Thanks CodyZamboni for the great photos & film list. I loved the way this theatre was built, although Waikiki 3 was my favorite theatre. I saw a lot of those movies you mentioned at the twins myself, although I didn’t know that “Halloween” played there…I think I saw that movie at the Nanakuli Cinema…

Thank you for doing so, CodyZamboni. I think I went to more films at the 1 & 2 than the main 3.

Growing up on Oahu, this was my favorite first run theatre location in the late 70’s, and throughout the 1980’s. So many good movies. Well designed theatres. Ample parking in the 10 story structure behind the theatre. I’m going to attempt to upload some photos from February 1994. Enjoy.
