Have been going since I was 8 years old. In response to Michelle, yes, the movie probably will flub more often than at the big theaters. They have the same movie projectors since they've opened....

This gem sparkles on Thayer St. A true escape during Wintersession Blues in snowwy Prov. They show great artsy flicks and watch out for their special midnight showings! Once they showed Reservoir Dogs.

Love, love, love the Avon. Love that hipsters worked here before anyone knew what a hipster was or that they were a special breed imported from Williamsberg. Love that the theater is art deco and sort...

I love this place I guess mainly for the fact that it's an excuse for me to go to Providence and see movies that Seekonk/New Bedford/Randolph do not normally have playing. Yes, the seats are...

An old time feel, complete with red velvet seats (albeit a tad uncomfortable) and a pretty front lobby, where the ticket seller will surely provide you with a crisp two dollar bill as change. The movies shown...

Lovely little Art Deco theater that dates back to 1938. It has been kept in good condition and now shows about three movies, usually of the more highbrow variety, every week. The theater space itself...

This theater has been a staple on the Eastside of Providence. Showing lots of limited run and indie films. Prices aren't too bad, but be prepared to have a struggle to find some parking. I spent many nights in...

One of two truly great theaters in Providence, the other being the Cable Car. The seats are exceptionally cramped... evidently the owner believes his customers to be mainly sardines... but the movies you see...

The Avon is another one of the great local theatres in Providence. It's old and it retains this feel with the intros played before the film. It's located conveniently on Thayer near the Brown campus. ...

Avon usually has a good selection of older movies. It has an old feel to it, as it was around since the first half of the 20th century. There is not that much to choose from at a given time, but the...
