For few years now I am going sometimes to cinema that is part of the Europa Cinemas network.
It is partly run by my city and one of the university. It is quite cool to be able to watch some art films from around the world, documentaries but they are still showing the big American blockbusters.
They don’t sell popcorn or cola but they have craft beers on tap that you can take with you to the screening room - my French friend really like that part of the experience ;-)
The tickets are really affordable ~6-10€ but I usually spend bit more on the beer.
Reminds me of Christmas at my grandparents’. They lived in a small town (<5,000 people) in the rural Midwest. My family would wind up staying several days to appease our hosts, but my dad would frequently need a break after awhile, and he’d take my brother and I to the local theater on Main Street. I don’t know for sure, but it seems like it was likely an old vaudeville venue which had been converted to a movie theater at some point after construction.
