I remember the old theater, saw Back to the Future, Breakfast Club, Splash, and others I don’t remember there.
This complex was designed by STK Architects.
Mary, perhaps you should have been paying attention to the person you were conducting the transaction with instead of being so blatantly selfish and rude by chatting with someone else.
The new Senior Operations Manager at the AMC Santa Anita 16 came from the theatre I work at, the AMC Neshaminy 24, in Bensalem, PA. He started with AMC at the AMc (Former GCC) Franklin Mills 14, in Philadelphia, PA
I agree with Jeff, Mary, how can you judge an entire staff and experience by just one person. That’s just ridiculous!
Mary, I wouldnt judge your experience by one person. when I went there the staff was over joyous and really too friendly. And I liked that.
They were willing to help, and were pleasnt to talk to.
My first expreriece at this specific theater has been very diappointing. Some of the employees were not very pleasant. For example, a girl named Debbie does not understand the meaning of kindness. I was signing up for the movie watcher’s program and this young lady was very rude. She gave me attitude when she handed me the card because i was talking to another person. She said “Here” in a very rude tone. This happened about the first week that you opened and i can still remember. I do not want to step foot in this theater again.
They WERE terrible, but when you’re a kid, you didn’t care. It was
THE MOVIES!! I remember when “Grease” played there! And “The Shining”. “Coma”. “King Kong”…..
I haven’t been to the new wing of the mall, but a friend went and said it was truly beautiful architecture!! A mall?!?! Apparently so!
I was also only in the old theater once when I was visiting a relative near there but the theaters were terrible.
I should check the new one out next time I am in the area.
I attended the old GCC only once to see the Scorsese version of “Cape Fear”. Typical of mall quads the theaters were nothing more than little crackerboxes. I am looking forward to checking this one out.
One word, beautiful. You would never think that there could be 16 screens in there, but they really did it. As soon as you approach the theater doors there are little details that sets AMC Santa Anita apart. The first being the various quotes from some of the most memorable movies ever made. Then, almost naturally, you look up to see paintings of those same movies' characters. Wow! The new theater is rightly located upstairs and away from most of the mall madness. They have their own escalator that they share with another excellent addition, Dave and Buster’s.
I frequented the GGC theatres when I was a child. My family would go to the Racetrack and drop me off to the mall. They were small but they played first run movies. I remember the run of “Grease” was forever.
Boy, I guess this means I’m truly getting older. I remember going to the GCC four-plex umpteen times when I was a kid. “Tommy”, “Logan’s Run”, “Phantom of the Paradise” et al.
The address for the new Santa Anita 16 is 400 Baldwin Ave. Ste. 940-U, Arcadia, Ca. 91007.
