December 2018 - Took my son to a showing of Raiders of the Lost Ark at the local independent cinema. They often showed classics ranging from Spartacus to Once Upon a Time in the West to E.T.

SAVE FERRIS I don't think that I've ever been to a cinema that only had one screen. I know we used to have those when my folks were young, but even in the pre-multiplex days when I was still a kid those cinemas had subdivided their one big theatre... like, turn the balcony into a separate screen. So pretty much every cinema had 2-5 screens rather than one big one.

On May 18 this year I saw 2009's "Agora" (directed by Alejandro Amenábar) at a one-screen former "neighborhood" movie house, now independently operated, a few blocks from the state university.

The last movie I can remember seeing in a movie theater with only one screen was Air Force One in 1997. The movie theater that I saw it at went out of business many years ago and now the building has been turned into a senior center and senior home.

Must be the last time I went to the Silver Screen, the lovely little cinema in Dover where we used to live. It must have been in late 2013 since we moved away in early 2014. I think it was probably he Hobbit 2, which I didn't care for much though my sons liked it. it is a really nice cinema. When I used to take my sons to see all the new kids films, there would sometimes be two different films on the same day - the manager quite often let us see the second film for nothing. It has pictures of old film stars on the walls - Clark Gable, Audrey Hepburn, Charlie Chaplin etc.

Excluding multiplexes, then I'm back to The Abyss 1989 and a very local cinema with mono sound.

Even the local arthouse has a secondary auditorium that looks like a converted storage room. It has windows. Not the greatest environment to watch a movie but that's where they show the really deep cut movies. The last one auditorium theater I went to was a really old movie theater in a neighboring suburb, it was last September and I saw the Nun.

Apocalypse Now Redux (2001) at The Hi-Pointe Theatre (1922) I think I've only been there once, seeing Jaws 2 wayyyyyy back in '78. As far as the last time I saw a movie in a one-screen cinema, I'm thinking it had to have been at the St. Andrews dollar show in St. Charles, sometime back in the early 90s before they re-modeled into a multi-screen I guess. Maybe Rocky Horror at midnight?

Most recent one I can recall is 'Prince Caspian' (2008) at Little Arts Theater in Yellow Springs, Ohio. There might be a more recent one, though.

In 2005 and the movie might have been Batman Begins. I lived in a small town that had a once screen theater. There was a transparent curtain over the screen and when the movie started the curtain would part like it was an old timey stage play.

I'm pretty sure it would have been Team America: World Police at the Fain Theater in Livingston, TX. It closed not too long ago unfortunately. My cousin lives up in East Texas and we saw a few movies there before I got married. For a small town it had a pretty large screen. The sound system was out of date, I think it was just stereo (if i remember correctly), but the projectionist was a pro and the image was always in focus and looked good.
