My favorite job of all time was working at the Santa Monica Laemmle movie theater from age 19-21…read more Everything about that place, from the ambiance, the manager, the staff, the customers, the films, and the spirit made it what it was. Marshall, the manager at Riverwatch Cinemas is running his own gem. Riverwatch is a community hub where people of all kinds can find company, healthy escape, fun, life, and good old-fashioned nights out at the movies. Marshall is always on the floor, zipping around and making sure both his customers and his team are happy and running well. A little while back, during the thick of my Ph.D. dissertation deadline, I showed up at Riverwatch a couple of hours before meeting my husband for a movie. All of the decent coffee shops were already closed, but I needed somewhere to work before the movie. Marshall not only allowed me to come in early and work in the nice dining/bar area, but he also checked on me regularly, shared his love and passion for his work with me, and made a wonderful impression on me. I now understand why Riverwatch is the place to be! Movies are constantly sold out, the setting is lively and appealing, and Marshall should be credited for this. Whenever we are down and just need to cheer up or want something fun to do when loved ones visit, we get so excited to go to the movies at Riverwatch. Thank you, Marshall, for keeping this precious part of our culture thriving! Attached: photo of my husband's work's trip to the Wicked movie premiere at RWC.

The seats have definitely seen a few blockbuster premieres, but they still recline and were…read morecomfortable enough to kick back and enjoy the movie. The theater was clean overall, and everything felt well maintained despite showing a little age. The concessions delivered. The popcorn was fresh, buttery, and exactly what you hope for when you go to the movies. The ICEE machine was fully stocked and actually working, which deserves recognition on its own. Cold. Flavorful. No watered-down disappointment here. The staff kept things moving, and the theater had a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere. It's not the newest cinema around, but it gets the job done and makes for an enjoyable movie night. If you're looking for luxury recliners and the latest upgrades, you may notice its age. But if you want fresh popcorn, a good ICEE, comfortable reclining seats, and a clean theater to catch a movie, GTC Riverwatch is a solid choice. It's giving... the reliable sequel that isn't flashy but still delivers.

The popcorn tastes fine (always fresh), they got the snacks any theater has and it's always been kept fairly well maintained & cleaned. Depending on the time and day, you'd run into swarms of highschoolers or kids around that age loitering around, but most the time, I went to see my movies late and had the theater to myself and few others. Across the parking lot are restaurants you can grab a meal before or after you show and there are plenty of parking spots, that's never been an issue. I enjoy my viewings here and definitely will continue to go.

For a low price of $8 per person, you get a choice of two different screens showing either a double or triple feature. The screen showing the kids movies the night we were there had a playground as well. The gates open at 630 and everyone was playing ball or hanging on the playground or grabbing dinner. They serve the usual popcorn and candy but also have burgers and corn dogs along with fries. For 8.95 we each got a bacon cheese burger (fresh ground beef and toppings) and a huge plate of fries. More than worth it. The owners were working the concession stand and were as nice as could be. It was a real welcoming atmosphere. The seating area outside was pleasant and the bathrooms were clean. If you want to bring your own food, you can but you have to purchase a food pass. I get why they do it...they need to make money to operate. But to be honest...the food was worth every penny. The screens were typical drive in with a little difficulty seeing darker parts of the movies but the sound was great. My only knock is that they don't offer extra butter for those weirdos like me but to be honest if that's my only knock then you know its a good deal. Well worth the 90 minute drive from Greenville.

This was the first theater where I saw Bloody Sunday, Moon Rise Kingdom, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and too many documentaries to count. These movies will make you feel something inside, whether that be joy or sorrow. Of course main stream films are played here but I go to find gems like The Leftovers the last great film I saw in recent years. I'm excited to see the new movie about Anthony Bourdain soon. The fresh butter popcorn and the ice cold fountain drinks really hit the spot. This is the best theater I've ever been to in my life. If you're not coming here to watch films you are missing out. But that's okay I don't want everyone taking the good seats.

What a fabulous experience my family and I had! This was the…read morefirst time any of us have gone to a drive in movie! We arrived early, and parked where our movie would be playing. Everyone that arrived for the movie did different things... You can back in and either set up in the bed of a truck, open your trunk and sprawi out, set up lawn chairs, or sit in your vehicle. We hit the bathrooms before ordering our food, and they were SPOTLESS! The stalls are tiny, but, that was easily forgotten with how clean it was. We then headed to the consession building. They have a cute covered patio, with lots of tables and seating.There was table set up with all of the condiments you would need for anything on the menu. They have something on their menu for everyone! The consession has a lot of teenagers working there and every single one of them was attentive and extremely polite! They also did a fabulous job making our food! We ordered hot dogs, chicken, nachos, mozzarella sticks, soft pretzels and funnel cakes! Everything was delicious especially the funnel cakes!!! You've got to get one!!!! As we were walking to our car, we met the owner. He was such a nice guy and he thanked us for coming! Once we were back in our vehicle, we tuned into the radio station that would be playing the sound for our movie and got ourselves situated before the movie started. They started the movie right on time with no issues.The commercials before the movie took you back to the 50's and the quick history lesson about when the drive in movies came to be was so fun! The picture and the sound was great! We all ( including my 2 teenagers) had a great time and easily decided that we would absolutely be coming back!!!
