    My favorite theater, only wish it was closer to home. This place is amazing! It was rebuilt a while back since the old building was sitting on a sink hole and the creativity that went into its rebuild makes it a truly special place. Each theater is gorgeously themed and outfitted with comfy seats and balconies where adults can enjoy alcoholic drinks. There is a pub with a smaller screen as well and they have occasional events. Even the bathrooms are fancy and themed. Very fun place.

    Ok, first the pub - the burgers are all from Pineland Farms and I believe are grass fed, all natural and organic.

Drive-in theaters nowadays are few and far between, and this one is a true gem. I absolutely recommend a visit. There are two screens, and every night they're open is a double-feature on both. Heads up: CASH ONLY! There is a building on-site that has a huge snack shack and lots of clean bathroom stalls. For more information, definitely follow their Facebook page where they post the movies and other info each week. On my summer vacations to Maine from Connecticut growing up, I loved to go here with my mom, brother, and sister in my mom's truck, back it in, and lay under the stars to watch a double-feature of the latest movies. We'd curl up in sleeping bags and pillows, and there was no greater family bonding time. Nowadays, I like to go with friends, especially those who have never been to a drive-in. It's such a unique experience for all to enjoy. Being outside enjoying movies really has a special feel. The previews and "commercial break" reel during intermission transport you through time. There's lots of fun little animations, old cartoons, and vintage ads. This drive-in makes the experience of being at a drive-in truly special and timeless. They also do "retro nights" in the summer where they do a double-feature (as usual) but of classic hits like Ferris Bueller, Back To The Future, The Princess Bride, Spaceballs, and more. It is a great time! I HIGHLY recommend this drive-in!

    I think this Flagship Cinema recently (maybe in the past year or so?) updated all their seats. They…read moreseem much cleaner, there's no tears or cracking in the thick material, all the buttons to recline actually work. I noticed it a while back; this place was definitely loved hard over the past decade plus, so it's nice to see these upgrades! This is still my go-to theater: 1) I like the ease of choosing my seat and ordering my ticket online ahead of time. We've never had an issue or glitch with this. We just show up, use the little machine to scan our barcode, and it's as easy as that. 2) I like the annual Premium Popcorn Pail deal (even if the bucket is 20% smaller than it used to be). We always trade ours in at the end of the year/beginning of the new year for some kind of genuinely decent promotional deal. On average, throughout the year of using it it seems it costs us anywhere between $11 and $17 to get it filled and get one large soda (that we could get unlimited refills on if we could be bothered to leave the theater). 3) The "luxury power recliners" themselves are, for me at least, bigger and more comfortable than some of the couches I've owned. I crawl into my seat, hit the button, up go my feet, back goes my upper half, and I'm immersed in a cloud of comfort (without annoying anyone the way this same action does on a plane). And they're SPACIOUS: I can have my jacket in my seat next to me, my purse, my food... and there's still room. 4) I like that they show old movies!!! TAKE MY MONEY, I want to see Jaws here every summer. 5) FREE movie on your birthday (all you need is your ID to prove it's your big day)! Admittedly, during really busy times, it could use some additional TLC: 1) The soda area can get quite wet and sticky. 2) The bathroom trash bins are often overflowing (and actually, I think that's on you, future customer. Can you please just kind of push your towel down into the bin instead of laying it on top of it?). 3) Why are the bathroom stalls SMALLER than airplane bathrooms? I'm a small person, and I still have to contort my body to close the door. Still, it's comfortable and (mostly) clean and the staff working here can be really charming and goofy and I love that because THAT'S what a movie theater staff should be.

    This is our usual cinema for a reason! All of the theaters have huge, comfy reclining seats. We…read moreusually bring a blanket and wear sweatpants for an at home theater kind of experience! Very comfortable! If you buy a large plastic popcorn bucket for $17, you can get $6 refills for the rest of the year. Great thing about Falmouth is once you get your popcorn, you can add your own butter topping - as much or as little as you want. Drinks are self serve once you buy the cup and you get free refills. While the tickets, like most theaters nowadays, aren't cheap, flagship makes it hurt not so much.

One of Portland's treasures, the Nick has been operating in the Old Port for over 40 years, and screens mainstream indie films as well as current blockbusters. Surrounded by the best restaurants and cafés Portland has to offer, it's super easy to park and combine a dinner and a movie. The garage next door is a sure thing if you're not into street parking, just know it's closed on Sundays. I probably see a dozen or so films a year at The Nick--I like to see all of the Academy Award nominated films, and this is the place to catch all of the best picture nominees. In the past few weeks I've seen I'm Still Here, Nickel Boys, and The Brutalist at the Nick. A great experience every time--I've walked right up to buy tickets with only one party or two parties in line, at most. The selection concessions offered is reasonable, and includes vegan options. Seats are comfortable, however, they aren't the giant recliners offered at the big corporate cineplexes. Also, you can buy tickets in advance, but you are not able to reserve a particular seat. This is a old school sort of cinema, and yes, the bathrooms are upstairs. They are clean, and you can say hello to Audrey Hepburn on the large Breakfast at Tiffany's poster on your way down the stairs. People really seem to enjoy $6 ticket Tuesdays. Otherwise, tickets are $10 for a matinee and $13 for an evening ticket, less for children and seniors. The Nickelodeon is one of my favorite places in Portland, one of the few institutions that's managed to stand the test of time, and I hope it is able to stay around for another 40 plus years.

    The building is very beautiful inside and parking is convenient since there's an attached garage…read more The staff is very friendly, too.

I have been a long time patron of this theater. 20+ years. I've seen many owners, tons of changes, the scare that was Covid-- but one thing was always consistent besides the fresh popcorn. The staff. Many of us know who I'm talking about. The projectionist- Gracia- was there for longer then I had been a patron. She ran that place from the ground up. She even crowd funded (which I supported) purchasing the theater in 2019 before it was sold from under her. She was the bones the bread and the butter of that place. It was a labor of love and watching her adapt over the years and be so consistent was such a joy. Along with her awesome t shirts. This year there was yet another change of ownership. And I have come to learn that she was discarded like her 25 years of service meant nothing. And not only that, I was lied to that she left on her own. Which isn't the case. They also let go another staff member that has disabilities but a whole lot of heart. Sam was the light of my weekend. They worked there 12 years. My heart is heavy. This place was much more than a cinema. It was community. And now it just feels cold. I will not be returning.
