The Loft Cinema

The Loft is a two-story theater known for showing foreign and independent films. Ticket prices are affordable and student discounts are given with a valid student ID card. Movies are usually shown from 12 noon until about 9 in the evening. This place is a must do if you are into foreign films. The only drawback is that it is a old theater and as a result, seats are torn. more

This is, I believe, the only locally owned Cinema in Tucson. I also believe it is run by the Tucson Film Foundation. Anyway, they are a great theater that features independent films. They also have several special events a year-sing-a-long movies, children's movie series during the summer, Rocky Horror Picture shows and currently they are running Cult Classics every Friday and Saturday night. It was super cool to be able to see movies from the 80s like "Goonies" and "The BIg Lebowski" on the big screen if you missed them when they originally came out. There are actually two theaters there, a large on downstairs and "The Loft" upstairs, which is smaller but has a great retro feel. There is even two sofas in the very front of that theatre for the public to sit in. Fun to be somewhere that is not so commercial and shows interesting films that I doubt you will be able to find elsewhere. Check it out! more
