(Drivebycuriosity) - Last weekend the Sunshine Cinema Theater on Manhattan`s Houston Street closed for good. The movie house will be replaced by a nine-story glass tower that boasts 65,000 square-feet of commercial office space and ground-floor retail (boweryboogie).
What a shame. South Manhattan lost an important cultural center. The place was one of New York`s best cinema theaters with modern technology and stadium city and had focused on independent & foreign fims. The building is an architectural jewel, soon it will be gone.
My wife and I have watched there some remarkable movies. Recently we enjoyed "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri" & "A Ghost Story". We attended there an Q&A with Park Chan-Wook. The maybe most important movie maker in the uprising Korean cinema introduced his film "Stoker" and director Jim Jarmusch presented there his vampire movie "Only Lovers left Alive".
