Lisa Grimm: Another great indie theater in Minneapolis. I don't love the location or the theater, but film selection can't be beat.
Stephen Koontz: The better films are shown here. The venue isn't very good, though. Luckily it's location makes up for that
Macey Meyer: The few times I've been here it hasn't been very busy but this is such an Uptown Treasure, I would hate to see it close. Go check it out for Independent and international films. It's great!!

Movie Theater · Longfellow · 13 tips and reviews
MPLSco: MPLS' premiere independently owned and operated revival theater. Also a great venue to book your own music, comedy, or film show.
Theresa Kay: Trash Film Debauchery screens movies the fourth Wednesday of every month!
Hot Wings: Always a great experience: old classics, new independent films. Classic sodas or fancy organics. Delicious popcorn with either butter or weird seasonings. Staff are always friendly.

Melissa Hansen: Take in a double feature on a Tuesday- all tickets $2! You will not be alone between films.
Ellery Luse: Just over the river from St. Paul. They play a wide variety of films, not just your blockbusters. Read more.
City Pages: Voted Best Movie Theater by City Pages in 2010. No one can believe regular tickets are still only $2 for the 2nd run of blockbusters, smaller Hollywood efforts, and the occasional documentary.
