World Imports had the coolest stickers--not like what you'd find in the stationery where I would always get my stickers. This was back in 1983.

This mall is all new now! Now known as the Bergen Town Center

I have a feeling my grandmother took me to that mall back when I was a kid. I was having, sort of, flashbacks as I watched it. I do not, however, remember a chapel...but then my grandmother, may she rest in peace, did not spend much time in chapels.

Great to see the film back up with its original soundtrack in its new home.Take THAT, WMG!!

I grew up in Paramus and as the mall did have the only decent head shop in town in the late 70's, I hung out there frequently. I can still remember the Village Shops being totally occupied and contemporary stores (for the 70's). I even remember seeing a few performances at the arts center. Thanks for posting this video and bringing back some really cool memories

SORRY! stupid me, I didn't realize you had the music listed in the credits! Well, thanks again for making this awesome little movie. :]

Ew, man, I'm sorry youtube took the music off this video. The pieces you chose went so well with the film and were really beautiful in and of themselves. Do you possibly remember the track titles and artists for the songs played a the beginning (it was jazzy sounding) and while you were in the chapel and exploring the basement? I'd really love to know. Thanks!

World Imports sold rock t-shirts back in the day, and even in the mid-80's you could buy the Aquarian newspaper there on tuesdays the day before it regularly came out in most places. As a kid in Hackensack we mostly shopped at Valley Fair in Little Ferry so the BM seemed like a vacation to us! In the early 80's there was a small restaurant by the one exit where later there was the restrooms and a nail salon around the corner from Baskin Robbins where they had cafe seating outside the store too

"that Place" meaning the Joint Venture...there were a lot of good stores downstairs there. Even till a few years ago there was some model shops and a woman who sold used books there. Kind of sad to see it all change

I remember that place...it was across from the little food court downstairs. As a kid we went to the BM a lot because it was the closest mall that had a bus running to our street. It's the new Bergen Town Center now...seeing this video brought back a lot of memories. I saw Uncle Floyd at the "Playhouse on the Mall" back in 1981, and in later years I liked Value City. Good vid, thanks for making it!

Who remembers Joint Venture that was in the Village Mall. It was a head shop that sold pipes and rolling paper. I remember going there, and it was always full of local high school kids. The place was eventually closed down because of a local ordinance banning the sale of drug paraphernalia.
