    I really, really like this smalltown indie theater, especially after the ownership change in 2026…read more (Nothing wrong with the previous ownership, it's just next-level now.) It's a three-screen theater that strikes a good balance between mainstream/current Hollywood fare and art-house one one big screen, one medium, and one tiny back room. I mostly go for the art films (documentaries, independent, and foreign films), which they show in once-weekly showings for four seasons of about 10 weeks per year with short breaks between. These are a real highlight of my weekly leisure time, and I buy seasons tickets for myself and one other person, sometimes two. The films are well-curated, rarely do I not like or love one, and the introductions genuinely add to the enjoyment (there is also after-film discussion but I'm not a late-night person so I don't stay for those). The new ownership brings an obviously fresh perspective, clear commitment to investing in the facilities, and welcome but not too dramatic changes to various things like the snacks and ordering lines. Nick is making upgrades carefully without too much risk of fixing what ain't broke, which I think is prudent. There's fresh paint and decor, a new Visulite logo short clip that is worlds better than the nauseating previous one, and a generally obvious love of film/cinema is on display. The previous owner loved cinema too, but it just felt a bit stagnant, and now it feels fresh and revitalized. One thing that stands out to me is that someone is really investing time and considerable talent in things like pre-screening intro shorts. I was at the anniversary showing of Blue Velvet and there was a sequence of interview snippets and short excerpts from David Lynch films that showed before the feature, and it was really seamlessly put together and coherent. That doesn't just happen: it takes skill, planning, care, and effort. I really appreciate things like that and get a very strong, optimistic sense for the future as a result. Another thing I want to note: I think I understand some of reasons why one of the theaters is tiny and dingy. If you learn how the Hollywood studios force a one-size-fits-all model on their distributors, who do the same to theaters, you will understand why theaters maintain a very low cost option to cut their losses when they are forced to do things that will not only fail to make money, but actually lose them money. I'm sure I'd understand a lot more if I were in the biz myself, but I think I get the gist of it enough to give them credit for adapting to a pretty harsh, unforgiving business environment.

    Great little theatre with food and drink. Usually not crowded during the week. Right in historic…read moredowntown Staunton, VA
