Yelp.com Review - by Nick L.

5.0 of 5 stars. I don't have much to add over Ben M.'s review- the strong points of this place to him are the same that they are to me. I love the wooden armrests with slightly impractical cup holders carved in. I...

Yelp.com Review - by Ben M.

5.0 of 5 stars. There was a time when going to see a movie was a big deal, and going to the Carolina Theater brings that back to me. The lights on the archway that greets you as you head towards the movie theaters,...

Yelp.com Review - by William J.

4.0 of 5 stars. The Carolina Theatre is in many ways the boss of all the area indy theaters. This is the where the film festivals come, where the film buffs go, etc. If you're serious not only about independent...

Yelp.com Review - by Eric M.

4.0 of 5 stars. I had a chance to see one of my favorite songwriters of all time (Lou Reed) perform here a few months ago, and I have to say I loved the venue. The architecture is rich and although some of the...

Yelp.com Review - by Caroline Z.

5.0 of 5 stars. The Carolina Theatre is, in my opinion, the best place to see a movie in the Durham/Chapel Hill area, particularly if you're looking for art/independent films. Plus it's close to the good downtown...

The Carolina is the only place in durham to catch anything outside the top blockbusters. The film prints are always well cared for, the theatres are clean and comfortable, and as an added bonus buy a beer or a...

Can't beat the atmosphere! A wonderful Durham resource. by Kimberly N. at InsiderPages

Every year, I lose my husband to the horror film festival held at the Carolina Theater. He trots off with friends to see films old and new, foreign, weird, or just plain scary. In turn, my husband knows he'll...

Old-time movie fun!

This local theater has an old-school feeling to it. The beautiful historic building seems like a place that you see in movies. The movies shown here are usually not always the big blockbusters. But ...

A touch of nostalgia...

The Carolina Theater of Durham is one of my favorite places to see a movie. They usually have independent or obscure films that you don't find in the regular multiplex-type theater. Plus, it's a bea...

Independent Films Haven

The Carolina Theatre is located in the so-called downtown district of Durham. It's also one of the only places in town to see all those artsy, documentaries, "Yu-ro-peein" (just kidding) and foreign ...

Fun theater

A very neat old building, with some neat "old style" architecture inside. This theater plays a lot of non-mainstream films, from simple non-hits to indie and foreign cinema. Your only option in Durham...

Old-fashioned grandeur.

Carolina Theatre - A great venue for live music, comedy & theatre and movies too!

You can't go wrong here! This is an historic, refurbished traditional theatre that pulls in some really awesome acts at a pretty reasonable price. You can see what is going on now at http://www.ca...

Disappointing

As a theater, Carolina Theater fails miserably. The whole point of a theater is to view entertainment. If you can't see the entertainment, the whole experience is ruined. The entire time I was there, I could...

Great venue for films worth watching

Break free from the worthless crap being fed to you by the suits in the movie industry. Great selection of films. Reasonably priced concessions. Beer and Wine available. Finish a romantic evening near the...

Best Place in NC for Film Festivals!!!

Can one theatre dominate an entire state in terms of film festivals? Looks like the Carolina Theatre stands on the shoulders of even the best of 'em, bar none. Gay and Lesbian, Jewish, Horror, Fantasy,...
