I am lucky enough to live only a few blocks from here so my husband and I walk to a movie every few months. We saw the new Dune here and what an experience! I love that they have new movies sometimes and I love the special events they have. Be careful though because they sometimes sell out, I saw The Shining here last fall and it was packed! So much fun to be amidst other theater lovers. The chairs could be more comfortable but the aisles are spacious so there's plenty of room to walk by with your snacks. Such a beautiful space! There are vegan cookies to choose from which I super appreciate. The butter is real butter so we have to get our popcorn plain and I wish it was better - you can't be perfect all the time. 4.75/5

A little ashamed to admit growing up in the Blaine area Sunday was my first time in the much loved Heights Theater!! It did not disappoint! Parking was easy w their small lot on the south side of the building. The owners also own the Dairy Queen next door so you can get something there and bring it in to the theater! There is a large comfortable lobby complete w having to pass by an old time-y ticket window. The seating was comfortable and sound was great. The lobby also has a few old movie posters and an old...old movie camera! Thanks Heights Theater for a great movie experience!

This theater is so cool! It's a sweet neighborhood theater with a vintage vibe. I've been to several movies here and they have a great mix of old and current ones. The best experience I've had is their annually showing of White Christmas. You can go see an organ player for 30 minutes before the show. Then there is a jazz singer, jingle bells sing along and finally the movie itself. It's a really fun few hours.

The isle with their Christmas decorations. The seats are comfortable too!

This theater is a true gem. The iconic classic theater sign had always drawn our attention and we finally had the opportunity to attend their holiday White Christmas showing this year. 10/10 recommend it - We were blown away by the classy experience. First, I was on crutches so a gentleman opened the door for us as we entered. We entered the lobby and were warmly greeted by their staff. A piano serenaded the lobby in the background, really setting the mood. They were extremely accommodating and welcoming. Snacks and refreshments are available, which was a nice touch. We sat down early and just took in the vintage theater vibe, and we were greeted by a gentleman who started telling us about the organ and showing us pics of all the different mechanisms it had access to (drums, trumpets, and so much more!). Turns out he was the guy who maintains the organ, and it was a true joy to hear about his work and passion. Soon the organist began filling the theater with great music. They also had a live piano+singer (Maud Hixton) duo perform before the film, they were just great! We felt transported back in time, to a time when people interacted without just staring at a screen. This is truly more than a theater, it's a full experience. We look forward to our next visit!

Always the best! Old movies, new movies. This place rocks. If you haven't been here, you don't know what you are missing. This is the best hidden gem of all theaters. This place is perfection.

Impressive organ show preceding this screening! And these are the NEW seats. They are super comfy and have plenty of legroom.

This theater has received an upgrade, and so has my review. The only major issue they had was with their seats. But they have torn those out and replaced them with very comfortable, cushiony, rock-y chairs that have plenty of legroom. It's enough of an improvement to add a fifth star. Seeing movies at the Heights is awesome. I can't stress enough just how effective the vintage atmosphere of this single screen cinema can be. From the tiny box office just off the sidewalk, to the auditorium bedecked with chandeliers, a velvet curtain, and a genuine Wurlitzer organ at the front, you will inhale nostalgia throughout your visit. This is especially true when they have an organist opening the show, or when they show repertory film classics from 35mm or 70mm prints. It's worth noting that most engagements will make use of modern digital projection and sound equipment; the fact that they can run old-fashioned celluloid when the moment calls for it is just an added bonus. You can read my original review for a couple notes about what isn't perfect about The Heights, but that's just me being a snob. Do yourself a favor and see a movie at The Heights sometime. It is absolutely lovely.

Had a blast at their 16th annual Holiday Show. The organist played many Christmas song favorites on the big Wurlitzer organ. Many people in the crowd were singing along. There was also a jazz vocal soloist that sang some more obscure Christmas songs with a piano accompanist. It was a fun warm-up that started an hour before the movie - so get their early! We then were treated to a digital showing (with modern THX sound) of a White Christmas - a great classic. The screen and projection equipment is all very much up to date, even though it's a quaint little 1920's theater. Refreshment prices were reasonable compared to other movie chains - but still high (My medium popcorn and soda came to $8 after all). Had a blast though. We'll be back for more special events!

Entertainment...Check Nostalgia...Check Dairy Queen...Check This place has it all. The decor is absolutely beautiful--it's so great to have a historical place like this to see a current box office movie in town. But the real treat is when you come here to see an old classic. My first visit here was this past summer during the Judy Garland Festival. To kick it off, they showed "A Star Is Born" with additional never-before-seen/heard parts that originally ended up on the cutting room floor (literally). Before the movie and during the intermission, the organist played on an organ that rises from the floor like magic. He is very good, and on this particular night, he played music from the film as well as other Judy Garland films--it was a really nice touch. The Dairy Queen next door is apparently also owned by the theatre owners, so many people went out for a cool treat during the intermission and were allowed to bring them inside. Where else can you do that?! I look forward to going back here to see other movies in the future. Even if you pay the same price as any other place, the experience is like no other!

Cute lobby area

the organ player, the jazz singer, and the bouncing ball sing-a-long just really gets me right in the spirit.
