Riverview is the best! Good seats, great sound, tasty popcorn and fairly new movies at only $3 per ticket ($2 before 6pm). What's not to like?

City Pages

Voted Best Movie Theater of 2013! It's a second-run theater that shows art-house flicks and independent documentaries . A retro-vintage throwback with a luxurious movie palace feel. Read more

The popcorn is the best in town . They use real butter on it. Also, there is more leg room in the floor seating than stadium seating. Only sit up top if you are short , like me.

Andrew Balfour

Check out the bathrooms !

My favorite movie theater in Minneapolis. Old retro style , comfy seats , friendly staff , and the cheapest ticket/concession prices in town ! Cash only !

Chris Duhaime

Not a bad seat in the house, but do know that the very back row is actually a very long distance from the screen... could be straining on the eyes.

Zoë Friberg

Super #cheap , nice people, #vintage, and well kept up! Especially great if you don't mind waiting for movies to get there.

Voted Best Movie Theater by City Pages in 2010. No one can believe regular tickets are still only $2 for the 2nd run of blockbusters, smaller Hollywood efforts, and the occasional documentary .

Best kept secret in MSP. Get the big popcorn . It's worth it.

Where people clap if they really liked the movie . And when it's in the 90s, everyone without a/c comes here.
