I grew up in a middle-class family where going to the cinema felt like a luxury we couldn’t afford. But I’ve always loved movies—the stories, the colors, the emotions that pulled me into different worlds. My first cinema experience was when I was 12. I had just gotten 5A’s in UPSR, and as a reward, my family took me to watch Magika. I still remember the excitement, the smell of popcorn, and how big the screen looked. That memory never left me.

Years passed. I moved to Kuala Lumpur to study and started earning a bit on my own. And with that freedom, I found my way back to GSC. This time, alone. I’d go before noon, bcs it’s cheaper that way. It became my quiet ritual. Just me, my love for movies, and a seat in the dark. I kept every ticket stub, little paper memories of moments I gave to myself (wish they still provided the tickets like they used to).

Back then, GSC used to give free birthday tickets. I redeemed them every single year. It was something small, but it made me feel seen, and remembered.

From a child dreaming in front of a screen to an adult still chasing that same wonder—thank you, GSC, for being part of my journey.

My visit to Aurum Theatre’s Getha Lux Suite at The Gardens Mall was truly a cinematic experience like no other. The moment I settled into the plush Getha recliner, I felt enveloped in comfort. The seats were incredibly cozy, and I appreciated the built-in features like the mini fridge and dimmable lights, which added to the luxurious ambiance.

The food was delightful, offering a variety of options that went beyond typical cinema snacks. I remember indulging in several dishes, each more delicious than the last. The beverage selection was equally impressive, with a range of drinks to choose from.​

What truly stood out was the impeccable service. The staff were attentive and ensured that every aspect of the experience was seamless. Their professionalism and warmth made the evening even more special.​

Sharing this luxurious movie night with my family made it all the more memorable. It's not just about watching a film; it's about the entire experience, and Aurum Theatre delivered on every front. I can't wait for our next visit! 

Movies have always been a part of my life and my family's past time, with that said, GSC has always been a part of that journey. 
I remember the days 20+ years ago as a boy, after church every Saturday evening, Mid Valley GSC would be what we look forward to after dinner. 
I knew that adolescent-hood kicked in when I progressed from U, to PG, to 18+ 
Movies have always been my meaning to growing up 
Even until now, I would easily clock in 2-4 times of screening time per month with my family and wife. 

Thank you GSC for being part of my journey and even though there's a rise in Netflix, Disney+ and other streaming platforms, you'll never take the cinema experience out of me 

 

If you ask me what’s the best memory I have of GSC Cinema, it has to be the first time my dad took our whole family to the movies. We weren’t well-off, but we got by. Alhamdulillah, cukup makan, cukup pakai.

That day was something else. It was my first time ever stepping into a cinema. I still remember how excited I was — the lights, the big screen, the comfy seats, the sound system… everything felt so grand. I was completely amazed.

My dad brought us to watch Transformers. Bro, I was so hyped I talked about it non-stop for a whole month! I’m serious — for a solid month I told anyone who’d listen at school, “I watched Transformers at the cinema!” with full pride. Like it was the coolest thing that had ever happened in my life — and honestly, at that point, it was.

It wasn’t just a movie. It was a core memory. GSC made that first experience unforgettable.

My love for cinema is huge since the days of Cathay and GCC. My golden memory of all time is when my dad brought me to watch Padayappa at GSC Pelangi at 17-Apr-1999 and since then my first choice of cinema is always GSC. I watched Baba at the same Pelangi at Aug 2002 and then when I started uni I bought tickets myself and watched Sivaji The Boss in Midvalley dts hall no.4. Then in 2009 I bought first online ticket to watch Avatar during Xmas and then on 01 Oct 2010 I watched Enthiran in Pavillion THX Hall. My fav cinema hall back then was Midvalley hall no.12 where I watched Casino Royale and all 3 transformers films from 2007 to 2011 in the same hall because of its world class mindblowing sound system. I got back to JB by 2012 and had to wait 6 yrs to finally get GSC Paradigm MAXX (BIG) Hall which is still the best cinema hall in southern peninsular and then we got our bonanza the IMAX at Southkey. I’m loyal patron of both these cinema halls since it was launched. I wish GSC would expand for even bigger IMAX in JB very soon so that we can experience IMAX like how people in Tokyo, London, NYC, LA & Seoul do. Best wishes to GSC for all these years of great memories to live for and to tell my kids
 

When I was single before this, I had an unforgettable experience in GSC. I had a direct long movie marathon from morning until night because I didn't have anybody, meaning single..hahahhaa
Therefore, I didn't know what to do, so I decided to go for movies. As far as I remember, I watched almost 7 movies..but the funny thing is, for 3 of the movies I just fell asleep like a baby on the highest row..since there was no people in that area...hahahaha
I grew up also with GSC because both of my sisters liked to watch movies. Can count on that every time a new movie came out, they would be there. GSC is such a second home for me. I love how GSC introduces new films, new environments..and maybe can add more space for kids.
I love you GSC. ALWAYS BE MY SPECIAL PLACE TO HAVE MY LOVELY FILMS AND SLEEEPPP..Muahhhhhhh 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

I have watched a lot of movies at GSC with my partner, family & friends and shared a wonderful moments with them, in good and in bad times in life. I'm so thankful for GSC to have this platform for people like to spent their time on and relate to a movie & being home the message to their circles and even for myself to reflect on, and applied what are applicable to my life, and be better each day. Who ever imagine a cinema could be a place for motivations and a life changer? 🫶🏻
 

I still remember the day vividly, a day in 2000, I had just received my very first paycheck. It wasn't much, but it felt like a mountain of pride in my hands. And with that small fortune, I decided to do something simple, yet meaningful — I treated my parents to a movie.

We went to watch The Tricky Master, starring the ever-hilarious Stephen Chow. I remember the way my dad chuckled uncontrollably at the slapstick gags, and how my mum wiped tears of laughter from her eyes, nudging me every time a joke landed. Their laughter, their smiles — they were the true show. In those dim seats, surrounded by the scent of popcorn and the muffled echoes of laughter from strangers, I felt something I hadn’t quite known before: the joy of giving back.

It was a simple gesture — a movie ticket and some snacks — but it felt like I had given them the world. And in return, I received a moment that would stay with me for a lifetime. That evening, filled with laughter, love, and the warmth of togetherness, will always be my most treasured scene.

There’s a quiet kind of comfort I find in going to the cinema alone. No chatter, no distractions—just me and the big screen. Among the many solo visits I’ve made, the ones that stayed with me most were when I watched Inside Out and Inside Out 2.

I remember walking into the cinema alone, heart a little heavy, mind a little crowded. But as the movie began, something shifted. Watching Inside Out felt like someone gently untangling the knots inside me—naming emotions I didn’t know how to describe, giving space to sadness, joy, fear, anger, and all the colors in between.

By the time I watched Inside Out 2, I was in a different place in life, yet the experience felt just as intimate. The new emotions introduced—like anxiety, envy, and embarrassment—mirrored the quiet struggles I had been carrying. And somehow, seeing them portrayed with such honesty made me feel seen, understood.

Watching these films alone wasn’t lonely. It was healing. I cried freely, laughed softly, and sat still through the credits, just holding space for myself. In that darkened hall, I wasn’t just watching a movie—I was reconnecting with parts of me I had forgotten to listen to.

Cinema, for me, isn’t always about who you go with. Sometimes, it’s about who you come back to—yourself.

The cinema has always been a place where I never feel alone. I came to KL early 20s for university, and in those early days, it was tough to make friends. During that time, GSC became one of my go-to spots. Every time I walked into that cozy cinema hall and watched a movie, it made me feel less lonely and always brightened my day.

GSC Amanjaya Mall has always been my go-to cinema since it’s just around the corner from home. What I love most is how clean and well-maintained it is — I’ve never once had to worry about messy seats or stuffy halls. The air-conditioning is always perfect (not too cold like some places!), and the staff there are honestly some of the friendliest I’ve met. Whether I’m catching a late-night movie after a long day or going for a weekend blockbuster with friends, it always feels like a cozy little escape. This place isn’t just a cinema to me — it’s where a lot of my best memories were made.

When I was 5 years old, my dad didn’t have much but he had this way of making the little things feel big. I still remember him flipping through the newspaper, searching for movie listings, circling titles, checking showtimes. That was how we planned our cinema outings. And on one special day, he brought me by bus to GSC Leisure Mall for my very first movie.

I’ll never forget the moment we stepped in the cool air, the sound of chatter, and most of all, that warm, buttery smell of popcorn filling the air. We watched Alien Resurrection. I was terrified, of course. I held onto my dad’s arm the entire time. But somehow, being next to him made it feel safe. That moment stuck with me.

GSC Leisure Mall became more than a cinema for me it was part of my growing up. From school days, skipping classes just to catch a movie, to keeping old movie tickets like treasures. That same cinema followed me through life. Years later, on the final day of that GSC’s leisure mall last screening and I brought my wife there. It felt like coming full circle.

It may have just been a cinema to some, but to me, GSC Leisure Mall is woven into my life story. A place of comfort, connection, and countless memories with my dad, my friends, and my own little family.GSC leisure mall will always be remembered!

When I first came to Malaysia in 2018 , as a Jordanian going to cinemas was just a luxury, not many people can have it. I was 11 years old , too excited to see how cinemas are , I entered with my family to watch one of my first movies , might be silly to say but it was Dora the explorer, it sounds childish right? But in the eyes of a 11 year old it was some of the best movies I have ever watched, on the huge screens and the comfy chairs, I still remember it to this day. Now every new movie that drops in gsc I have to go watch it with my friends or family, it's my sweet treat as a med student now to go to gsc, . I recently watched ne zha 2 and that was hands down THE BEST MOVIE OF THE DECADEEEE it was so good I cried 😭

Once upon a time, I fell in love with a boy who secretly held my hand between the seats. He reached out and gently interlaced his fingers with mine. It was warm, it was tender—it felt like home. Fast forward 10 years, and we’re now engaged and planning our wedding 🥹❤️ It’ll always be the cutest memory of how our love story began 🥰

It was one of those weeks.
The kind where everything just… collapses.
Boss let me go. My bank account was on life support. And I hadn’t had a proper meal in two days — just roti and kopi O.

But I needed a break — even if it was just 2 hours to forget the world.
I walked into GSC The Starling Mall, not knowing what was showing. I just stood in front of the kiosk, staring at the screens.
Then I saw it: A Man Called Otto. Around RM14. Why not?

I tapped my card.
Declined.

I tapped again — slower, praying it will go through.
Declined.

I just stood there for a second, very embarrassed, pretending to "check my balance" on the screen. Truth is, my face already blushed super red and was thinking of excuses to leave gracefully — didn’t want anyone to see me like that.

Then someone behind me said,
“Bro, just pick your seat lah. I belanja.”

I turned — a kakak with curly hair, holding a Coke and popcorn. She looked like someone who just finished work.
She didn’t even wait for my reply. Just tapped her card and smiled.

“Some days we all need a movie, kan?”

I don’t remember what seat I picked. But I do remember crying silently, tears rolling down my cheek before the trailers even started.
And halfway through the movie, I actually laughed.
Really laughed. Laughing. Crying. Healing.

She sat a few seats away. When the credits rolled, she just nodded at me, gave a small wave, and left. No name. No social media. Just a random stranger who gave me something I didn’t realise I needed that day — a little bit of kindness, and space to feel human again.

Since then, I’ve gone back to GSC many times.
Not just for the movies — but because it became a reminder. That even on your lowest days, someone out there still sees you.

And now, once in a while, if I see someone struggling at the counter… I do what she did. No questions. No drama. Just a small gesture.

That’s what GSC gave me.
A seat in a cinema.
A pause from the noise.
And a moment I’ll carry forever.

When I was young and was still studying in Sabah (I'm actually from Semenanjung), GSC 1Borneo had always been my favourite spot to go to when I have nothing to do, or when I was missing home. 

Why? Because my family used to have monthly mandatory movie night at GSC in Semenanjung. So, going to GSC there in Sabah sounds just right and comforting. When I first went to GSC 1Borneo, I got the same vibe, it was so nice. 

Fast forward 9 years after I watched my first movie, away from my family in GSC 1Borneo, I received a job offer from GSC. What a coincidence right?

So yeah, that's #MYGSCStory. From a place that I go to get comfort when I'm away from family to my current workplace~
 

#MYGSCStory started when I was 11 years old. I live in Tenom, a small town in the interior parts of Sabah. The only times I went to Kota Kinabalu, a city almost 150km away, is when we visited my older sister at her university. She took our family to go to GSC in 1Borneo, we watched Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I was scared of the movie, to be honest. But I've never enjoyed a movie watching experience as much as I did before. The next time I watch a movie was in 2013, it was "EPIC", we watched it the night before my sister's convocation ceremony at the same cinema in 1Borneo, that one I really enjoyed and couldn't wait to grow up and earn money so that I could frequent going to Golden Screen Cinemas just to watch movies again. For the movies, that was the story, the popcorn on the other hand, I've been addicted to it even before i ever stepped foot in the cinema. I've always asked my father to buy some GSC popcorn for me each time he went to the city, even though he didn't watch any movie at GSC, he still went to buy some GSC popcorn for his princess. Now I am 25 years old, I finished my bachelors degree last year, I hold the precious memories of going to GSC to watch movies with my friends and family, dearly in my heart. As I write this entry, I also remember the memory of the ones I shared with my late father when we went to the movies together, we are not a privileged family, but going to GSC is one of the luxuries we could afford. Thank you GSC, I've visited you in almost every phase in my lifetime, and it always become one of the sweeter times even in rough phases of my life.

It was during the midnight premiere of Avengers: Endgame. My friends and I had been counting down for weeks, and we even showed up in matching Marvel T-shirts. The energy in the cinema was electric—fans cheering, some even dressed as their favorite heroes. But the most unforgettable moment came near the end of the movie. When Captain America wielded Mjolnir, the entire hall exploded with cheers and gasps. Strangers were high-fiving each other, and some were even tearing up. It felt like we were all part of one big family sharing something epic together. That night wasn't just about a movie—it was about the community, the excitement, and the magic that only a place like GSC can create.

I’m not exactly sure what year it was probably around 2009? But I never forget the movie is Avatar. Not because of the story, but because I made the bold decision to bring my dad to the cinema… for the very first time. It was his first time stepping into a mall theater in midvalley. Before that, his only theater experience was back in the day is kampung cinema in Jinjang Utara. It wasn’t open-air, but seating wasn’t enforced either. Me and my six siblings would just sit on the floor to save money. Totally different world. So imagine the culture shock when he walked into GSC. The moment the movie started, he became the unofficial movie commentator. Loud reactions, random questions like drop from so high also won't die ah? At one point he even spit on the theater floor like he did normally at outdoor kopitiam. I call him "Lou dao..." in cantonese look at him and while I couldn’t decide whether to laugh or pretend I didn’t know him. After that day, I quietly made a decision. From that day onward, only mom gets invited to the cinema. 😂 Still, it’s one of the funniest, most unforgettable movie experiences I’ve ever had. GSC please don't saman us! 😂 #MyGSCStory

When I was younger, movie nights with my family were a small tradition we looked forward to especially when my dad came home from KL. About once every two weeks, we’d head to GSC and catch whatever was showing: rom-coms, action, Marvel blockbusters we watched it all. My dad was an avid moviegoer, and GSC was a place he often went to in KL. So having it finally come to Kuching in 2013 felt extra special to him, and naturally, it became our go-to cinema too.

I used to collect every movie ticket we got. I'd tuck them into a little pouch, one after another, not thinking much about it at the time. They’re all faded now, some nearly blank, but I still keep them. I don’t flip through them, but just knowing they’re there is enough. They hold a piece of my childhood, a quiet reminder of those comforting weekend nights and shared laughs in the dark.

These days, we rarely go to the movies together anymore, but the memories haven’t left. GSC was more than just a cinema to us, it was part of our family routine, a little pocket of joy. And in some way, it still is.

I have been watching movies since my teenage years at GSC Terminal 1. This experience has really shaped my love for cinema. Over the years, I’ve enjoyed a wide variety of films, from action and drama to comedies and indie movies.
The atmosphere at GSC Terminal 1 made each visit special, especially during movie premieres and when I went with friends. Now that I’ve moved to Melaka, I still choose to watch movies at GSC because it feels familiar and comfortable.
Going to the movies has also allowed me to create wonderful memories with my friends and family. Watching films has taught me a lot about storytelling and different cultures, deepening my appreciation for cinema.

In 2018, I watched Hantu Kak Limah at GSC with my late mother. It was one of the last movies we saw together, and I still remember how much we laughed that night. She had the kind of laugh that could fill a room, and hearing her giggle at the silly scenes made the movie even more enjoyable.

We shared popcorn, joked about the characters, and even mimicked the catchphrases all the way home. It wasn’t just about the movie—it was the joy of being together, the comfort of her presence, and the memory of us simply having fun.

Now, whenever I see Hantu Kak Limah, I don’t just think of the comedy—I think of her. That night at GSC is a memory I’ll carry with me forever. Thank you, GSC, for giving us that special moment.

In May last year, my girlfriend at the time (now her new tier has been upgraded to wife) and I wanted to watch Planet of the Apes together. We initially agreed to watch in a normal GSC theatre. However, I decided to surprise my wife, and treat her to an experience in the Aurum Theatre at TRX. So, I booked two seats at the Comfort Cabin, without her knowing, of course. 

I then told her that the other theatre was sold out, and we are watching somewhere else instead. At first, she was confused, but she went along with it anyway. 

Once we arrived at TRX, she was completely stunned. We were led to our theatre and seats, and we were mesmerised by the sheer comfort of our seats, and we curiously explored the controls of our seats. We were also pampered with scrumptious food and drinks. She was taken aback, and said she never experience anything like it before, and she will cherish and remember this movie date forever.

GSC has given us a core memory for us to hold on dearly for our entire lives, and we are so thankful for it. If our future generation were to ask us which is our most memorable date, this will be on the top of the list.

I show up to GSC for the nuggets. Crispy. Golden. Possibly blessed by a snack god. Because at GSC, nuggets aren’t a snack—they’re the main character.

I pergi GSC masa i tingkatan 2 ibu bawa i and adik ii. First GSC at setia city mall sebab situ je GSC paling dekat dengan rumah i dekat Meru. Lepas dari itu i amaze dengan suasana GSC, day by day setiap kali ada cerita menarik keluar i akan bawak family i pergi tengok wayang.

30 May 2015 will always hold a special place in my heart — it was the day of my very first date, and little did I know, it would also be the start of a forever kind of love. I was on semester break, in my final year of university, juggling assignments and exam stress. We had only known each other for two months, but he already knew I needed a break. So, he brought me to GSC IOI City Mall — my first date, first movie together, and our first step into something magical.

We watched Avengers — a perfect pick since both of us are huge fans of action-packed, superhero films. I still remember that feeling: sitting next to him, laughing over shared popcorn, whispering excited reactions during epic scenes. It was simple, but meaningful. GSC gave us the space to just enjoy each other's company without pressure or expectations.

That movie night turned into many more. From spontaneous showings to planned dates, GSC became “our” spot. Years have passed, and that sweet guy is now my husband. Life has been full of changes, but one thing remains — our love for movies. And now, our love for movies has become a family tradition. We have two beautiful kids who are already little cinema lovers — always excited to watch movies on the big screen and munch on popcorn like mummy and daddy once did. From stress relief to family joy — GSC has been part of it all. 🎬❤️ #MYGSCStory

March 20, 2016. Heavily pregnant and glowing (read: waddling), I was on my baby moon with hubby—squeezing in one last movie night at GSC Pavilion before our family grew from three to four.

We watched The Kid from the Big Apple (我来自纽约)—a heartwarming local flick that already had me teary-eyed. But just as the credits rolled and I reached for a tissue, the cast appeared live beneath the screen! A real-life plot twist. Talk about a 4D experience.

We even managed a photo with them (belly front and center), making the night truly unforgettable. What started as a sweet movie date turned into a cherished memory—and a brag-worthy story I now tell as a proud mum of three wild little boys.

GSC, thanks for the magic (and the bonus cameo)!

As a child, I stepped into a GSC cinema for the very first time — small, early, yet magical. The lights dimmed, the screen lit up, and I fell in love. Cinema made me laugh, made me cry, and quietly planted a dream in my heart. That little theatre became the spark of my film journey.
I worked hard in school, studied film at university, and eventually created my own stories on screen. I joined a TV station, and later pursued a PhD in Film Studies,all because of a dream born in that dark, flickering room.
Today, I stand in front of young dreamers as a film lecturer, guiding them to find their own voices. The dream lives on through them.
Thank you, GSC, for lighting that first spark. May you continue to inspire new generations and nurture the soul of Malaysia’s film future.

The memory started in 2015 when I brought my late dad to GSC Mid Valley to watch a movie. It was his first time coming into a GSC cinema and he was so impressed with what he saw. It reminded him of the days when movies are in the cinemas dominated by Cathay and Shaw Bros. He was so thrill to be back in the cinema as he was a movie buff. The joy on his face that day reminds me of my younger days my dad use to bring me to the cinemas. I am so grateful to GSC that has brought back those memories for me where its so precious for me to be togther with my late dad enjoying movies in the cinema. Thank you to GSC . You are still the best.

Does anyone still remember that GSC had a WeChat account called "GSCinemas"? Only the legendary GSC "old bird" fans would know about it. , 😜 My fondest memory with GSC is when I won a bundle of "GSC COLLECTIBLES" during the "Hatch the Golden Egg" WeChat games/contest. They weren’t very valuable, but they were limited and memorable. Other people kept models as their collection, but I kept and displayed what I got from GSC as my collection. Love you, GSC!

I was 8 when Dad first brought me to the cinema. It was our little tradition, every birthday, just the two of us and the big screen. After he passed when I was 15, the silence beside me in the theatre felt louder than ever. But every time the lights dim and the movie begins, it’s like he’s there again. Laughing, whispering comments, sharing popcorn. In those moments, I’m a child again, and he’s never really gone.

Wow, thinking back, one of my most special moments at GSC was in 2005. I was actually pregnant with my second child, and my hubby , our eldest daughter, and I were so excited to finally use these complimentary movie passes I'd managed to win from a Radio Station! We headed to GSC Mid Valley Megamall to see King Kong, starring Naomi Watts.
I remember being so impressed with GSC Mid Valley Megamall back then. It was one of the biggest multiplex cinemas in Asia, boasting a whopping 18 screens! Watching 'King Kong' there was quite an wonderful experience, especially knowing we were in such a massive and modern cinema. The visuals and sound were absolutely incredible in GSC.
There was a little hiccup though! The movie was so intense that my eldest daughter got a bit scared towards the end and wanted to leave. So, we ended up having to take her out, and I didn't get to fully enjoy the whole movie. A little bit of a shame, but the overall experience of being at such a grand cinema to watch a big movie like 'King Kong' still sticks with me!

A Movie Night to Remember with Dad

I still remember the very first time I stepped into a cinema. I was 16, and it was my dad who brought me. We watched *Night at the Museum* at GSC, and though I can’t recall every scene of the movie, I’ll never forget the feeling of that night.
My dad has always been careful with money. Entertainment wasn’t something he spent on often. So when he picked me up after work on his motorbike and said, “Let’s go watch a movie,” I was surprised and secretly excited. He even asked if I wanted popcorn. Although I shyly said no, he bought it anyway and handed me the first handful with a smile.
That was my very first experience in a cinema. The huge screen, the dark hall, the laughter of the audience, and most importantly, sitting next to the man who had always put our family first. He didn’t say much, but the quiet happiness on his face meant everything to me.
That night wasn’t just a movie outing. It was a memory I’ve carried in my heart ever since.
Now that I have the time, I try to take him to the movies whenever I can to create more beautiful memories, just like that very first one.

The year was 2003. When a mum brought her 10-year-old kid to watch Finding Nemo at GSC 1 Utama (New Wing), not knowing it would spark a deeper love for movies forever.

That kid was me.

I’ve loved movies since I was little. Jurassic Park was my first obsession, but I only experienced it on VHS — rewinding the velociraptor scene over and over. But it was watching a movie in the big screens that changed everything for me. Feeling like I was actually part of an underwater world. Bigger. Brighter. More magical than ever. 

Since then, the cinemas have been my escape, my time machine, and my place of memories. From the mind-bending Inception to the quiet beauty of Arrival, the raw brilliance of Parasite, the joy of The Greatest Showman, the suspense of A Quiet Place, and the emotional ride of Inside Out — each movie left a mark.

But the real magic? It’s the moments after — walking through the car park with friends, family, or a loved one, geeking out over what we just saw, talking about the twists and turns long after the credits roll.

When I got to work with Disney, it felt even more real. Being part of the experience of bringing movies to life in cinemas — it was a dream come true.

I’m so grateful that cinemas exist — to transport us to places we’ve never been, to bring stories to life, and to give us (at least, me) memories we’ll never forget.

And it all started with a little boy, a clownfish, and the magic of seeing a movie come alive on the big screen at GSC 1 Utama.

When I was young, during my primary school days, my father would randomly bring us to GSC at Leisure Mall, especially on Wednesdays when the tickets were cheaper. It felt like such a treat — skipping homework for a movie night( juz kidding, im a good student alright), sharing popcorn with my siblings (ESPECIALLY MY MOM, her all time favourite snack), and just enjoying simple happiness.

During school holidays, my mom would sometimes bring us all the way to Mid Valley KL to watch movies at GSC on the third floor. I still remember how exciting it was — back then it already felt big and amazing, but over the years, GSC kept expanding, renovating, and upgrading. It was so amazing to see GSC grow — from being just a cinema to becoming bigger, better, and even launching premium experiences like Aurum by GSC. Truly amazing!

As I grew older, GSC continued to be a part of my life in different ways. Every Chinese New Year, my cousins and I would gather after visiting relatives and head straight to GSC — it became a tradition we always looked forward to. Then came the movie nights with my high school and university friends — late-night shows, scary thrillers, endless laughter, and unforgettable memories.

One very special memory was my first date — right at GSC Mid Valley — watching Alita: Battle Angel! I still laugh thinking about how nervous (and excited) I was, but somehow being inside the cinema made everything feel so much more comfortable.

And of course, my little sister deserves a mention — no matter what movie we watched, she would always doze off within 30 minutes! It became such a cute running joke in the family.

Honestly, sometimes I would even purposely visit GSC just to buy their popcorn — no movie needed! That buttery, nostalgic smell is simply irresistible and always reminds me of happy times.

Today, I’m proud to say I’ve experienced every type of GSC hall — from the standard comfy seats to the luxurious Aurum by GSC. Each experience has been spectacular in its own way, whether it’s a simple outing or a grand treat.

From childhood memories to milestones with friends and loved ones, GSC has truly been part of every stage of my life. Thank you, GSC, for growing alongside me and giving me memories I’ll always treasure. XOXO 😘

I’m an international student studying in Malaysia. When I first arrived, I didn’t have any friends, and for quite a long time, going to the nearby GSC cinema became one of the few joys in my life. I’ve watched all kinds of movies there, but the ones that left the deepest impression on me were the horror films. Exhuma was the first horror movie I watched at GSC. I’m a timid yet curious person, and luckily, the theater was full during the screening. Whenever a scary or shocking scene came on, everyone around me would get startled or even scream, just like I did. That made watching movies in the cinema a completely unique experience.

Later on, I made new friends, and at the end of last year, we went to see Smile 2 together at GSC, another horror movie. This time, I had someone to hold hands with and scream together. I can honestly say that GSC has become an irreplaceable part of my life as an international student—a place where I can truly unwind. Thank you, GSC：）

#MYGSCStory is back when I was studying Diploma in Engineering in Ipoh, I went to GSC Ipoh Parade Mall all the time ALONE to watch whatever I want, from big blockbusters to indie films. One time, when I was broke, I REALLY wanted to watch Aronofsky’s "Mother!". But I only had enough money for the ticket. So I decided to walk 10 km from Politeknik to the mall and back…..and it was all worth it. I don’t mind if I don’t win. I just want to say thank you.

I was a young kid, growing up watching DVDs of older movies back in the day happily without knowing the true essence of a cinema. My dad who was a movie lover enlightened me about a new cinema that soon is going to be opened in my area, mentakab Star Mall. We went there and saw it still being constructed. I remember my first ever movie was 2012's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. I was scared because of the light and the sound was too loud. But, The Avengers came around and it's my first movie that i finally brave enough to see and hear, it was unreal. That's also the movie where me and my dad shared the same interest for almost a decades, The Marvel Cinematic Universe. Even though we sometimes argue or fight, GSC is always the place where we put aside our differences and bonded as a father and son, happily watching Iron Man fighting Captain America and silenced when Thanos won in Infinity War. 
Now that I'm older, I always go there alone but I always remember GSC not as a place but an experience to be celebrate with my love one. One day for sure, we're going to go there and enjoying our popcorn and watch movies like we used to. Thank You, GSC. 

#MYGSCStory is a nostalgic one. It was my first and earliest experience of watching a movie in theaters. It was at GSC Berjaya Megamall in Kuantan. The year was 2000, my parents brought us to see Walt Disney's Dinosaur when I was just 3 years old. And yet, I somehow still remember some scenes of the movie, including the interior of the hall and even the old fabric they used for the seats. I'll forever cherish that moment, as I grew up to be a movie buff and I have GSC to thank for being a contributor to my passion.

GSC has never just been a cinema to me. It was our place — mine and my late father’s. A sacred ritual we shared. We didn’t just watch movies; we entered new worlds, together. Every superhero film that hit the big screen, we were there — him with his quiet smile, me with eyes wide open.

But the last movie we watched together was Star Wars: Rogue One. I remember glancing at him during the final scene — the glow of the screen lighting up his face. He looked proud. Not just of the movie, but of the moments we shared. I didn’t know then that it would be our final film together.

Now, when I return to GSC, the seat beside me feels heavier in its emptiness. The silence between trailers echoes louder. Yet, within that quiet, I feel him. His presence. His legacy.

This year, I’m expecting my first child. And as I prepare for this new chapter, I find comfort knowing I’ll get to share the same silver screen magic with them — just like my father did with me.

Thank you, GSC, for being more than a cinema. You gave me memories that time can’t erase — and a bond that lives on in every ticket stub and post-credit scene
