Georgia’s oldest operating indie and art house theater. Art Deco 1920’s vibe, but with mod gear/sound. Constant rotation of classics and new releases. One my fav spots in the city !

Erica Meerbach

Everyone should definitely come and see the Rocky Horror Picture Show every friday night because Lips Down On Dixie is an amazing cast full of amazing people!!!

Naveen Ap

Get front row seats or corner ones ... The floor is not sloping n is almost flat so the person in front will surely block ur view of the screen ! But the theatre gives u an old school feel :)

Geoff

New ownership drastically changing this once great historic landmark . Business model is strictly corporate; no more arcade , no Spookshow, art deco charm all gone. Not to mention the longtime staff .

Wendy Darling

Follow on Facebook to get latest announcement re films coming in. Schedule is not always listed far in advance, especially one-time showings.

I love when Plaza shows classics! I've watched 'Meet Me in St. Louis' a bazillion times, but seeing it on the big screen last night was like seeing it for the first time...nothing like it...

The Plaza Theatre is Atlanta's oldest continuously operating cinema ; it opened in 1939 as an art deco theatre and then was an X-rated adult cinema & live burlesque show in the '70s (until 1983).

Jason Thompson

One of the best theatres in the country . They support film and the local arts .

Gabe Smith

They don't make 'em like this anymore. A great blast from the past for nerds of many stripes - come early for the cartoons. And bring quarters for the retro arcade .

Chad Elkins

Spend some time checking out all of the wonderful old movie posters that adorn the walls inside the main entrance. Also, be sure to check out the great collection of old school arcade games .

Oakland Cemetery

Plaza opened its doors in 1939 & is the oldest continuously operated cinema in Atlanta. A non-profit Foundation was created to restore the theatre, promote independent film , & support the local arts . Read more

Beautiful theater. Deeply rooted in A Town history. AND the popcorn is salty and buttery throughout! ;)

jaycee

One of Atlanta's few truly historic landmarks . You MUST go see the weekly Rocky Horror Shows where you can physically do the Time Warp with men in corsets and stilettos ...simply fun & amazing!

Lewis James

Movies are good, but you have to walk up stairs to get to one theater. The heating fans are loud and distract from the movie .

Tucker Warner

Love the Rocky Horror Picture Show and the Room.

Diana Chastain

LDOD is performing a Friday AND Saturday night showing of Rocky Horror this Halloween . Remember when you check on foursquare you get a free raffle ticket.

Geoff

Actually, no, you CAN'T buy tickets early for Rocky Horror unless it's Halloween weekend. That's also the only weekend it sells out. Just get here by 11 any Friday night. you should have no problem.

Andrew Johnson

Hippest theater in the city . They get a lot of stuff after Tara and MAC, but a lot of exclusives and the cult movie events are amazing!

Carl Black

Support a historic theatre and benefit the Plaza Theatre Foundation each time you buy a movie ticket or make a purchase.

Anna

See "The Room" the last tuesday of the month, or "Rocky Horror Picture Show " every friday! Both are excellent films that encourage participation!

Justin Morante

Saw Evangelion 2.22 here and Trigun: Badlands Rumble here. This theatre is so cool. Definitely worth the 45 minute drive.

Calen Johnson

Very nice spot. Very ideal for premiering indie films .

Marcelo Estrada

Great place for Indie and Cult films . They still do Rocky Horror!

Scoutmob

The Plaza Theatre shopping center was the first "mall " in Atlanta to have off-street parking .

Richard West

Always watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show here on Fridays at 12 midnight.

Jill

They have a $5 popcorn and drink special on Thu.

Monica Randklev

Bring cash. The phone lines were down and the ATM ran out of money. But everything else rocks.

Michael Furl

Yes love the Plaza !!

Corky Henderson

I haven't been here in over 10 years...very interesting...rather vintage
