Assuming this was all shot over one evening, it's sometime after Nov. 14, 1980, based on the marquee for The Idolmaker (the latest released movie on any of the marquees), not to mention the recently-opened Fifth of July on Broadway (on Nov. 5, 1980). And, of course, the Christmas-themed watch ad.
Yeah and The Boogeyman movie was released in November 7, 1980.
Love this footage of old 1980 Times Square! I was 10 years old in 1980. Strange coincidence that I just watched "Humanoids from the Deep" last night on the streaming service Tubi, and now I see it on one of the movie theater Marquees, so surreal....
Nah 70s forever ... 70s Grateful Dead is WAY better than 80s Dead
Woww this was very similar with taxi driver (1976) movie
Nice extended shots that carry through, allowing you to remember all the stores and theaters along a particular block, not just jerky flashes lasting only two seconds. I enjoyed seeing Evita and other plays in the seventies and eighties before leaving NY. Time machine, thank you!
5:15 in the upper right corner: "(...)the largest color TV in SONY's history..." - 26'' WOW! :D
As a photographer, everything looked like it could be a photograph back then. But i think that's just partly through my rose coloured glasses as someone that's British and born in the 90s. The city might not have been as safe in the 70s but the grittiness of NY back then is so damn beautiful. Watching this as i listen to The Heart of Saturday Night by Tom Waits.
You just carried me back to this era. Thanks 🙌

In the beginning the year had to be 1976-77 because the movie was playing Breaker Breaker with Chuck Norris and another martial arts movie called Kill or Be Killed, both films came out around that time.
You can see the movie The Boogeyman being advertised so this was around November of 1980
I Love I Love I Love I Love New York City (1970s Version) The Most ❤🧡💛💚💙💜
great footage.
Thank you for the beautiful scene upload....
The zipper atop the EastWest store (between 1540 Broadway and the Howard Johnson's at 1546 Broadway) hawking Seiko Quartz watches was a 56 x 9 matrix, with the second and sixth rows of a 7-high character doubled up to make it 9 high. The blocky font was what was used on the Bond zipper on an on-and-off basis from 1958 until it was turned off for good in 1977. (From 1967 to 1970 and again on an alternating basis from 1976-77, another font which first saw action on the One Times Square zipper under Life magazine aegis from 1965-71, and every New Year's Day through 1977, also was used on the Bond zipper - and on this other zipper, when Gillette Right Guard advertised on this spot.)
As for the HoJo's 1546 Broadway building - doesn't it look almost like a twin of the Shopper's Corner building on the corner of North State and West Randolph Streets in Chicago as it looked at the same point in time as this? (The Magikist billboard on the West Randolph side also had a zipper of 9 high, only the 7-high characters' mapping was a bit different - the third and fifth rows doubled up.)
My first Restaurant job was at 1540 Broadway in January of of 1975. Great memories !,
THE CARS!!
Amazing!!
Funny how he waited for the walk sign
A lot fewer cars, a lot fewer people, fewer national chain stores. More local institutions.
Don't you love big splashy marquees for BOMB movies > ? 2:23 ????? I was so impressed by the custom die-cut Letters that matched tho LOGO on the movie poster. That must have cost a fortune to do ? And then ; after the movies plays out: what happens to the letters ?
Amazing
THAT'S A BIG THEATRE for The Bogeyman !!!!!!!!!! 4:08
Wow. Impressive!
Basically really hasnt changed much except for the pay phones.
nice...
You made me thirsty for an Orange Julius! Ps why were there more than one HoJo's on Broadway? Were they run by rival operators?
Too bad there’s no audio
1:16 I don't know why but the couple in the center just looks so out of place to me
Why can't life be like this again
i said this in another video too, but imagine the parties that went on back there, mustve been wild
@@bigstonez for real man
You don't know the half of what life was like back then in that trash pit
@@HattieMcDanielonaMoon would rather be there than be here
@@gargoylebonfreekygaming I doubt that very much
And we're happy here, but we live in fear.
