Here’s an old advertisement (1973) for the Sunvalley Cinema. The movie theater was actually inside the Sunvalley Mall, in the area of JC Penney. Unfortunately, it closed in the early 1990s.
Who remembers the Sunvalley Cinema?

I saw those movies there with my dad. Also use to go ice skating next door. Those were the good old days.
Saw many a movie at the mall as a child, usually Disney films. I think I may have seen all of those films listed. I remember when a popular film would bring in a big crowd and they would have the ticket line run down a hallway to the outside of the building.
Back when movies weren’t CANCELLED for snowflakes. My family loves Song of the South, we have two copies of it still.
Wow, “Song of the South”. Good film. Too bad they won’t re-release it. All you can find now are bootleg copies.
I remember.

As bored teenagers, my friends and I would go to the midnight movies and watch “Black and Blue” (Black Sabbath & Blue Oyster Cult concert footage).
One time we went to the other screen to see what “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” as all about. We all found it and the people who watched it VERY strange.

To each their own!
First Mate and I were in the cinema when the plane crashed into the mall. It was a science fiction movie, “Enemy Mine”, with lots of explosions and other loud things, so we didn’t hear the crash.
I was also there. My GF and I were inside and walking towards Sears when it hit. Upon hearing the boom, we turned around and saw a huge growing fireball…. and at least a hundred people running towards us.
The old movie theater wasn’t located where JCPenney is. It was actually located close to JC Penney, but where the escalators are. There was also an old ice-skating rink downstairs. I miss the old safe Sun Valley mall, too dangerous to shop there now!
