My husband and I love going out to the movies, and I'm wondering if the members of this subreddit have any personal favorite theaters they'd be kind enough to recommend!
Edit: Wow! Thank you all so much for the suggestions, I can't wait to check these out.
Sunset Drive-In, Colchester 💕
Savoy in Montpelier is fantastic.
They are small, but they definitely have a passion. Lots of special events (I miss Trash Tuesdays), and they often have movies that no other theater has.
I miss Trash Tuesdays SO MUCH. Exactly the kind of thing I want to see there.
I adore the Savoy, but they definitely go through periods where the programming is a little vanilla for what I want from an indie theater like that.
Wish they did more with underground, artsier fare. Still my favorite theater by far, though. Happy to be a member.
I was so bummed that I only learned about Trash Tuesdays relatively near the end of it, I only got to go to a handful.
I believe the only reason they stopped doing it was that the host moved away, so I bet if someone reached out to the Savoy willing to host, they might be up to do it again.
Yeah I forget their name, but they were great!
Just wish they'd play more things like Midsommar, Titane, Men, etc. In a bit of a lull for me right now.
Given that, any time their programming has been in a real groove I've reached out just to say I was excited about it, and they've always been super responsive and receptive to feedback.
It's a hard balance to strike with artier/cultier fare and the more subdued stuff. I get a lot of Montpelier demographics may not be thrilled about, say, Infinity Pool, but that was one I was shocked they didn't pick up, that I recall.
Middlebury Marquis. They have real butter on their popcorn and the best hidden burrito stand I have seen in Vermont.
Second this! Couches for the main screen are pretty cool too
Yes! Great theater.
Well… the Bijou when it had live piano before the movie.
The bijou is still great
The opera house in Bellows Falls..great venue
It's been years since I've been, but it was super cheap for tickets and food. Lots of great memories there
Sunset when it's not winter and Essex cinema when it is.
I would watch a movie at sunset in the winter too.
Oh of course they just closed though is the only reason why I said that
The Savoy is a lovely intimate theater and you can rent out their basement screen to show whatever you like, too! Great party space.
Big Picture in Waitsfield. Couch seats, and a good restaurant attached. I'm pretty sure you can bring your dinner into the theater and there is some seating with tables.
Essex cinemas! Best movie theater I’ve ever been to!
Latchis theater in Brattleboro
The savoy in Montpelier and sunset drive-in in Colchester
8' screen on a 5-hour, southbound JetBlue flight. I hate theaters, but you would too if you were 6'6.
Palace on Shelburne road, not for the building, but for the Fathom Events shows.
Check out their Tuesday prices: $5! They’re running animated, live action, and documentary shorts nominated for Oscars. Saw the animated shorts last week; gonna check out the live action shorts next week.
My wife calls our Tuesday excursions “Tightwad Tuesday.”
Essex cinema hands down, best seats, clean, stadium seating, nothing better in this state.
I know it’s been posted a few times, but it can not be said enough! The savoy in Montpelier is the most magical theater in VT.
Capitol Theatre in Montpelier
The Rutland Mo.... Oh yeah, it's permanently closed. 😞
The Randolph Playhouse!
The bijou for Lamoille county folks. Essex cinema is also top notch
Agreed, Bijou is excellent
Palace 9, not too busy and very reasonably priced. Especially on Tuesday where a movie ticket is only 5$
After covid hit, flagship Cinema in Rutland been closed down for 3 years now 😔

Essex Cinemas is a stand-out movie theater with friendly employees, good screens and comfortable seats, and a rewards program; back when I still lived in the Burlington area, I would go to a movie there about once a week
