Sunrise Multiplex Cinemas Sunsets for Good

After serving the Rosedale and Valley Stream community for over 2 decades, the Sunrise Multiplex Cinemas closed its doors for the last time on January 19th, 2015.

Going to the movies may not be what it used to be, but I have a treasure trove of fond memories of good ol’ Sunrise dating back to my preteen obsession with Leonardo DiCaprio. From Antz to The Rugrats Movie; all of my favorite childhood movies were enjoyed by the best of what the 90s had to offer . When I became a teenager, I craved action movies and my favorite movie theater did not disappoint.

Yet in my young adult years I found myself found going less often; we were like old lovers and would occasionally become reacquainted with either a fascinating love story, or an epic melodrama.

However, this time it would be different. I decided to visit my beloved movie theater one last time before I bid adieu for good. The bittersweet farewell began with my me going through the motions of the movie theater experience from buying the tickets, to waiting in line to buy overpriced popcorn, and finally to rushing to my seat before the movie began. Amidst the final day approaching, I wanted to watch a comedy to keep my spirits up.

After the movie ended I walked out feeling content knowing that Sunrise Multiplex Cinemas remained my favorite until the very end.
