Boarded Up in the Late 80s

The Brentwood movie theatre received a second life showing Bollywood films in 70mm on their huge, curvalon-style screen.

“It appears that this theatre might have been constructed as a D-150/Cinemascope/Cinerama theatre, although I was unable to confirm this”.

I am sad that its no longer a movie theater but at least the building is being used for something positive rather than continue sitting there empty being an eyesore.

As a child I saw Fantasia here on one of its re-releases. Seemed at the time a long drive from my home in Northport.

Is it still a soccer academy? How’s the interior?

Scott for most of its Life The Brentwood was UATC . I don’t think General Cinemas had theaters in Long Island

Originally built by Prudential and probably made the transition to UA.

I’m 93% sure I saw “This is SPINAL TAP” here, circa 1986 (aprox.) Yes, this and the Babylon looked alike- I confuse them.

Bloop, you are incorrect. The Brentwood looked nothing like the Babylon which was constructed in the 1920s. Prudential Theaters which had a similar look were the North Babylon, Cinema Bay Shore and Mid Island.
