actually that was part of the problem. The lobby was granted landmark status, but the owner went in and destroyed the staircases and other fixtures in the lobby, and was ordered to stop after the demolition took place…and i believe it’s been boarded up since. That happened i think when i was in high school which was 91-95 ish,

Im going to ask that the status of this theatre be changed to “closed”. The front is boarded up…the marquee is being used to advertise local businesses, and the north west film centers Portland international film festival blew through town and there were no screenings there.

Having recently moved to the portland area, i must say that i love the cinema 21!
I’ve seen the following movies here…

King of king: a fistful of quarters
Delirious
Blade runner: final cut (which was held over for a month)
What would jesus buy?
Because the bible told me so

Bewtween this theatre, the fox, and the hollywood, i can pretty much see every small release movie out there…although i wish they all played at the 21.

1st weekend shows are $4.00! shows before 6 are $6 and evening shows are 8. Refreshments are cheap. I get a GIANT soda for 2 bucks…and a king size pack of m and m’s for 1.75.

Coming from nyc going to a movie and getting a drink and candy for 7.75 warms my soul. I can take my girlfriend…and the whole kit and kaboodle costs less than a manhattan ticket.
