CINEMA

Each month we offer films that take you back in time to a time and place that makes you feel good.  We offer award winning movies, westerns, sophisticated comedies, chick flicks and family films at The Retro.
  

     ***From our vaults, each Saturday, we select a feature film that offers special cinematic history and entertainment. Retro's own film historian offers fascinating background facts and trivia of the movie that will make it that much more special. 

      Those who love cinema, especially classic movies, will agree there is simply no place like Retro Cinema. North to South, East to West, there is nothing like it! Where else can you enjoy yesterday's film classics presented in a state-of-the-art facility wrapped in film memorabilia?  It's the melding of fun, history and coolness.  One visit and you'll agree: Retro Cinema is a destination; worthy of the trip. 

       Retro Cinema harkens back to theatres of yesterday, replete  with period cinema antiques, with period cinema antiques, movie posters and rare film stills. Even better is the ambiance inside the theatre. Some feel like they have traveled back in time to a studio's posh screening room where only the privileged few actors and directors were invited.  It's intimate yet spacious, showcasing America's classic films through state-of-the-art digital projection and 5.1 Dolby Surround Sound.
