The List of Lists: Movies

• Lagoon Cinema
  "Plays great titles and rarely experiences presentation problems, but if anyone wants to revolt against the bourgeois regime some call the concession stand, I'm in." --EMILY CONDON
• Uptown Theater
  "They just don't make 'em like this anymore. A big screen, a bright bulb, a balcony and just the right amount of mustiness. And damn, they play good movies!" --E.C.
• Riverview Theater
  "A cinephile's delight: an old-school second-run theater that is also home to film festivals and late-night movies." --SAILOR MARTIN
• Southdale
  "If you like your megaplexes slick and massive, AMC's 16-headed hydra in Edina is your place." --SIMON PETER GROEBNER
• Block E
  "A diamond in the rough. The projection and sound are pristine; the concession stand has hot dogs, and nobody yells when you put your feet up." --E.C.
• Heights Theater
  "Deliciously ornate, this restored gem sports a Wurlitzer organ and a 70 mm projector. Yet no one I know ever seems to go there." --E.C.
• St. Anthony Main
  "A serviceable if not remarkable option for University of Minnesota students." --E.C.
• Oak Street Cinema
  "Its future is eternally in question, but the no-frills Oak remains the sentimental favorite for devotees of classic movies." --S.P.G.
• Edina 4 Theater
  "The newest member of the Landmark family screens some of the best movies in town, but I often wonder if the employees are the only people there not carrying AARP cards." --E.C.
