I only went to this theater one time. My dad took me here to see Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare, in 1991 (I was about 9). I think it closed down not too long after.

It was a Designer Show Warehouse for years. Then in 2009 half of this plaza was torn down (including DSW) and became a parking lot for the Aldi’s grocery store they built in the back.

As a kid I went to the comic book shop Northcoast Nostalgia which was pretty much next door all the time (this is about 1994-1998). Since the building it was in was torn down as well, Northcoast moved its operations not very far at all; it is now in the plaza in the back adjacent to the Aldi’s.

I never went to see a movie at this theater, but I did go to The Barnes & Noble it became a few times in HS (this is the late 90s).

Since it has been Boneyard for about 5 years now I have been inside it MANY times (it’s a great bar), but I do wish I went to a show back in the day…

I only went to the La Salle one time, in June 1989. My Dad took me to see Batman. I was 7 ½ years old, but still remember it fondly.

I have since gone inside when they have it open to the public, usually for the occasional Euclid Beach Park exhibits or when the 185th Street Fair (RIP) was still around.

ATTENTION: This theater is still open! Yes its true it closed down On November 1st, 2010, but it was for only about 10 days (for renovation). It re-opened around November 10-11th, but now instead of Cinemark it’s under Phoenix Theatre management (which also owns the theater at Eastgate Plaze on SOM Center Road). It looks EXACTLY the same inside, and the dirt cheap prices ($1.00 and $1.50) are still the same! The only thing different is the partial name change.

I grew up on Brush Road (right around the corner to Movies 10) and lived on there for about the first 20 years of my life (1981-2001). This theater opened up when I was about 9 yrs old; so from about 1990 until I got a car in ‘98 me and my brother rode our bikes there nearly every day in those 9 summers to watch the same dumb films over and over and to play the arcade games (Simpsons, X-Men and Ninja Turtles anyone??) I saw hundreds of films there. I have many fond memories of this theater and it’s definately the one I went to the most by far. I still occasionally go here to either catch a film I missed the first run, or I waited because I didn’t wanna pay full price lol. And I plan on going here until it DOES officially close down. Movies 10, the best dollar show ever!
