True, ah well, any highlights in terms of films seen there for you?

Actually probably a perfect location for a restaurant considering it’s right on the airport strip with all those airport hotels and restaurants. It’s now a Jack Astor’s and Canyon Creek. Still miss it as a theatre though.

I still remember going here a lot in mine teens with the highlights being Forrest Gump/Lion King in the summer of ‘94, Unforgiven being my first Eastwood western and ST Generations. It is cool to see the structure still there albeit it is weird that it is a restuarant now. Kind of weird location……

The Skyway 6 was a nice multiplex theatre that Famous opened in 1980. It was actually built on the site of Toronto’s first drive-in theatre named the Northwest Drive-in which was a single screen theatre that accommodated 1800 cars. The Skyway 6 was a nice theatre for it’s time. It combined the classic curtained theatres with big screens, along with offering the convenience of multiple choice of a multiplex. The last movie I saw there was “Teachers” Unfortunately, since the theatre was located on the airport strip, it tended to attract a rowdy, party crowd. It must have been the vibe left over from the Northwest drive-in. The building is now a steak restaurant called “Le Bifteck” (I think that is how it’s spelt).
