The Grand Cinema is a real gem in Tacoma. I don't know the history of the building but currently it houses at least four small theaters where current mature movies are shown. A lot of movie buffs like this place because in addition to current movies they also show vintage movies every once in a wh...

I got to watch a movie alone in the theater because I was the only one who bought a ticket for it that night. How cool a private viewing! Any other theater would have said it's not full enough and not show it. But they told me to enjoy!

This place is also amazing because they show films you won't...

I love places that give communities a sense of, well, place. The Grand Cinema fits the bill in downtown Tacoma. It shows an eclectic assortment of foreign, independent and local films, with a sprinkling of thoughtful commercial films shown, too. It also serves as a gathering place for community conv...

There is no more satisfaction than supporting a local theater. Don't get me wrong, I do love going to Regal and watching my favorite movie on the biggest screen but I like the part I play in my participation in something local.
All the volunteers who work at The Grand are most cheerful and friendly...

Cute and quaint theatre! We saw a show there this last weekend and it was great experience. I love the fact that they provide a parking area for theatre customers. The prices are competitive and it s great to support a local business!

This cinema offers interesting movies, but less so than in the past. Current popular selections are the norm, whereas not that many years ago, foreign productions held the screen more often than not. It's clientele are like me, of the older variety, so movies are more easily enjoyed without outburst...

My husband and I became members of The Grand Cinema a few years ago & have never regretted it. The GC is an independent & very unique in design, old/historical movie theatre, which specializes in showing artistic & foreign & independent films vs run-of-the-mill Top Action movies like Marvel films o...

Great movie theater! Friendly, inviting, and comfortable without the commercialism of the big movie complexes. They provide a good selection of interesting movies. I appreciate having the more varied and broader scope of movies to choose from.

My favorite movie theater in Tacoma. The theaters offer the quaint and slightly disheveled atmosphere one would expect from an indie establishment, with a volunteer staff that genuinely seem to care about the customer experience.

The grand is just what you want in an old style theater. They run great movies if you are into great movies. Their popcorn is the best. It's rewarding to patronize neighborhood cinemas. The Grand is volunteer-run and they do a great job. It's not like a mall theater. It's more like yesteryear and it...

My only dislike was the staff stopping the film to turn off assistive captioning. I think I was the only one at the screening who wanted the captions to remain, but they would have definitely helped me out so I could fully grasp the film's dialogue/soundtrack/etc. Now that I know they offer assistiv...
