Wonderful people, wonderful place.Popcorn is the bomb dot com & I love when they show old movies.We hit The Munsters last halloween & I so hope they are open for showings again by October this year.This is one of the few independent theaters still around & you cannot go wrong with the great concessions, awesome prices, fantastic people & unbeatable charm.

Sweet spot

Joy Cinema is a fantastic little theater. Its not a multiplex with all the new hits, its not got fancy new chairs. What it has is charm. What it has is good deals on concessions. It has reasonable ticket prices. The employees and owners have always been wonderful. I try to go as often as possible. I also love that its just a local theater that shows good movies.

Definitely has the old school playhouse/theater feel (and smell, loved that!) The idea of a pub movie theatre is so amazing my girlfriend and I drove all the way from Tacoma to have a day trip that included you! Had a blast thank you so much.

The place is nice enough, but the owner is a horrible human being. I would not patronize this place again. Popcorn is extremely stale, too. He looks all nice on TV, but thats not the real person. If you like to overpay for gross popcorn and want to support a person who doesnt give a hoot about his customers, this is the place to go.

Kids & I like the cheap movie night. Great popcorn & drink special for family.

I love the Joy! It is really community oriented and a place for family fun...even for more adult fun on Weird Wednesdays...WHICH ARE FREE! The catch is you should buy some food or drink while watching, but with the reasonable prices how could you not?! Great place and great people. Thanks Joy for keeping the cinema spirit alive.

One of my favorite movie theaters! My bf and i found this place on a whim and have been going there ever since. We love the Monday discount movie night and especially the popcorn & drinks! We try to come a couple times a month. The owner is awesome and friendly. I will keep coming to Joy because I honestly want to support them. This is a lovely family owned theater and we will keep coming back!

One of our favorite spots to go for a date night. Admission is about $6, $7 for 3D movies. The concession stand offers popcorn (very reasonably priced!), soft drinks, wine, pizza, hot dogs and other snacks. Shows both contemporary movies (we saw Bohemian Rhapsody there) and classics (Hitchcocks Strangers on A Train), old horror movies on Weird Wednesdays. Most definitely NOT your gargantuan and overpriced cinema complex with their overpriced concession selections.

Very fun place to check out the movies you missed before. Super nice service. Good to great treats.

Last night I was on a date with my fiance and we found this theater. The owner was very friendly. The food and drinks were good. But we loved the classic movie atmosphere. This was by far the coolest place to watch the new Godzilla King of Monsters. I cant wait to see whats playing in October!

The Tigard Joy is a landmark for a reason. Its amazing. The owners are super friendly and really care about the experience of going to the movies. The walls are covered in classic movie posters, and the ad part of the movies is combined with quirky slideshows and music. With beer and cider on tap, pizza, hot dogs, and strangely good pop corn (I didnt know there was a difference but there is), the whole movie experience becomes an event. Not to mention the Monster Movie days every week, and regular movie festivals!

Fun place to grab a movie you missed in the theaters. Reasonably priced and well run.

Go to the Weird Wednesday. It doesnt start till 9 so even from the city its an easy drive. The guys who run it are obviously passionate about it and youll see films youd never see.. plus its FREE, they serve decent beer and food and what else are you doing on a Wednesday night? Highlights would include the usual stand up bit pre show and a movie that included dinosaurs, robots, mermaids and awesome Russian to English dubbing.

We love this historic theater for its lower prices which make it family friendly and love the runs is older movies

A wonderful cinematic experience. Great for date nights.

Cozy little theater - somewhat run down, but the ticket prices cant be beat. Employees are nice, but the seats have lost most of their cushion and the floor is sticky. Good for a lark

My favorite cinema!! Weird Wednesdays are so much fun(:The staff are extremely friendly, too.I love coming here.

Great experience! Saw a 3 D film and the projection was absolutely perfect! Perfect focus, perfect convergence, very uniform luminance. Excellent fidelity sound system. Totally uncrowded auditorium. Very reasonably priced concessions and warm, kind, and friendly service. It deserves way more business than it gets.

Awesome old school theater! Super low prices. Clean bathrooms. Friendly service. Love this place.

Love this little cinema. Not a state of the art facility, but offers a better experience. The old time theater feel, you get a rush of nostalgia as soon as you walk through the front door. With inexpensive movie tickets, smells of popcorn in the air, concessions full of candy, soda & beer on tap, and a extremely humble and friendly owner excited to offer a fantastic evening at his families theater, I couldnt imagine a better place to enjoy a movie night with my partner

Love this place! This is the way to take in a movie.... two ppl....two awsome hot dogs...large popcorn and 2 drinks for $20!!

My favorite place for 2nd run movies. I just watched froze 2 wks ago. It was in movie theaters not that long ago

This place is the best, great prices on recent releases, more than reasonable concession prices, and fun cult movies on Wednesdays and other special festivals. Jeff and staff are friendly and professional.

Great little cinema. Cheap prices, good selection of food, friendly owners. The picture/sound quality is surprisingly good for an independent theater -- they can even do 3D. I got popcorn, soda, and 3d ticket for what Id pay for just the 3d ticket elsewhere. Next time Ill try their nachos and cider!

Every time I go there its a joyous occasion and a great movie. No need to go downtown for a great movie and a slice of pizza n beer or nachos. The best part is I live so close, its a 20 minute walk to the Joy Theater and have seen so many classics there. Its my #1 place to chill out and forget about everything for a few hours. I highly recommend this place for a superb getaway. Oh ya, I cant forget Weird Wednesdays and old horror classics. I saw The Werewolf Meets Frankenstein and The Munsters movie and The Brides of Dracula plus 2 Godzilla movies!Do not change one bit bcz you guys rock!!

I love the joy. Great food and beer selection for the price. Cool atmosphere in the lobby. The absolute best popcorn. Unfortunately it is probably suffering from smaller revenue streams because it could really use a new sound system, some of the speakers are blown. This is something Im sure the manager will fix soon though. The bigger problem is the seats. I have to get up once or twice during a movie because the seats are so uncomfortable.

Great place to see movies. I dont go here a lot but every time I do its always a nice experience.

Jeff Martin, the owner, is the nicest guy youll ever meet and hes a reel movie buff. (See what I did there?) We love to support the Joy Cinema. You cant beat the prices and we love local small businesses. Go to the Joy, you wont regret it.

Best theater I’ve ever been to clean bathrooms and affordable beer/popcorn

First time. Great place to see a film. Friendly service & reasonably priced. I like to support local businesses.

Absolutely outstanding classic theatre featuring great prices and a good selection of craft and domestic beers (Im looking at you Pabst tall boy). Also, be sure to go to at least one FREE weird Wednesday showing! Ive been hooked since my first time! At last, a reason to have hope mid way through the week.

Old theater with basic audio and concessions, but that is more than made up for with the awesome movies and personable staff.Also, weird movie Wednesday is a must do at least once. What an experience those are!!!

Such a wonderful experience, thank you so much for the incredible and unique evening!

This is what we of the few second second run theaters left. Its a nice place with nice staff. The concessions are good, but remember that theyre quite strict about not bringing in outside food and drink. Parking can be an issue, but youre at least getting a clean theater and great prices.

Great prices for tickets and delicious food and beer and wine. Highly recommend this place, the staff is always attentive and wonderful.

Best $2 movie Ive ever seen!

Its a nice local second run theater. The seats could be more comfortable but I still like it

Great local cinema with quirky weekly events! A few of the seats are broken, but everything else about the place is wonderful. Dont forget to stock up on drinks and snacks. Concessions are what keep this place out of the hands of places like Cinemark and Regal!

FMily friendly classic cinema that wont crack your bank account. Frien ly staff. Clean common areas. Overall pleased despite some broken chairs.

Old independent theater. Great prices, good specials, and friendly service, but the seats are showing their age. Get there a few minutes early to find decent seats.

Great place to see second run movies.

We need to support these theater! Its economical for a family to attend and not spend $$$$. Great staff and selection

I love this movie theater. no gilts or glam here just a large screen and the best crunchiest popcorn around. I seriously go for the popcorn and I always get a beer and raisents and its like 9 bucks. You cannot beat the prices and the owner is so sweet

The people running the place are very nice, but unfortunately the place has some funky smells, some fresh and some old that give my kids a headache after seeing movies there on two separate occasions, we wont be going back, its not worth it.

Just saw the free Wednesday night movie. It was a blast. Old horror flicks on a big screen. Thank you!

Just a fun place to watch great movies,had a beer and a hotdog $5.00 admission$5.00 ! Awesome John Wick 3

Great hidden find in Tigard, with an owner deeply connected to his customers. And come on, 2-words, Weird Wednesday...

Nice theater! Low cost tickets, large single screen, comfortable seats, delicious pizza by the slice, soda and popcorn

Great price and super friendly staff! The only downside was the sound system wasnt great. I would definitely go back though!

I like this place because its one of the few independent movie theaters still left, so theyre still able to have fun with it. And they still had the movie I wanted to see by the time that I had time to put it in my schedule to go. Took the kids and we all got snacks and it was less than 30 bucks total.

Great place for what it is. Budget family place, nice owners, and a fun way to watch some retro films. Good beer prices. Be sure and support them by buying consessions, since the movies are nearly free.

We love going to the you cinema. They have a good mix between current films and old-timey-classics.The prices are beyond reasonable and the snacks/popcorn is delicious.

The Joy is my favorite theater in Portland! (shhh, I know its in Tigard) Jeff Punk Rock Martin is a gosh-dang treasure. I hope we never lose this magical place. Cheap movies, cheap concessions, FREE Weird Wednesdays! Its just so charming and wonderful!

Chairs might need a little work, but still a good theatre experience.

Fairly cheap and the popcorn is really good, its also a cheaper alternative for watching movies that have been in theaters for a while but u never got to see.

Great value 2nd run theater plus a cool grindhouse vibe. I like to catch an oddball Weird Wendsday every now and then. Jeff always makes it fun. Thank you!

For how old this theatre is... Its wonderful! Mondays even cheaper movies at $2/3 a ticket! Check there website to see whats showing. They play older movies which is awesome!

Owners are amazing! Had a group on and they were so gracious. Tipped well, enjoyed the movie, and my kids liked the relaxed atmosphere. However there was one guy who decided you should not cheer. So some tension with older adults alone if you have children. However owners love kids and have a familys interest and heart!

Had a great time here. Prices were extremely reasonable, concessions were good, and the theater was clean and comfortable. We’ll definitely be back.

Cool second run theater that also runs older movies, horror movies and all sorts of stuff. Decent prices and a very friendly staff. Support your local small businesses, folks! They do serve pizza and beer here as well.

Fun theater to take you back in time.

Great movies good beer and pizza

Not a kid friendly place. The bathrooms are covered with inappropriate photos. The pop corn is okay. Not typical movie theater popcorn and the seats are TERRIBLE!

The seats were a bit small, but the staff was nice, it was aesthetically pleasing, comfortable temperature and the pizza was great

I will forever love this place as a weird little theater joint with alot of heart. Go to weird wednesday for the rest of your life.

We came in there a few weeks ago to see jaws. I was very surprised at low price the concessions are and the good size beer selections. For an older theater the screen is in great condition and so are the seats.

Fun little theater with one movie at a time. Plays older movies.

Such a great theater! The staff are super friendly, and the popcorn is super fresh and delicious.

Great fun being around film buffs that know more about quirky movies than the average movie goer. This place is a gem. Special guests on weird Wednesday sometimes. Film makers and podcasters.Jeff Punk Rock Martin is a great host.

Very friendly owner and staff. Reasonable prices for beer. Pizza was good - but $3 would be a better price. Popcorn was great. Movie theatre is huge. Well be back

Retro cinema...happens to have very comfortable seating

I love this place!!! Wednesday movie night is a must for any horror/strange movie lover. Im so glad someone transformed this place and the nachos are literally addicting. I may need rehab, seriously.

Best local theater around that love to take care of their customers. 2nd and classic films, and of course Weird Wednesdays.

Great deal and a great night! The food is well priced and tasty, come for weird Wednesday for a free terrible movie!

For the price its hard to beat.. weird Wednesday is a must if youre into cult classics like myself. Once asked the owner about getting Dawn Of The Dead, the original. If the HOLLYWOOD THEATER in PORTLAND can get such films why not the Joy? Friendly staff. The actual theater could use some updating but more places like this need to exist in the burbs!

Great venue . Monday night movie $2.00 and $5.00 for a hot dog and drink. Great evening.

Extremely low prices and great food/drink deals. Always friendly and has a great old fashioned feel.

Cheap second run movies are nice. The theater itself has seen some better days. Some seats are broken.

Great place. No, you cant bring in your water bottle or snacks. (Someone gave a crappy review because they wouldnt let her bring it in.) But its a family run business, and they cant stay open without their concession stand. Ive seen new movies and older movies there. They even had The Princess Bride!! I love it. Cant beat the prices. Cant beat the staff and service. (This phone wont let me change my name. Im not my son. LOL)

The best experience that weve had in a movie theater. Took us back in time while watching a recent movie

No you dont get the latest movies and you dont get a large selection of movies each time you go but what you do get for $1-2 on Mondays and $5-6 every other day, is a theater thats not jammed with people on Friday night a good movie experience and seats that desperately need some new cushions. just find out whats playing there and if you want to see it in the theater go for it its worth it and they have the most comfortable 3D glasses Ive tried yet Ive done both Regal and Cinetopia. If they would put some good cushioning on their seats I would give them 5 stars. For now just bring your own cushion or pillow to sit on and youll be fine. I just watched Ready Player One in 3D a two-and-a-half-hour movie, for $6, and I needed to shift around in my seat, but it was a good experience. Not filthy and friendly staff.

Love this small independent theater!

Nice small fair priced theatre. It is simple and I like this place.

Nice spot for an expensive movie. These places are rare, please treat them nice so they stick around.

Hands down my favorite theater!!

Wonderful place for a quick, affordable outing. Cheap (in a good way)and wide variety of snacks and libations, so absolutley NO reason to sneak stuff in. If you go, support the business. Its one of a kind out here in Tigard.

Absolutely love The Joy. I never go to the movies because I fall asleep and its too expensive. But not here..I even buy popcorn, candy and drinks with the tickets and its affordable. Also its just a cute theatre.

Are you kidding me this place is awesome. A blast from the past with great beers and pizza playing all ages of movies! The staff is great!

A wonderful piece of old Portland! The Joy Cinema hosts cheap movies and even free movies on Wednesday nights. Weird Wednesday is an event I look forward to, especially in the hot summer months. Cool decor, cool movies, cool owners.

A great theater and an awesome Monday deal on admission.Concessions are comparable to other theaters.

Great place for a family movie outing!

Pretty run down, but it was cheap. Biggest complaint was the sticky floor. They had beer and wine, soda and candy as well as popcorn. Movie started quite late to accommodate for late arrivals. Will probably go back since it was so cheap, buy they are second run movies.

This theater is old and improving. Every time I go (only a few times) the place looks better each time, the popcorn got better, however their seats are very uncomfortable. I do support local business and I enjoy their $1 Monday! :) I will continue to support them. Their menu items are growing as well. And their popcorn doesnt cost a fortune. So I recommend a movie from there. Enjoy!

Good popcorn, nice people, good price.

Joy Cinema is a gem, a family friendly second run cinema tucked away in Tigard. Beer, 3D, and monster movies every Wednesday.

Took my partner out on a date on Halloween .. we watched hocus pocus! it was the best!

The staff is wonderful, the theater is wonderful and the food is great. Toss in the unbeatable price and why would you not come here on the reg. Jeff is awesome and this place is the movie theater from your childhood. Go there, love it and bring your friends and family.

I always like going to the Joy. Cheaper tickets; some regular, some 3D movies; and comfy-enough seats. The concessions are whats keeping them in business, so when they say no outside food or drink, they mean it.

Great place to take the family for value priced movies including 3D. Prices for all things are much less expensive than the usual movie houses. Great locally owned business that could use the local support. We will go back!
