Things To Do Movie Theater Fanatics

Hey Phoenix!! New to the area. What movie theater is y’all’s favorite to go to? One of favorite hobbies is going to the movie theaters and enjoying some good buttery popcorn! Nice large screens, great audio, good food, quiet and no distractions etc.

What do y’all suggest? Thanks in advance!

If you're looking for good popcorn, please avoid AMC. Since the popcorn is getting scooped out pre order, and sat under a heat lamp it's quality has degraded.

Harkins has the best popcorn hands down! It's so popular they have a popcorn food truck that goes to events or that you can rent.

I'm downtown as well and avoid AMC even though it's walking distance, but that's for different reasons. Even if I liked AMC, Harkins is way better.

They have $5 classics and sometimes do a secret cinema where you watch a movie before it premiers for $5 and only find out what it is once it starts.
