Wonderful theater. They are taking the COVID-19 protocols seriously, and it feels as tidy and safe as is possible for a public place. Tasty popcorn, and delightful Italian sodas. I always look forward to coming back.

Salem is lucky to have an experience like this. This area of town is offering so much! Salem Cinema, The barrel and Keg, Broadway Coffee, The Dance Store, Northwest Hub Bicyles, Capitol City Barbell, Young At Art, The Underground Gym, La Vida Catrina (Organic!), Sparrow Furniture, Christos Pizzeria and Lounge- All of this within 1 block of Salem Cinema! Portland wishes it could be this cool! Salem Rocks and Salem Cinema rocks with a lot of amazing movies and class!

This hometown theater is truly a gem of Salem! They always play the more artsy movies and have the best popcorn and treats! They are closed right now for Covid, but are streaming movies online! We can’t wait for them to open back up!

Great movie theatre crises grow shows everything about this great lingered going here in the movie Im going back Im back every time I cancel did cant wait to go back cant wait King wait to go back.

Good three screen intimate Art House Theater. Comfortable seating (a bit worn). Great selection of films. Interesting unusual snacks. Reasonable prices. Take your mom.

Go support independent cinema. 2/3 of The theatres are small and cozy. One is pretty big. They are all awesome and comfy. This place plays interesting and different movies. I love it. Foods good and the place is clean and tidy. Lobby is cool art deco.

An afternoon spent at Salem Cinema is always magical. The atmosphere is art deco comfort at its best and the service consistently outstanding. There is always a film that I must see, and the snack bar is surprisingly full of yummy treats. Excellent!

This is a very nice place to watch movies. The theaters are small but the seats were clean and comfortable. We watched Jo Jo Rabbit which is a very good movie except for some of the language. The premise behind the story is very good.

Remarkably clean for a movie theater and with friendly staff. Much more intimate than the theater chains around. Cheaper too! Would definitely choose this place over a commercial one if both were playing my movie of choice.

Such a neat experience. Very intimate and unique! Get there early though because seating is very limited.

Of course concessions is a bit pricey but they have a nice variety of food and snacks different from the normal regal cinema movie theater. Very nice

Great film. Not your typical run of the mill theater. They show independent films. Love it.

Hard pass....Ill stick to streaming....

Most people are used to large multiplexes with a dozen screens showing the newest releases, so to watch a lesser known film in a smaller theater with just a few people was an entirely different and delightful experience. The venue is classy and sophisticated without being pretentious, and I made a mental note that this would make a lovely date night destination, should I be fortunate enough to find myself a date.

The movie was great, but thats hardly under the theatres control. The rooms themselves were small, and the employees actually brought in seats for people who couldnt find two seats together.

Salem Cinema is my preferred movie theater. The movies I like, in a small venue, no or short lines, no adds and short previews. Nice treats too. Whats not to love

I rather enjoyed this quaint theatre. I liked that the theatre was small, made me feel like I was patronizing a mom and pop shop. The prices were right on point for a theater of this type. The concessions were less varied than other theaters in the area but that was okay for me.

Really good popcorn, only place that would play JoJo Rabbit.

Loved theirnpipcorn with nutritional yeast. Good movie too. Janis.

Its the best place in Salem to watch a good movie.

Linda Ronstadt movie brought me to tears. Popcorn and sodas were a little pricey. Had a great time with my daughter!

Salem Cinema never fails to make me happy. They dodge the cheap thrills and loud violence in favor of movies that are truly excellent. I dont go to movies often because of hearing issues, but when I go, I go to Salem Cinema most of the time.

1st time visitors, unique movie house, definitely will return, many thanks..

Very good movie (Little Women), nice theatre, and courteous and competent staff.

Cute place to see more artsy/independent movies.

The local art cinema. The only place in Salem to see indie films. Comfortable seats, good popcorn, and a selection of better than average sweets.

Love this theater, very classy and retro atmosphere, great service.

Salems little art house theater. They have a couple screens and show a lot of movies that arent considered mainstream. Support this theater, Salem!

Fun, been going for a long time.

A great group of theaters, showing great films you wouldnt normally get to see in a commercial theater.

I love being able to see non-mainstream movies, and the location is nice.

Great movies. Comfy seats. Good angles to view movies. Unique food and beverage offer.

I love this place, easy parking, nice people work there, clean. Most of the movies i see at this theatre.

The only place in Salem to see independent cinema. Thank you for this! The auditoriums are a nice size. The concession food is good and reasonably priced (for a movie theater). And before or after the movie there are a couple of cool places to eat and drink right across the street. Overall a great place.

BEST cozy movie THEATER in TOWN. I love going here to see movies! We see INDEPENDENT movies which are awesome. So glad its here. A treasure!! Go see a movie here!! Right across from great restaurant with food carts out back. Fish & chips before movie and popcorn during..A decadent treat!

This Theatre plays movies that are worth watching.

Had so much fun with a couple of friends. Went and saw award ceremony movie. Did not feel the same about movie but cinema was very nice

Clean, well maintained, comfortable seats.

Great films, intimate showing rooms, locally owned....support your locals!

Excellent neighborhood theater. With old times feeling

A great place to see the movies the larger cinemas wont show. Theyve got great concessions, and comfortable seating.

Great venue for alternative movies.

Love the atmosphere, popcorn and real butter.

Great place to escape for a couple of hours and watch some quality movies. Comfy seats, reasonable prices. Love the popcorn!

It is a small locally owned independent theater. Salem Cinema is very clean and has friendly staff. There is not a bad seat in the place. The movies they show are not main stream but a collection of indepedent foreign and domestic. If you are tired of the super hero, shoot em up, and sophomoric comedies then you should visit Salem Cinema for fresh original and interesting films. There are some films with subtitles. It is a wonderful intimate theater to enjoy the best in independent films.

Always a joy to see films here, especially independent and art films that arent shown in the big corporate theatres. Love supporting this local venue. Its always very clean, very accommodating, and wonderfully intimate. The prices are comparable, if not less expensive than others, which is a huge relief. My best film experiences have been at Salem Cinema--thank you for bringing award-winning art to the Salem area!

Theater has charm, is very clean, and staff are friendly.

Small theater where I can see the films I love

Love Salem Cinema! Always clean, good service, friendly! I also love that its not part of a big corporation. Feels safe and comfortable!

Salem is so lucky to have this little gem. Its so refreshing to have some variety. Salem Cinema shows all sorts of quirky, beautiful films unlike anything you could see in any other Salem theater. This theater is a center of art and culture in our town. The only drawback is that they show so many intriguing movies that its difficult to choose which to see first!

We went to see the Mr. Rodgers film and had a good experience. I love the Art Deco feel of the decor.

Nice little theater like to come here to watch movies that some other theaters do not show

Great art house. Plays art films. Great cookies. Salem film lovers would be lost without it.

Great cinema overall, but it was very difficult to focus on the movie at times due to the high volume level. Other reviews have said this cinema is mostly frequented by older residents, so that might account for the volume setting. The staff was very nice and the theatre was very clean and gorgeous! I however probably will not be going back due to sensory issues.

Great location, great cinema house classics. Some great cookies, chocolates to enjoy the movies with. Ill be sure to return when Im in town.

Wonderful 3-screen theater showing the small budget, foreign & art films you may not find @ larger chain theaters. Fantastic popcorn + snacks, too!

Got a crick in my neck fm sitting in couches under a guger screen.

The best movie theater in Salem, I love to come here to see the incredible, independent movies. My favorite so far is Maudie. Ill be coming here forever.

Salem Cinema has an excellent Social media presence.I communicated with them on Twitter about a film I wanted to see that they had not listed.Within a week they had arranged to have the film showing and they notified me via twitter.I was so thoroughly impressed with their response and their effort to bring the film to Salem.Thank you, Salem Cinema, for listening to your customers.

Nice small and hassle free theater. Shows independent movies and not the usual mainstream.

Wonderful theater with great popcorn! Met the owner who was very gracious. Thanks for a great date night!

We went for a matinee showing of Brooklyn. The location is in the outskirts of the downtown area but I was impressed that there was parking available behind the building. There are no long ticket lines but you do have to wait in the lobby so the ushers can. Lean the auditoriums. The cinema has 2 auditoriums and the are in good shape. The place uses digital projectors and high quality sound. The seats are comfortable too. The food prices and movie tickets were at a very reasonable price. The employees were friendly too.

This is my go to theater. Not only are they reasonable but they show movies that arent junk. The theater is clean, the staff is friendly and there is parking. The popcorn is great and you can get it your way! I love this theater.

Good movie, no beer.

I really enjoy this theater. Thank you for offering a different set of movies in a very comfortable theatre. Also, great cookies and popcorn!!!

They always show the BEST films. Staff is so friendly. Just wish they had wine.

Very art deco. Small, intimate. Loved the atmosphere

Great place, roomy.

Super super comfortable and the staff is so friendly

Great independent movie house. Nice theaters, comfortable seating, excellent selection of films. Caution, if you cant be quite this house is not for you. Serious presentation ethics. THANK YOU for caring about the viewing experience!

Fantastic....and some great movies coming, plus Joni Mitchell Honor evening!

Great place to get away for an afternoon.

Enjoyed two historical dramas: Favorites and Mary Queen of Scots.

Clean, nice size, friendly staff.

Lovely independent movie theatre with quality films and a delicious variety of snacks.

This beautiful little Theater is a hidden Salem Gem! It is clean, the Staff is wonderful, the sound isnt deafening, and the buttered popcorn is Tops! My husband and I are hooked! Thanks Salem Cinema!!!

Went here on a date night with my lovely wife. I was super excited to try it out. When I walked in the place seemed clean and not too crowded. I then walked up to their snack area which I found a be confusing and lacking a selection for my tastes. Once I choose my product and paid I was waiting there for about five minutes before I was told that I was supposed to grab my own treat out of the basket. There was no sign stating this so I kind of felt weird that the they assumed I knew this...lol other then that the place was nice and I enjoyed my movie.

Great movie theatre and good nosh.

The best theater in Salem! Always showing interesting different films a lot of Art and foreign films. The owner is fabulous as well:-)

So much fun! They show such interesting movies and the theater is always clean and comfortable. Great food as well.

Cozy, quaint, cute little theater with the vibe of an actual film enthusiasts decor and mood. Reasonable prices, smaller cinema thats a throwback to how things were. Will visit this theater preferably over a big chain any day.

Love Salem Cinema. Of course living in Silverton puts The Palace theatre right up there. But the Salem Cinema is easy to get to & park & shows great movies!!!!

Not my favorite theater but they do a nice job, very clean, good choices for refreshments, nice staff. I dont enjoy feeling yelled at to turn my phone off when it comes on the screen 8 separate times before the movie begins.

Local indie theater boasting a consistently good mix of movies, with a strong tilt toward arthouse, independent, and foreign films not shown elsewhere in Salem. (Save a trip to Portland for another weekend!) Nice concessions, friendly staff, easy parking, decent seating, great screens, minimal sound leakage. Whats not to love?

Its a little pretty cinema. It has everything you need

This was my 2nd time here and I have got to say that I really like this theater. They play independent movies mostly. Enjoyable atmosphere!

Going to this theater reminds me of my days at the University of Washington, going to the cinema in the U district. The owner makes superb choices in picking films to show. The concession stand is wonderful too: lots of great choices that you dont get at the ordinary movie theaters in town. Classy!

Locally owned and always a good experience at the cinema. They truly love film and appreciate their customers.

I love it here! Cheap tickets, independent flix, and great, fresh buttery popcorn seasoned with nutritional yeast. How can anything be better? Ill tell you how: the money you spend here, rather than at some Corporate-Cinema-Palace, stays in your community, as this Theatre is locally and independently owned and operated. Three cheers for Salem Cinema, the only art-house outside of Portland!

Its a great place to watch a movie. Comfortable seats, good sound, and great films. I especially like supporting a locally owned theater. The theater web site offers meaningful reviews and lots of other information to help you decide on a choice of top rated films. Its a feel good place!

A cozy small theatre that draws a mostly older crowd. Very comfortable seating and interesting selection of movies. Well be back!

Salem Cinema has the movies that you often wont see in mainstream theaters. Ive never been disappointed with the artistic, thoughtful and powerful selections. The atmosphere is comfortable and the coffee is great!

Cozy and a good lineup

I love this theatre, it has a great vintage look

LOVE Salem Cinema, great snacks and a wonderful atmosphere for viewing movies.

Always excellent movies.

Beautiful small independent theater; showing films the others dont. Great popcorn and friendly staff too.

Nice place to hang out with friends!

I came down from Portland to see Prospect and see Zeek Earl talk about his movie. Nice theater.

For the more unique movies! Comfortable seats and the chocolate truffles are to die for, so good.
