, too! They lived nearby. Gene was always small popcorn, small diet, Roger was always large popcorn with EXTRA BUTTER, large coke. It was great!

[@cosmic687]

silence of the lambs, cape fear, hook, t2, dances with wolves, backdraft, Robin Hood, '91 was a big year

[@3Storms]

Terminator 2 and Star Trek The Undiscovered Country are the two big movies of 1991 that I remember most.

[@trickolas78]

Cool story bro

[@TR47]

Silence of the Lambs, Point Break, The Addams Family, Boyz in the Hood, City Slickers, etc. This video is too early on for the hit releases of that year.

[@MarkMeadows90]

I find it cool the cap style back then was mostly always a high crown, 5 and 6 panel style. "Snapbacks" they call them. My dad always called the high crown 5 panel hats "poofy hats", especially the trucker style ones. He used to wear those style hats back then. Was very popular. They still are to this day.

[@vampirerobot]

Some things never go out of style, nor should they.

[@mitchell.9632]

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.

[@Bates1960]

Yes freedom! No smart phones, no texting, no social media. People being people. The simple basic times. Peice in mind back then. The era I grew up in. Definitely a time capsule. I'll do anything to go back in time and relive those great moments again. Terminator 2 is the movie that I grew up with.

[@christophergaudreau9265]

It’s fascinating seeing the remnants of 70’s and 80’s fashion through the 90’s. Fashion trends really start to take on a somewhat different road around the mid 2000s, it’s hard to describe. I see pictures of my mom at this time and the fashion she wears now.
