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 or the Transformer series of action films. Their staff are mainly volunteers & it s obvious they like being there - they are invariably helpful & polite. Their popcorn is some of the best popcorn I ve ever tasted at any movie theatre, or anywhere else for that matter - it s always fresh & hot & they use real butter, vs that disgusting artificial yellow slime junk, you get at most commercial movie theatres. As members, we get a discount on all movies & popcorn, along with close-by parking, which is a nice trade-off for the annual membership fees. The GC is in downtown Tacoma, is easy to find & reminds me of an old, treasured relic from the past.
