I think the Bergen Mall (and the Garden State Plaza) were among the first of their kind in the whole state. They’re the only malls I was ever aware of as a kid, so they were special places to me back then. Hard to believe nowadays, with thousands of malls having sprung up all over the place like weeds.

Strange to consider that in it’s heyday, this theater was pretty much an art house. Strange because the mall it’s located in is definately NOT associated with the type of crowd that would normally go to an “art” or foreign film. Was the Bergen Mall once considered upscale? I know they’re trying to turn it around but nowadays, it’s kind of a trashy place.

Here is an ad from when the Mall had the exclusive area showing of one of the biggest hits of 1967:

I saw it there with 4 other people, and it was so crowded we had to split up and sit separately (first time I ever had to do that). Other films I saw here: “Swept Away”, “Seven Beauties”, “Days of Heaven”, “The Man Who Fell to Earth”.
