What a fantastic local gem. You never know what youre going to discover on their monthly calendar until you stay up-to-date and go see some movies! Nostalgic seating and arrangement, quality concessions, great local beer, and a tremendous value given the fiasco that is normally going to the movies. Well definitely be back and look forward to becoming members!

A great neighborhood movie theater. Shows all the classic movies. The ones you need to see on the big screen. Highly recommend checking the place out.

Very cool theater. Eclectic artsy just a neat place

A very nice small theater. There are concessions available such as popcorn, candy, nachos, and beer. Eclectic and entertaining features. The seats are a little uncomfortable, but still able to see the screen. I would certainly consider coming back! Would be nice to be offered a receipt at concessions, though.

I havent visited yet although Ive heard great things. I have an issue with contacting Central Cinema. Please update your website so we can assess the show times. Theres one in particular I wish to see. So delighted you have Silent films!!

This is how a theatre should be. It is small. The price is less than half you will pay anywhere else. Not all the movies are new, but the old ones are classics that I love the chance to see on big screen again. Some of the new ones are rare titles you wont see anywhere else in town. They have beer. There are fold out trays for half the seats to hold snacks.

Im so grateful that this is a business in town. Without cool movie art houses we wouldnt get a chance to see many of the films that are worth watching. They are so hip to the B movie situation that Im stunned when I see what theyre offering each week. Ive seen some really strange films and some really fun awesome things to the point that I am a total fan of this place. I want to encourage whoever runs this place to keep going... This is exactly the kind of business that Knoxville needs. Please support Central cinemas in Happy hollow district of Knoxville.

Just a great place to watch movies! The monthly change ups keep things fresh and the selections are a perfect mix for family or weird horror junkies like me. Staff is great and the location is a happening youthful up and comer for our city. I will say though, the seating is a bit stiff so bring a pillow if you got a bad back and plan to do a double feature. lol

Absolutely amazing!! Central Cinema delivers what other movie theaters just fail to deliver! The people who work there really care for film and are knowledgeable about every genre, no matter the obscurity!They host more than just film screenings as well! From comedy, to live music, and cant forget the wildly popular VHS swaps!This is a subtly known gem of Knoxville that needs to be a well known gem! So if you want to be the cool one out if your group, bring them down to Central Cinema, for a night of wonder and cinema!!

Quality picture and sound. Great selection of snacks and drinks. Always unique and exciting showings!

I love the selection of movies they play. Everyone is really nice. I highly recommend it.

Awesome theater that specializes in cult, repertory, classics, indies, and everything in between. The staff aren’t so bad, either ;)

This place is awesome!! Great people who run it and they play such great movies! Old style retro feel. Ill definitely be a regular now!

A great throwback to older theatres! The walls of this historical building are lined with old movie posters, and they regularly play old movies in their festivals. They have reasonable prices, and friendly staff. If you ever consider coming here, and love cats, make sure to check out their cats film festival! Probably their best festival out of all of them.

This place is really fun! Im glad Knoxville has it

Fabulous and beautiful to see new developments and venues for Central Cinema. Keep up the great work.

Its a quaint hidden gem. Hardly anyone goes, the seats are decent, the audio is nice and the picture is great

Classic theater, full of classic film art. Its fantastic

Went here to see Akira a few months back and it was a wonderful experience. Made me want to come back. It was a joy to visit and see others who were also invested into this timeless classic. The previews they had made before the movie started were funny to watch. I like a place that has a sense of humor like that.

This Place is Amazing, Play all the Good Old Movies from back in the Days. Being Able to see Frankenstein, Dracula, The Wolfman there was beyond Amazing. Owners are Nice and the Prices are Fair. My kind of Theatre

Such a great neighborhood theater. They show classic films and stuff you may not find anywhere else.

My first visit at Blue Velvet. Seating is great and so was the sound. Im very impressed with this little jewel. Cant wait to see another classic here.

A beautiful spot with cheap beer, what more could you ask for?

Intimate, unique, and awesome!Plenty of beers and sodas plus the classic popcorn to compliment WHATEVER film is playing. In the same day, there can be multiple films so make sure to check all the showings!

Great local cinema. Theater decor influenced by a large spectrum of films. A rare, personal haven for a community to have. The average movie goer or film buff should feel right at home :)

Great intimate movie theatre. We went for the double feature of the Universal Monsters series they are showing this month. Prices are extremely fair you get 2 movies for $15. Seats are a little small but there wasnt a big huge crowd so that was nice! Great posters, great owners! Give it a try!

Great venue with great people. Support this local independent theater!

They have wonderful movie selections. I like the Enjoy the Silents and other special series they do.

A fun, unique viewing experience for classics.

Awesome theater with intimate seating and a wide variety of films shown. I love to keep up with their Instagram and other social media to get updates of the schedule. Really appreciate having a cool, local independent theater in the heart of Knoxville.

This is the coolest place in town. First run gems, old cult classics and everything in between. Beer and popcorn and a cool environment. Go.

I showed up to see Godzilla GMK with some friends and there was a dude in a suit dressed as the King Kaiju himself. Homie slapped me five. What an awesome experience. :)

Fun theatre with fabulous staff. Great for a nostalgia trip

A nice atmosphere an great customer service

Went to see the Goofy Movie on big screen. I was so excited all week and certainly not disappointed! Loved it!

Such a wonderful place, with wonderful staff.

This quirky, local theater hosts a variety of movies, some cult classics, and things you wont find elsewhere.

Friendly, nostalgic, and reasonably priced. My new favorite movie house.

Such a nice movie theater, played one of my favorite movies on the big screen again and the staff was so friendly!

Love this little theatre. Both offbeat and classic movies.

Hands down the best movie experience in knoxville! Great staff, great prices and very knowledgeable about all movies. You can tell this is a place made of passion for cinema! I cannot recommend Central Cinema enough!

This is one of the best spots for great movies! Locally owned and operated also. Support your community!

Quant little theater that plays quirky movies.

The best place in town to watch a movie!

Im so glad Knoxville has its own cool movie theater! Im looking forward to going more often!

Awesome movie theater playing some real gems. Excited to go back!

Awesome little indie theater, they show kung-fu flicks, sci-fi classics and rare/oddity films. Very cool staff and lots of fun.

Super cool theater to see retro films as well as indie flix!!

Arthouse at its finest. But Cleaner . Keep up the efforts!

A cinematic treasure of the 21st century.

So much fun seeing my favorite childhood movie on the big screen!

Movies you cant just see ANYWHERE! This is my favorite theater in town...the staff is super nice and helpful...I am so thankful to have a theater like this here!

Been waiting for something like this for a long time. Great place to see movies, new and old. The staff is very friendly and loves to discuss movies with you. You wont find a better place to watch old cinema in Knoxville. I have made many friends here and love coming to watch movies with other people who love it too.

Great film selection, and a great staff. Had some technical difficulties, but they handled the situation with care. A+ snack choices

Seats are not the best, but the theater is amazing.
