The seats are leather and they recline which is very nice. There are several screens so it's a decent sized movie theater. The concession stand is also renovated and they added an area with a bar tap. There is parking on both sides of the theater. It seems like the parking lot on the right side gets more packed than the left side. There is disabled parking and a charging station for electric cars right out front.

It is never too loud or too quite. (Update: it was too loud for Return to Silent Hill . ) Nothing has ever obstructed the projection or interrupted the movie. The seats are comfortable and spacious. They even have themed popcorn containers and merch. The ONLY drawback is the perpetually stale popcorn. It is truly tragic, but that popcorn is always stale. Sometimes it's even cold. I really hope y'all fix this because everything else is great. Yes, they have kettle corn too, which would be great if it wasn't also stale.

Enjoy vintage cartoons, then a feature presentation complete with intermission (let's all go to the lobby, let's all go to the lobby and get ourselves a treat!) Economical - cost of the movie is FREE but support the group by purchasing goodies. The "lobby" is a tailgate with tasty theatre candy ($3), homemade cupcakes ($2) and beverages. Generous grab bag prizes are also raffled off. Educational - the younger people in your life my not know what a rotary or corded phone is, they can't imagine life without a computer on their phone, but you can open their eyes to the wonders of community film watching in the great outdoors. Extra tips - ***No restrooms on site; take of that before you come. ***Bring lawn chair or blankets and sit up front - organizers have speakers set out to augment audio. ***Be familiar with start time -at a certain point they will "be full" and you will need to park and walk in (with your blankets/chairs)

The Marin Mobile Drive-In is a regular event where some local counter-culture nerdy types drag out their personal favorites and share them with anyone within ear shot with an FM radio & eyeballs. Cupcakes, popcorn & sodas can be purchased "by donation" for a few bucks but other than that this event is 100% free. All you have to do is follow their website, meetup or facebook pages and show up on the correct night. There are more showings in the summer when the weather is nice but last year they had them periodically all year long.

My only complaint is that the tables sit a little too high, which can partially block the screen when you're fully reclined. The wraparound screen is a really unique feature and creates an immersive viewing experience. It made the Spider-Man movie we saw even more exciting. There was a great variety of snacks available. The pretzel bites and popcorn were both delicious, while the fries were a bit greasy and undercooked. Overall, we had a fun experience and would definitely come back for another movie.

Nothing fancy about it, but the auditorium seats are comfortable and in good condition, and views are great from any seat in the house since it's such an intimate space. I was surprised that the orchestra wasn't hidden below, like at a lot of other theaters, but it was great to see them perform live during the show. Lots of wind instruments, including the flute, clarinet, and trumpet, along with sounds of the violin, organ, and percussion equipment. The show started about ten minutes after the listed ticket time. The three films shown were enjoyable, especially with the orchestra doing an impressive job. Sound and picture quality were ideal. Buster Keaton had me thoroughly entertained in two of the films shown, "The Scarecrow" and "One Week". And Charlie Chaplin was delightful to watch as usual, in "The Rink", with the iconic actor in hilarious scenes at the roller rink, which I found even more amusing cuz I had just come from the skating rink myself (and had witnessed a good amount of crashing and tumbling) prior to attending this film fest. There's a lot to love about this place. Not to mention, they serve yummy milkshakes at the concessions stand. Bonus points for that!

The base was opened in 1935 and was decommissioned in 1974. The tarmac and air runways was built over wetlands that neighbor San Pablo Bay. The wetlands are back, the Hamilton Field Bay walking trail is built between the wetlands and the community. Public access to the trail is in the back parking lot of the Landing Office Complex. The Landing Office Complex are hangars have been converted to private high tech office buildings. The facade of the hangars were kept. One of the air towers was kept and renovated as well. It serves as a glass architectural piece to the building. There is no public access. But viewable from the outside. Hamilton Field History Museum is located in the prior base fire station. The museum is free but has limited hours. The Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (MMOCA) is located in the prior base headquarter 500 building. There is an admission fee. The Community Center is also located in the base headquarters building next to the MMOCA. If you are in the area, visiting the museums or exploring the wetland trail may interest you.

So we made the trek over the Richmond Bridge, this time securing our tickets online first before arriving. Prices are as follows but there are service fees online: $14.00 General $10.50 Seniors & Youth $8.50 CAFILM members This theater is wonderfully located in downtown San Rafael and street parking was easy enough to find and free since it's Sunday. It's my first time and I really like it. I noticed they screen a lot of indie-like films, and would often have Q&A panels after. There's lots of food options in the area (or bars).
