The Riverview Theater is a wonderful place to catch second run movies for an extremely reasonable price. The architecture is beautiful, the movies are fantastic and price is right. They also have midnight screenings and special events. By far, the best place to see a movie in the Twin Cities!

Parking can be tricky, so arriving a bit early is a good idea. But the discounted second run movies, mid-century modern interior and reasonably priced snacks are worth the trip. Their seats are updated with cupholders, and arms that can be raised to improve the ability to snuggle while you watch.

Took the kids to see the Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Unique architecture, very reasonable concessions, comfortable seats.

This discount theater gets you into opera-stadium style seating for between $3-6 per ticket. Watch out for special events: midnight screenings of Firefly showings, Oscar shorts, even the Olympics.

Love the Riverview. Excellent deals on films, popcorn, drinks, and snacks. However, I've been lamenting that their program hasn't been great in the past few months.

It's always fun to visit the Riverview Theater because of the authentic retro furnishings and maintenance of this historic movie house. I find it satisfying to go here not only for the super-cheap movies and treats, but to support this distinctive business that helps keep the neighborhood feel in Longfellow.
