I love this home town theater. It looks like it has been here forever. The movies are first run and reasonably priced, making this popular with students. It is one of the top 10 hangouts for Pacific University students in Forrest Grove.

Its awesome that this historical theatre is kept up. It maintains its old-school feel while offering picture and sound quality that is up to modern standards. On top of that the prices are great, you really cant complain.

I unironically love this theater. The atmosphere is incredible, especially for horror movies.

Didnt like that lights wouldnt be turned down for movie and when asked about it I found out theyre reasoning was because of that they served alcohol. Also the sound wasnt very good. I felt like I was watching Bane from dark night rides the whole time but I still understood Bane in other movie theaters.

Great atmosphere and small theater vibe in a central location of Forest Grove.Prices are reasonable for tickets and snacks.Srudent discount available during active terms for Pacific University students (bring Student ID).Often has box office hit movies during premiere weekend.Occasionally does additional events, i.e. Rocky Horror showings.My only hope is that the owner will upgrade seats, which are not as plush as higher end theater, therefore you might get a little uncomfortable with the 2+hr movies coming out these days.

Great snacks and service. Definitely a smaller and lower budget theater that could use some love but the ticket prices are lower than most places. Exactly what youd expect a small town theater to be :)

The guy working the counter was very rude. He acted as if i was a stranger walking into his house instead of a paying customer. My wife wanted to buy things but the man made her feel so awkard she didnt want another reaction. The screen was in very poor condition. The picture was very blurry with a weird blue spot in the upper left hand corner. They left the lights in the theater on as well which totally killed the mood.On the positive it was only $18 for my wife, daughter, and myself.I guess you get what you pay for. Do yourself a favor and just rent a movie on youtube. 4k tvs are pretty cheap nowadays.

Three stars for the sound in the theater. It was no that great. At times, it was difficult to understand what actors were saying. However, they have students discount. Overall, our experience was good. There is a small snack bar and clean toilets.

Very small town theater, one of the stalls in the bathroom doesnt open up all the way so you have to shimmy in. Tap was out when we went but they do have beer/wine, lots of flavor salts and things for popcorn. Huge theater with decent screen. Ok sound. They partnered with Ridgewalker and werent sure of the promotions they were running but I think theres ton of potential with the partnership to make it an awesome spot. Well definitely go back for the cheapest priced tickets around and ample seating for all.

Fun single theater in town! $5 Mondays are an awesome way to see a movie. The theater is huge inside, and best to sit near the front.

Love it here! $5 on Mondays. Popcorn is usually fresh with good optional seasonings. Got some decent beers. Beats the hell out of overpriced Regal!

I love this place, it just has this air of nostalgia to it that you cant find in the gram and glitz of the big theaters. Plus the prices are so reasonable!

I love the grit of this movie theatre. Dont change anything! If the yuppies are complaining about the cleanliness then they can go drive to Cinetopia, or just move back to the state theyre from - lets go with that. This theater is not for you! The popcorn on the floor never hurt anyone, it adds character. The guy that works here is always so friendly and helpful, and he serves us beer! Hes the best!

Sucks when they decide they can hold up the movie being played because some snowflake wants to talk about the movie not every one in that theaters goes to hear some snowflake talk about a movie for a class they dont have or a school they dont attend but they dont care they prefer to hold up other paying customers and annoy them. Maybe next time let them rent out a private showing as to not ANNOY AND DELAY PAYING CUSTOMERS THEY DONT CARE WHAT SOME RANDOM SNOWFLAKE HAS TO SAY, SOME OF US DONT COME AND PAY TO LISTEN TO SOME RANDOM PERSON SIT THERE AND TALK GIBBERISH AS A SELF PROCLAIMED EXPERT. THEY ACTUALLY HELD A MOVIE UP SO THIS PERSON COULD TALK TO A HANDFUL OF PPL ABOUT WHAT THEY ARE ABOUT TO WATCH. I THINK THEY KNOW WHAT THE HELL THE MOVIE IS ABOUT BEING THEY ARE THERE TO SEE IT THIS ISNT A CLASSROOM MAYBE YOU CAN INVITE THEM BACK TO TELL US WHAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE IN THE OTHER MOVIES LIKE THOR I WONDER WHAT THAT MOVIE IS ABOUT I WISH SOME RANDOM STRANGER WOULD COME DISRUPT AND DELAY THE MOVIE BY TELLING US WHAT WE ARE ABOUT TO WATCH BECAUSE SOME OF US DONT COME THERE TO SIT AND RELAX AND ENJOY A MOVIE WE PAID TO SEE NO NO NO PLEASE BY ALL MEANS DELAY MY EVENING BY DELAYING THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I moved to FG one year ago and figured it was time to try a movie here. This place has a lot of potential, if someone would just do it. Even the simple things would help, like maybe....SWEEP THE FLOOR after each showing! It was awful. It smelled, popcorn was horrible (bought a large and didnt eat any of it), the theater was a disaster, seats were filthy and uncomfortable, sound system was bad (better sound at my house!), womens bathroom was dirty and smelled like old sewage, toilets were stained or filthy...not sure which. Its so sad to see something that could be beautiful, to be left to rot. We will absolutely not come back here until some major upkeep is done. I know renovating would take a ton of money, but something needs to be done.

Yup, it is coming back, but theres still work to do. Popcorn was ok, but butter needs to be re-churned (tasted a little old). Sound could be adjusted depending on audience numbers: more = loud; fewer = not so loud. $5 bucks a ticket w/option to have beer, brats, or Schmizza, not too bad.Best,

Here are some tips hire people who are actually doing a job. 3 people on staff and most the time only one person was standing around the others were chatting with friends in and outside the theater. I assume they must of been friends of the workers sense no one else was there to watch Finding Dory. That wouldnt have bugged me to much until I walked into the theater and couldnt find a Isle that was clean. I looked hard sense I have a 2 yo who still trys to shove everything in his mouth. On top of the fact the workers were using work to socialize, the floor was filthy, they also started the movie 15 min late... I understand it being a old theater and thats what I love about it. You just need to hire people to do there jobs and have a rule that employees can not have friends hanging around it makes your buisness look bad. sorry to say I wont be coming back. considering I grew up going to this theater its sad to think I would rather pay the few extra dollars and drive to a bigger one because the bad hygein and your employees are driving all your customers off
