    Riverview is the best! Good seats, great sound, tasty popcorn and fairly new movies at only $3 per ticket ($2 before 6pm). What's not to like?

    Voted Best Movie Theater of 2013! It's a second-run theater that shows art-house flicks and independent documentaries. A retro-vintage throwback with a luxurious movie palace feel. Read more

    The popcorn is the best in town. They use real butter on it. Also, there is more leg room in the floor seating than stadium seating. Only sit up top if you are short, like me.

    Not a bad seat in the house, but do know that the very back row is actually a very long distance from the screen... could be straining on the eyes.

    Their summer midnight movie series is consistently awesome, and it's a great way to spend a Friday or Saturday night.

    Voted Best Movie Theater by City Pages in 2010. No one can believe regular tickets are still only $2 for the 2nd run of blockbusters, smaller Hollywood efforts, and the occasional documentary.

    Where people clap if they really liked the movie. And when it's in the 90s, everyone without a/c comes here.

    This place is weirdly gigantic. I thought it would be much smaller. Show up early to snag good seats.

    Super cool old-school theater. Tickets $2-$3 and concession stand is cheap compared to the multiplexes. Oh, even though it's a retro-look the screen, sound, and seats are new.
