Sorry to hear that Maine Coast Cinemas in Ellsworth will be closing!  Yes, if you haven't heard the news, the long time Cinema in the Maine Coast Mall will be closing for good on January 19th.

The Cinemas posted the unfortunate news on their Facebook page yesterday.  The only information given was "due to a variety of reasons."

This got me to thinking of some of the memorable movies that I saw there over the years.

I remember the midnight showing of "Animal House" starring John Belushi back in 1978 and also the long line to get into the theater when "Jaws" was first showing in 1975!

Of course you can still see some fine movies playing at The Grand!

What are some of your most memorable moments at the Maine Coast Mall Cinemas?

Let me know IN THE COMMENTS SECTION BELOW, on the I-95 FACEBOOK PAGE, email me at I95@MidMaine.com or call me in the studio at 991-9713!
