I only remember the open air cinema at Holland Village. It was where 'Windmill mall' now stood. HV was a rough place...lots of fights.

Odean Theatre along North Bridge Rd where English movies were shown and the opersite one, Jubilee Theatre will show Chinese love or tears breaker movies from Taiwan with stars like Chin Han, Alan Tang, Lin Ching Hsia, Lin Fong Chiao, Chen Chen ....... etc. :wub:[smash][smash]
