This twin started life as a Jerry Lewis Cinema. When that chain went under film booker Mark Laffey opened it as the Flick 1 & 2. It played a combination of first run and moveovers and survived until the Meadowbrook became a multiplex and Loews built the Nassau Quad.

Does anyone know if there was ever a list of all the Jerry Lewis theatres?

Wow! This one completely slipped my mind and I went here more than a few times in the 70's and early 80's. I saw the re-issue of "Vertigo" here in around '83, "My Favorite Year" and a reissue of "Jungle Book" (love that movie) around 1984 or so. That's the last time I remember seeing anything here. It was a decent double theater in a decently maintained but HUGE shopping center right on Hempstead Turnpike in "beautful" East Meadow.

The other Jerry Lewis Cinema that I know of on LI was the one in Massapequa that is not listed on this site (I think...)

They used to play some offbeat things here in between the normal bookings. The Jerry lewis Massapequa theatre is not on here yet. I would add it but I am not sure if it was a twin or single screen.

Marc, through Florin Creative Film Services booked the Flick and the 8th Street Playhouse. Thus the great double features. The people who owned this theatre, also owned the Mini-Cinema. One owner ran Cinema 5 Theatres, the stella art circuit in the 80's (Cinema I & II, Sutton, etc.)

To fill in the gaps, between being a Jerry Lewis and becoming the Flick it was known as the East Meadow twin.

When the movie The Hot Rock came out in 1972, we deliberately went to see it at this theatre, knowing scenes were filmed locally. (Filmed all around NY,Brooklyn, too)
Opens with Redford getting out of jail-actually Nassau County on Carmen Ave. Then later when they spring the other guy out, they escape, driving right around the movie theatre (well, the strip mall) we were watching the movie in!

That's happened to me in Westwood, CA, more than once. We were watching some movie and one of the scenes was filmed in front of the theater we were in. Kind of an out of body experience.
posted by ken mc on Feb 25, 2009 at 10:11am
And what movie would that be?

posted by Lost Memory on Feb 25, 2009 at 10:14am
No idea. That was probably in the early or mid 80s, when we used to go to Westwood Village every weekend.
