Movie theaters have changed a lot of over the past few decades. When I was a kid they was all about the movie. Concessions were simple with things like popcorn, soda pop, and a small selection of candies like Raisinets, malted milk balls, and Juju fruits. Now when going to a movie theater there is a virtual smorgasbord from pizza and candy, to popcorn and burgers. The opening commercials tend to be a little longer as well.
Here are 10 theaters across Kentucky that gives you a very intense viewing experience:
- Florence
Smithsonian The Rave Theater is a little more expensive, but it provides an amazing view of the movie, complete with surround sound. The snacks are also great and always fresh.
- Winchester
Wiki This rustic looking theater provides a vintage environment to catch the golden oldies in Winchester.
- Paducah
Pat Brackney Cinemark is one of 4 cinemas in Paducah, and though a bit pricy, provides a very comfortable environment with all your snacking favorites.
- Mount Sterling
Wiki Tenth Frame Cinemas makes one think of bowling, but it’s actually a great place to catch a movie in Mount Sterling. Buttery popcorn and the sodas just seem to taste better there.
- Manchester
Wiki The Foster Price Theater in Manchester has a somewhat regal name. Entering it won’t be a disappointment as your greeted with aromatic popcorn and sugary scents. The screens themselves are spotless and make you feel close up.
4-5. Lexington
Wiki The horse capital of Kentucky follows not far behind with 6 local theaters ranging in price, size, and style. Cinemark Fayette Mall offers a great environment and allows for shopping afterwards. The Carmike 10 is vintage, with pricing under $3 each for some showings.
1-3. Louisville
IMAX This city has the largest quantity of theaters in the state with 8 different ones varying in price and amenities. The Carmike Stonybrook 20 offers Louisville’s biggest IMAX, Cinemark Tinseltown offers a higher class venue, and Village 8 provides a more vintage environment for lower rates.
Kentucky doesn’t have an overabundance of move theaters across the state. The majority of our counties just have 1 Movie Theater, but a few have 2 or more. Louisville and Lexington have the biggest variety, but many of the more rural counties actually have a drive in theater instead of an indoor type. If you have a favored theater not on this list, please feel free to add it in comments.
