Hello! Going to stay for the week with some family in south Florida. I’m gonna want to go see a movie or two while I’m in town and wondering what the best regal theater to go to is. They live closer to the Davie/plantation/sunrise area, but I would be willing to drive to Fort Lauderdale if needed. Basically willing to go anywhere from the Davie/Sunrise/Plantation/Fort Lauderdale/Dania Beach/Hollywood area. Thanks!

Curious as to what places people like catching movies at. I’ve found most of the AMC and Regals to be pretty run down except the one at Dania Pointe which is fine but kinda lacking personality.

Our goto is currently the Cinemark Palace 20. I haven’t tried the other ones yet, and mean to, but really like heading up to this place. I live just off 95 so it’s about a 20 minute drive in total, so not really any worse than going downtown. I think it’s an ace building, always a really good experience there. Like most people these days I have a big TV and pretty loud setup, but have caught a bunch of stuff here this summer.

We used to go to Paragon Ridge in Davie, the loveseat setup there is really nice and when we went it was only $5 for those seats on Tuesdays. That didn’t last sadly, it was a great deal though.

I dig that the Classic Gateway exists, will usually go there for Popcorn Frights screenings but not regular movies (they’re not doing them anymore though, I assume just Savor Cinema which I like for those kinds of things too except for the weird angle the chairs all face). I went to a Nightmare on Elm St III screening at Movies of Lake Worth a few years ago, and that has similar vibes… it’s great that these independent movie houses are still around.

I love that we have a real deal 15/70 IMAX setup on our doorsteps, the size of the place literally overwhelms my senses so I don’t go often but it’s such an experience for the right movie.

RIP the Thunderbird Drive In at the swap shop, I always meant to hit it up but I was too late.
