Fantastic indie cinema, renovated, great sound system, great snacks and the best films.
Become a member. Free movies and popcorn. A film lovers dream. Great mix of small indies and docs you won't see elsewhere.Upvoted 2 weeks ago- Marissa CAugust 18, 2016Best place to catch an indie movie in the Mission. Also host great film fests with original 35mm films
Kendal CockrelAugust 9, 2018Nice little indie theater. They accept MoviePass but you can also purchase tickets online in advance!
Lindsay EyinkFebruary 28, 2014Watch and indie film and don't forget to put nutritional yeast on your pop corn because you're in San Francisco, hippie.- Yusun ChungApril 2, 2015I value their independent movie selection. It's the SF gem. Seating is odd tho, saving the best viewing area for the use if a hall way...
Arrive early to grab good seats at the Little Roxie. There are only a few seats available per row.
JennyMay 26, 2015On weekend nights, you can hear the music from the bar next door. On the plus side, really interesting movie selection. Weirdly, cash only for tickets but credit cards ok at concession stand
Dale TegmanJune 1, 2012One word: documentaries. Also worth going to their catered "Up The Oscars" event where the awards are presented on the big screen and costume contest winners get year passes. Owned by a cult.
The oldest continuously running movie theatre in the USA, since 1909. Home to many great film fests including the San Francisco Green Film Festival in 2014.
Matt LongstaffDecember 10, 2018No seat booking at Little Roxie so get there ahead of time so you aren't at the front staring directly up for 2+ hours
FramelineApril 28, 2011On June 19, 1979, Persistence of Vision put on the Third Annual San Francisco Gay Film and Video Festival at the Roxie Cinema. Soon after, Persistence of Vision changed its name and became Frameline.
I enjoy the screening of indie/documentary/other less widely-screened titles here
Martin BroadhurstNovember 26, 2013Great cinema. The large popcorn is enough to feed four normal people.- The theater is ok but they have great independent movies and shorts you can’t see elsewhere.
Don't forget: cash only at the door, credit cards/cash at the concession stand
Amanda PetersonMay 16, 2016They just added Visa and Mastercard for tickets *and* concessions so there's no more cash-only issues.
Brittany CooperNovember 23, 2010get here and go see Exit Through The Gift Shop before they stop showing it.
Candy JonesAugust 2, 2010Check out the *double seats* at the end of every other row...great for snuggling.
