We watched The Hateful Eight here in glorious Ultra Panavision 70mm. It was AMAZING! The superior quality of 70mm film is apparent. The atmosphere of the theater makes it an engaging movie going experience. Like a giant living room full of friends and family.
Buy tickets online and don't get there to a sold out show.
I never wanted to go here for some reason. When we went, I had the best time. The manager we chatted with was more then friendly. He told us all about the different membership packages we could get!
Absolutely go to B-movie Bingo. You will regret not going. Its an amazing amount of fun. But be warned: it is interacive. Stay away if your an old curmudgeon who doesnt like people talking during a movie.
Beautiful independent theater that shows great films, hosts great film festivals and supports the filmmaking community in Portland. The have delicious food and beer inside and the folks that work there are the best.
For old school amazing cool
This is the spot
Wonderful movie Palace, you can see films here you won't see at your mall theater. They can still show FILM! Cool concessions.
Beautiful theater. Loved being able to order food and drinks to have while watching the movie as well
If you re visiting the area, I recommend go here. Beautiful architecture
Very cool piece of Portland history with ample updated seating and sound system. A great place to see the latest Hollywood dreck or something out of the box. No matter what your style, you won't be disappointed.
My absolute favorite theater, the Hollywood, has a unique decor, mixed with an eclectic selection of films to satisfy any film connoisseur. The movies range from black and right classics to modern documentaries and films. They're also one of the few theatre's still showing 70mm films. Just make sure you purchase tickets ahead of time and arrive early as seats fill up quickly.
On top of that, the beer selection is pretty good and the Pie Hole, a hole in the wall to the neighboring pizza parlor, is the icing on the cake.
I can't recommend this place enough.
A good way to filter out miserable people from your life is if they have anything bad to say about this theater. You d have to be pretty ignorant to not see how much effort is being put into every facet of this establishment. I bought a membership after one show. They somehow find the best 70mm prints out there. They have a theater organ which is like nothing you ve ever heard before. Snacks and beer are great. The clientele are real movie lovers, so while you re certain to hear laughs, you re never going to deal with rude idiots because they will kick your ass out.
Great place to see a movie. Good ambiance and original theatre feel.
Beautiful old Hollywood Theater. Landmark Theater anchoring the Hollywood area of Portland. Inside is clean. Bathrooms are clean. And popcorn is not that expensive.
Theater tends to run older films and does many other types of educational programs.
One of those last holdouts of Portland authenticity. Affordable and unique movies. Contributes to the local culture without being yet an other micro brew.
Always enjoy this wonderful theatre and they people who work here!
Watched the Hateful 8 in 70mm the intended format. Was quite the experience. Amazing architecture. If you love movies. Go here.
It is a classic old theatre with wonderful people running the concessions. The theatre is well maintained, clean and visually beautiful. They offer non-mainstream art films and documentaries. The seats are comfortable with first class legroom.
Amazing ambiance, very comfortable seating, and the best freaking popcorn EVER!
Good pizza and beer, good movie selections and relatively cheap tickets. Fun events as well.
Wonderful that they offer films accompanied by a live organ score.
Another awesome evening at the best theater in PDX.
Saw one of my favorite movies here on the big screen. A classic theater playing classic movies in a classic way. Love it
This is the best theater in Portland. Make sure to keep an eye out for 70mm screenings.
Awesome theater! I love watching movies in 35 and 70mm!!
B-movie bingo was great! Looking forward to next time.
Absolutely best nostalgic place to watch a movie in Portland! Plus best food & beverage availability, for very reasonable prices! Additionally offers membership packages that help preserve the Hollywood area history, while offering its members special discounts & access to member viewing opportunities!
And the view of exterior is even better at night, when all the lighting is on!
Great staff and movie showings! Tickets and concessions are very reasonable compared to franchised theaters. This is our favorite theater in Portland!
my wife and I love this theatre. Beautifully decorated and maintained. Very good prices and friendly staff. Tasty popcorn too!
Breathtaking and heartstealing. Excellent movie experience ever!
Great old movie palace that is a non-profit and the center of a great neighborhood. Independent, local, art, and foreign films for fairly affordable prices in a striking old building.
I love the prices and that the upstairs windows open!
Wonderful neighborhood theater to support! I'd give this theater 5 stars if the sound was better, but I find that it's slightly echo-y making it somewhat hard to hear often. They re-did the theater a few years back with all new seats and I think sound system, but I still find it difficult to hear sometimes. Good movies. One problem is that folks will arrive early and save multiple seats so finding a seat is often a problem.
Grew up viewing movies in this historic Portland fixture, super happy they have not turned into condos.
The best movies, great deals for members but super reasonable for non-members. Just the best!
One of the best theatres in the city. Lots of unique programming
There's a lot of theaters in Portland that show limited-run and foreign films. This one is by far the best. The best experience I've ever had in a theater was coming here and seeing Faust played with music from a live ensemble. Highly recommended.
I cannot recommend The Hollywood Theater enough. Special events, themed showings, vintage movies, q&a events, and so much more. The inside is like stepping into a museum, and the following is knowledgable and engaged. They have drinks and food available from other vendors, and popcorn, candy, and soda available through their own concessions. Go. Really. You won't regret it.
Excellent food and drink choices along with some really good movie selections.
This theater is dedicated to movie lovers. Not only is it the only theater in Portland to show 70mm screenings, but it also has a great selection of beer and other beverages. Popcorn is reasonably priced and delicious, with nutritional yeast as topping. Why would you go anywhere else?
This place rocks! They screen interesting films (sometimes in interesting formats!), serve the community, and serve great beer and pizza. It's also across the street from a nice wine bar, so you can chat about the film you just watched
Just the best place to see movie in Portland. Also really good popcorn.
Movies you won't see anywhere else in an awesome old theater.
Classic old timey theater. Offers some wonderful unique viewing options.
One of my fav places in Portland! Beautiful but comfortable, friendly staff, awesome films and events.
Really wonderful classic historic theater. Great prices in concessions and tickets. You can even get pizza!
Let's see... long lines and ridiculous ticket prices in big-box theaters... OR short, speedy lines, local craft beer and cider on tap, pizza, nutritional yeast for your popcorn AND supporting iconic places like this Hollywood gem?
I love the Hollywood Theater! They are such a fantastic part of our arts community in Portland.
My favorite movie theatre in Portland! From B-Movie bingo to the latest Hollywood drama, this theatre has it all. Not to mention amazing selection of food from traditional theatre snacks to sizzle pie pizza and beer in the lobby!
Beatiful neighborhood theater. I really love their EcoFilm Festival.
Love the films they show. Old movie houses, renovated, are great!
This is the best classic old theater in Portland. Great location and nice selection of second run classics. Beer and microbrews.
I went here to see 2001: A Space Odyssey. There is a lot of seating in the main theatre, the screen is quite large possibly larger than most regular theatres. The prices for concessions are reasonable. To add to it, this place is ran by volunteers. Definitely going to sign up as a member.
Looks very historical. I was there for an all staff meeting. I surely would plan on going to see a movie there.
Quirky building with comfortable seats, tables for drinks & munchies, minimal advance previews. Get tickets online if possible.
Cheap beer for for a theater. Little more for food options would be great.
Great theater, beautiful inside and out. Fantastic food and drinks, at good prices. This is what a movie theater should be like.
Fun place, really feels like something special. I saw Hateful Eight here, and it was packed. Good beers on tap, and the staff are very friendly.
Love this old theater. Affordable old and current movies. Great pizza and beer.
Hollywood theatre is great. The monthly Kung Fu Theatre is my favorite. Along with good pizza and good beer, this place is a win.
This is just hands-down one of the best places to go and watch a movie the staff is extremely friendly they re very helpful they had a decent snack bar and the prices cannot be beat it has a cozy comfy kind of old-school atmosphere that just makes it fun to go to the movies they only have one movie playing at a time but all the good ones eventually end up there
Came for the Collide-O-Scope event. Vintage theater with multiple venues for different films. Cool vibe and decent offering of concessions.
Best theater in town, they do a lot of interesting special events like 70mm showings of older movies as well.
Great theater with very good selection of movies and lots of events. I always feel like watching a movie there is a special occasion. Can't recommend it highly enough.
I've been going here for over 30 years, and they have only gotten better. Great eclectic selection of films, for every taste.
The atmosphere and selection of films is always the best here. Kung fu cinema is a must
Soft Paint Your Wagon here very enjoyable time. Nice microbrew selection and Salt & Straw
Old school theater in the heart of the Hollywood District. The organ is sometimes used during silent films ... it rocks. Don t miss the popcorn, some of the best around.
I originally had tickets to another theater in Portland for a 3d imax movie. I returned them because I thought it might be better to try out a theater with more local/historical flair. The Hollywood theater ended up being one of the most unique film experiences I've ever had. The popcorn was perfect. I highly recommend catching something here if you are visiting Portland and have time.
If you live in or around or are just visiting Portland the Hollywood Theater is an absolute must! They frequently have very interesting movies that you simply won't see in Big Chain theaters played in a classic movie theater environment. Also the popcorn and beer are very reasonably priced! For five bucks you can get a bag of buttered popcorn that would probably cost you $20 at a chain theater!
Historic, not for profit movie theater with unusual and intelligent films.
Always a great lineup of classic films! Last night was War of the World's (1953).
Its a good place to see offbeat movies and TV events. The theater has seen better days and it's a little run down, but the seats are comfy and food is priced well.
A lovingly restored iconic theater, the Hollywood is becoming more and more popular. As a member I get a small discount and help support at the same time.Voted best movie popcorn in Portland, they have food and drink as well as movie treats. I have seen some memorable films here that were unavailable elsewhere. Hollywood also partners with The Cascade Festival of African Films in February to show at least two films free of charge.
