Great little community theatre...historical and still ticking. Has specials on certain days on entrance fees. A community mainstay. Shows and times vary, new and popular movies. Small venue but it works...very family friendly and snacks...popcorn..and all great treats are available. Seating is first come first serve...gets crowded sometimes...but the ambiance works. If you like a community feel to watching movies...try this place. Not for the quiet at heart...workers are friendly. Catch a movie before or after shopping with Fig Corridor...restaurants and clothing. Vintage Theatre...support. Parking is a challenge but it is available on side streets.

The Highland Theater is the closest thing to a time machine well get in LA. No other theater quite captures the sights and smells of a night spent at the movies as a kid in the 90s like this place. What makes this even better as an adult is having that nostalgic feeling and then being able to hit up one of the many bars in the area before or after the movie.Treat yourself to a sketchy hotdog or nachos loaded with questionable cheese. Order popcorn and add all the liquid butter and flavors your heart desires. Want cheese popcorn? Theres a shaker for that. Want caramel flavor? Theres a shaker for that. Is it good for you, probably not but it tastes good and thats all that matters.Like everyone else said, if you want a fancy theater, this isnt the place for you. However, the prices are unbeatable and the staff is friendly. Give it a shot with an open mind and I think it will quickly become a staple that holds a special place in your heart.

Clean, tastefully modern, ample personal space, especially for the long-legged movie-going giraffes like me. Great assortment of refreshments. I have a very short list of theaters that are around nowadays which provide a decent, movie-going experience without feeling like Im sitting in current-day coach class on domestic flights, and Highland Theatres is on that list.

My boyfriend loooooves this place. He is super excited about going back. The movie theater has all recliner chairs for regular admission. The bar serves great drinks (little pricey). The temperature is perfect and the theater is clean. The sound quality is also top notch. Cant believe all the perks that come with regular admission

Very reasonable priced tickets, before 6PM only $7, evenings are $10 and I believe 1 day during the week they have a low price all day and night. The only downside is typically they only have 3 movies to choose from, picture and sound are good, seats old but still comfortable but not reclining, no advance seating selection available here but if you go to a matinee its normally pretty quiet and most seating is available anyways.

Movie theatre in the heart of Highland Park, near restaurants shopping and entertainment. They play first run movies, and have pre-releases (midnight shows) periodically. Check their website.They run 3 movies at a time. The theaters are small, so you need to arrive early if you really want to see your movie because they sell out. It is clean and seats are comfortable, but it is not stadium seating.The best time to see a movie here is Tuesday and Wednesday as all shows are $7. If you sign up for their newsletter, they will give you a coupon for a free small popcorn.There is a small parking lot here, but usually full. There is plenty of street parking in the area, so be prepared to walk a bit if you cant find something in the lot or on the street on the side of the theatre.I do not visit this theatre often. If I do not feel like traveling to other theaters in Hollywood or Pasadena, will wait for the bargain day to see it here.

Great prices, but the theater layout is a bit flat, and the seat backs are high so not ideal for little ones. But tickets are so cheap, kinda worth telling the kiddos to sit on their knees.

My friend Jack loves this theater. He once wrote a movie about a boy called Jerry who starts turning into a badger and loses everything. He poured his heart and soul into that script and I dont think it will ever get made

Wish they had larger movie selection. Can beat $6 Tuesday and Wednesday. Very old movie theater ... therefore old theater seats and down slanting narrow theaters. Really enjoyed seeing Coco here. Don’t miss the popcorn.

I rather have The Big Screen Theater. Instead of Honey! I Shrunk The Highland Park Theater! I would pay to watch 3 Movies. Depending how much? Used to watch 3 Movies for .99€! Like to have the Old Theater w/The Big Screen! Even have the Upstairs Balcony Open & get it Packed it w/Family Day/Night! Back To The Future!

Review №66

I was in the mood to see a movie but didnt feel like the crazy price. Got in before 6pm on a sunday and paid only 7 dollars. The place was suprisingly quiet which was awesome. I read other reviews that said the place smelled, the only thing I could smell was perhaps cleaner. I wasnt sitting miserbaly holding my nose. The seats are fine. If you are high maintenance need luxury, you may not like it. But for the rest of us who can do without stadium seating this place is cool and lowkey. To see new movies at half the price is a score! Will definitely be back!!!

Old school movie theatre and they play all the latest movies.I think they have the best popcorn compared to all the big house franchise theatre.However I can never go there because my girlfriend complains it smells like old dirty socks you find under your bed after months.I believe the theatre just needs to clean the drapes. They are probably the same drapes since it was a adult movie theatre many years ago.

Ive been coming here for years since the time they had movie showings for Tuesday and Wednesday special of $3 bucks. My father loves the small theater where you now can still get to see a new movie for $5 on Tuesday and Wednesday special. You cant beat that fee with a stick even if you wanted too. Love coming in to see all the new movie features

The Highland Theatre is a landmark. Its been around forever, and its so fantastic having a small local theatre to go to, with such great prices.The new staff is friendly and helpful, but I do miss the old staff! Nostalgia and whatnot. One of the best spots in Highland Park!

Review №82

Cheap movie theatre. The tickets are about 7 dollars. Small and pretty cheap but what Id expect from a cheap theatre. Dont recommend going there if you want to watch a movie with amazing visuals, youd want to go to better place for that. But otherwise I think this place matches the price.

Review №83

Great safe Neighborhood Theater with first run movies at the best prices in town. New management and new staff have given the place the much needed better seats and better sound and projection. If you like first run action packed movies the day they open for low low prices, this is the theater for you. The prices are even ridiculously lower on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Go!

Highland theatre is a classic theatre to watch movies, $6 Tuesdays, couldnt watch a better movie with that price. The inside was very clean and the seats are old just like a old theatre should be. Good stereo sound. They got my 5 s.

You get what you pay for. That simple. This theater is NOT for the snobby, name-brand, too good for me people. Go pretend at Americana or Century City theatres. This place is quaint and has character, with history behind it. I went there as kid and now go with my kids. Popcorn is fresh and the staff is mostly great.

Quiet little theater in a historic building. We took the kids on Christmas Day. Seats are fairly comfortable, bathrooms are small, but functional. If you join their making club before you go, print out the coupon they send you for free popcorn.
