This below-ground facility, functional and uninspiring in appearance, is currently one of the finest art houses in Manhattan, showing the best in new foreign and independent films. Located on the west side of the city, almost directly across from the cultural hub of Lincoln Center, it is an indispensable mecca for the mega-legions of area cinephiles.

Strange! I would guess that “older people” would be quiet during the show, having developed their moviegoing behavior at a time when such rudeness was discouraged by management.
I’ve noticed that, too. With the older people, they think they are whispering to their friend about what happens in the next part of the movie, but because the friend is hard of hearing the whisper ends up being normal conversation level for the rest of us.
On October 30, 1992 Lincoln Plaza doubled its capacity from 3 to 6 screens. I though the doubling occurred earlier than that when the Cinema Studio closed in 1990. I believe the Dan Tabott owned or at least ran both Cinema Studio & Lincoln Plaza.
The delay helped the Angelika establish itself as the top arthouse in NYC.

I believe that the LINCOLN PLAZA is a great place to show great independent movies.

This opened on April 8, 1981 with Fellini’s “City Of Women”.
It’s difficult to make this underground venue look glorious but this photographer has done his best.
