Best little old theater in Portland! New comfy seats are killer and they serve beer and wine as well as the other classic movie snacks. Updates give you a comfy and high-tech modern viewing experience in an environment thats still classically historical.

Really cute theater, one screen and a charming classic vibe. Super reasonable pricing (breath of fresh air) and the seats were surprisingly comfortable and modern. They have a good beer selection as well. Definitely recommend!

Charming local theater. They have new seats (as of March). Excellent staff, good popcorn, solid beer selection. You can’t ask for much more in your local theater. If you haven’t been you’re missing out.

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS THEATER! Consistently great movie choices, good sound, digital projection, and the new comfy seats are awesome. Sure, it’s the same price as Lloyd Center, but they don’t bombard you with 30 minutes of obnoxiously loud ads before the screening! Heck, don’t tell them, but I’d pay a buck more just for that.

We absolutely love our neighborhood theater. They are cheaper than the big theaters and now with their new seats, it’s even more comfortable! They now over a few beers as well! Overall, definitely our favorite place to go see a movie with the family.

This theatre is a great place for date night or family night. Over the past couple of years theyve added wine and beer options and replaced all the seating. Great popcorn, and sometimes theres even pie!

I miss the classic old squeaky seats but the new ones are comfy & hygienic and they have cup holders for the tasty fair-priced beers.This spot is a sweet independent neighborhood spot without the sleazy corporate trappings. Thumbs up!

Ahhh!! Such a darling theater. If you want big recliner seats, this isn’t the space for you. But if you want an intimate old-school spot to catch up on movies, this is it. There’s only one theater and I think two movie times per day. Tuesdays are $5 tickets (!) and they have snacks as well as beer and cider on tap!! Excellent low-maintenance theater. Clean facilities. Very friendly staff. While you wait for the bathroom you can watch the movie through a large glass window (genius!).

Cute, charming, well priced and decent snacks. Like that they serve alcohol as well! The only negative is I expected Pennywise to be in the bathroom.... Creepy!

3 1/2 stars. Its a nice family-run place. Reasonable prices for admission and snack bar. There can be a line since its minimally staffed. Good projection and sound. No 3-D. Theatre was very cold when we saw a matinee in January. It could use some new paint and seat upgrades.

I love this theater! They just added new seats that are mega comfy, have big wide armrests two people can share, and lift up for cuddling up to a loved one. And they have beer and cider! Also right next to some great restaurants. See movies here!

Its hard to see past a raised back of a chair especially if you r 54 or under. The back rows were better before.Also the sounds is way to loud.

Review №30

This place is vintage! Really cool vibe because of how old school it is, friendly staff and best theater prices around for sure. Only reason I dont give 5 stars is because the seats are in desperate need of replacing. A lot of the seats are held together by duct tape. This is a old smaller theater so if you visit keep that in mind, but the 1960s vibe and the staff and the prices are awesome

Single screen movie theater in the heart of Sellwood. Recently replaced their seats. The screen isnt the biggest, but you cant beat the ticket price. And their popcorn is delicious!

Small intimate neighborhood theater new comfortable seats small selection of beers Fountain drinks and bottled soda everything is reasonably priced good deal for a Tuesday night date or just go to the movies

Review №34

Honestly, I don’t think that this is the type of theater that you would go out of your way to drive to. However, this theater is in my neighborhood and is also really easy to walk to and just see a movie. Do not go into this theater thinking that it will be like all other good old theaters, because this is basically just an old theater with a fine screen and fine sound. It’s nothing spectacular, but I still love it for what it is.

Review №35

Love this little gem in Westmoreland! I’ve been coming here my whole life and always have an enjoyable experience. Only complaint is the squeaky chairs, which can be distracting. Popcorn is fresh, drinks are cold and they play first run movies. Only one theater but that’s common for these little neighborhood theaters. Love the decor and the velvet curtains. As a child I’d go up to the bathrooms and view the movie from the vantage point - I thought I was super sneaky!

Neighborhood theater. A little run down, but cozy. They now serve beer. The popcorn is some of the best theater popcorn in town. They take credit cards now (use to be cash only). Friendly service.

Review №38

Wonderful old theatre with lots of personality! Chairs could use updating and a little maintenance. However, the prices are reasonable and the theatre harkens back to a time when going to the movies was an event. Treasure this neighborhood theatre. There arent many of them left.

Date night was a success. Beer, big popcorn and star wars was playing on the big screen. Yeah the place is a little run down but its affordable and the people who work there are really nice.

One of the great small theaters in Portland. Much cheaper than a big chain like Regal. Perfect if you dont need all the extra bells and whistles. Supports these small local theaters!

Great little theater! I love the atmosphere. It makes theater going feel hushed and exciting, to go here! And the folks who run it are really nice

Review №47

This place is amazing. Like walking back in time. Go for the $5 Tuesdays. Any movie seems a little better in a 100+ year old theater.

Review №48

Everything is good except for the fact that on most days they only show 1 movie the whole day but at different times.

Review №49

Had a rustic feel to it, as if time traveling back to the 60s. Love the decor and the ambiance. Two suggestions worth mentioning. First, there wasnt a cup holder for a drink on the seat, so either hold it or put it on the floor. The seats, however, are old but comfortable for 2 hours. Second, the stereo system can be adjusted to little lower. Too loud to the point that it was blurry to me.

The movie theater is old and gives a vintage vibe. There’s one screen and great quality. I’ve been several times and I love it!

Review №52

Moreland theatre is a classic old fashioned movie theatre. It has that...feel to it. That indescribable quality that makes it beyond just a building. Its the history here that makes it special.Its definitely not regal and we wouldnt have it any other way.

Review №53

Great little old theater. Does it have IMAX sound and Lay-Z-Boy recliners? No. But it doesnt have the $10-$12 ticket price tag or the $9 wine prices either. If you want to support a local business at an historic old theater, the Moreland Thetaer is a great choice in SE PDX.

Review №55

I love this little theater. It is a classic single-screen, and an amazing value. Adding beer sales recently was a great option. My only complaint is the seats. They are long overdue for replacement. They arent exactly uncomfortable, but the squeaking seats of restless kids or bathroom-breakers can be noticeable when crowded. Even so, it is a wonderful place.

1920s atmosphere. Military/Veteran discount. 1st run movies at lower prices. Not digital HD movies, but good.$5 Tuesdays. $5.50 any day for Veterans. Brand new updated seats!

Review №63

The seats are the only thing about the Moreland Theater that is uncomfortable, and those only mildly so. Otherwise, its like putting on your most comfortable old sweatshirt and watching great movies with a fantastic pint of cold beer. I hope to watch movies here until Im old and grey.

Comfortable and cozy theatre. Not part of a big chain, feels like a family run operation. Nostalgic and historical feel.

Review №69

Ive given this place a go a couple of times. Saw Guardians 2 and Wonder Woman and both times experienced a great showing and great customer service, and their prices are among the best in the metropolitan area.They could improve by hiring a janitor though, as the floor was sticky walking into the auditorium, and the bathroom was in need of some serious attention. Probably not a place to bring a date thats a clean freak.

Review №77

Great prices for tickets, snacks and beer! Seats are very old (springs sticking out, squeaky) but comfortable enough for a movie. Acoustics in the room are pretty poor and noises echo easily, but not that noticeable while the movie is loud!

Review №78

This is as Portland of a theater youll enjoy. A lot of character but the picture quality doesnt suffer. Watch the latest movie, singular, because there is only one screen but you can get some delicious caramel popcorn to munch on.

Review №79

I am very happy this place is in my neighborhood, it is refreshing to have the ability to see first run movies at an extremely reasonable price within walking distance of my house.The staff are very friendly, there are beer/cider/soda drink options and your standard movie theater munchies too. The place is pretty old so dont expect the comforts of a high-end megaplex, there are two different types of seats in the auditorium (old and older) and it can sometimes get pretty chilly inside so make sure you have a couple layers to ensure a comfortable experience.

Family run and very friendly, clean and nice. This is my theatre of choice. The ticket price is good and the popcorn is real.If its cold, be sure to bring a coat that will cover your buns, because many of the old fashioned seats have metal sides.

Ya know what, this place is awesome. Its not Cinetopia, nor is the price. This place made me want to go to the theater again. Cheap tickets, cheap beers, great staff.

A neighborhood theater that dates back to the days of silent movies.

Good neighborhood theatre. Beer and wine sold too. If you want drinks or popcorn, get there a little early because there can be a line, especially on Friday and Saturday.

This place is family friendly and affordable. Movies are current. A movie date cost me less than 20 bucks and that was with snacks as well as tickets. The place is clean, comfortable, as well as pleasant.

They play first run movies and that is great however the theater is a throwback to the 1940-1950 era. but they do serve beer and wine at a reasonable price and ticket prices are low

Fantastic old theater, only issue is that locals think its their home where they can chat through the movie. Lack of consideration for others.

Review №98

Came here to see Guardians of the Galaxy 2 on a Sunday night. Its a cute little neighborhood theatre with a single screen.The seats were not very comfortable. Not really sure about the reviews that talk about plush red seats. Maybe plush red back in the day, but now theyre just old and faded.Two tickets and a coke came to $18... which is cheap for a city theatre but still kind of overpriced for the experience.

Jo

Older theater with character and friendly staff. Good prices. Downside is the seats are old and if sitting near the back sometimes its hard to hear.
