More on Güneş: The earliest newspapere listing for this cinema that I could find is from 1966. In 1973, it was one of the cinemas where LAST TANGO IN PARIS premiered in Istanbul. In mid-1970s, its output consisted mainly of Euro (mostly Italian) soft-core sex movies. In 1990, there was a fire suspected to be arson. In 1992, it was closed down for two weeks by the police for showing pornographic films.
This cinema was raided by vice squad on charges of being a venue for gay prostitution in 2008. I think it remains closed since then.
