    It bets driving all the way to Salem just to watch a movie. I also love the old theater charm it has.

    My money went a lot further here than it would've been going into Salem.

    This is a great, independent cinema. They show a mix of some blockbusters, many independent movies,…read morean occasional screening of a movie from yesteryear, sometimes a surprise movie and some movies that are very locally based. Sometimes they even have the director or someone else directly involved in the movie making an appearance for an audience q&a after the show (for example, they have a movie which was directed by a young, Portland director wherein he will be appearing for a q&a next week. Another time they had a young man who did a documentary about his travel down the Columbia River in a canoe he had built). They offer this variety while doing an exceptional job of curating the films and keeping the mix of films showing at any given time diverse. They also vary the show times nicely with the actual number of showings of a particular flick also varying by the day, with show times also fluctuating to different times on different days. The theater itself has comfortable seating that is well tiered so that heads do not get in the way of one's viewing. Also, the seating is positioned so most seats look directly at the screen as opposed to having to tilt one's head a bit to watch the film. I find the size of each theater to be intimate but not small, probably seating in the 130-150 person range. The sound systems are excellent. The theater floors are kept clean, as are the restrooms. The website is well constructed, easy to navigate and filled with information. I am not a big movie goer, especially since Hollywood has placed the wow factor and other film features far above the screenplay value. In my youth I was a regular filmgoer, enjoying the big Hollywood productions, but also the indie flicks playing at the indie theaters. I now find myself being pulled back before the Bigscreen as a result of finding this theater. When visiting Corvallis, which I do frequently, if I have not decided on what to do while their then the Cinema's website is often a go-to for consideration of finding something fun to do. I am impressed with this independent theater and encourage all to visit the website regularly to find new and interesting movies to sink yourself into for a few hours.

    Salem Cinema is Salem's repertory movie theater with several screens, and stellar programming…read more They will show select first run films that no one else gets. Movies need to show in theaters to qualify for an Academy Awards nomination. If they were made for streaming, and they need theatrical, Salem Cinema may get them. That was the case for Kathryn Bigelow's House of Dynamite. It's a Netflix property so most people will see it on a small screen. It deserves a big screen like the Salem Cinema. The Salem Cinema is in a modern building with some vintage interior panels. It is very clean. The rest rooms are clean. The theaters have great seats and good sound. I did not hear any sound bleed between theaters. They do a good job with their vintage graphic design. Where the Salem Cinema could improve, thus the loss of a star, is to expand their food and drink options. They have a large seating area in the lobby. It was empty. There is a dedicated parking lot. Keep an eye on their schedule. You may find something new or old that is not playing elsewhere.

    Vintage poster design changes monthly. They are a multiplex, so check the full schedule.
