We frequent Windchimes and love the old school video games. The popcorn is great and they sell Mr. Pibb!! Great for families and teenagers spending their parent's money.
This is a great place to take the kids. Instead of dropping $35 to see the latest Madagascar that you don't want to see anyways, you only have to spend $6 ($4.00 if you go on a Tuesday). My estimates are based on a family of 4 for an evening showing. It's also great if you missed a movie at the regular theater, but still want to see it on the big screen before it goes to DVD. Sometimes they even have the movie after it's gone to DVD. The popcorn here tastes better than the regular theaters. I think it's the old time popper that makes it taste so good. If you aren't trying to impress someone, this is a great place to go. I don't know if I'd take a first date here, they might think you're cheap. If they already know you are, then go for it.
Can't find a better dollar cinema! Don't expect stadium seats, but a clean theater. The latest movies are shown before they get out on DVD, so if you're willing to wait just a few weeks, you'll save a whole lot of money and enjoy the movie even more. Take advantage of their popcorn coupon--10 visits=free popcorn. When we ask, they even give us an extra empty bag so that we can share the popcorn. We go once a week to Windchimes even though we can well afford to go to other more expensive cinemas. In this economy, we know where we can save and still enjoy good entertainment.
plenty of free parking, good flicks, this place rocks
it is wonderful place to visit, i love the price in windchimes cinema8
Cool theater,,,I go there sometimes and happy with it...
I dont have to sit through crappy ads and reviews like other theaters..,,it goes right to the movie at showtime.
Some of the screens need to be replaced and the movies are held to long and played so many times the quality of the film could be in better condition. They need to pull those movies.
But over all,,I like it here...its old school fun.
They have a card that they punch if you go alot, 10 punches gives you a free popcorn...not much but a freebie non the less.
Eh, this place is cool. Sometimes if I feel cheap and theres something good here, then I come with my buddies or siblings and just watch a movie. This place is cool because there aren't much commercials, but the food there is the same price as AMC, so yeah. HintHint: ON TUESDAYS, TICKETS are $1.00 INSTEAD OF $1.50
I love people who dis saving money. Not all of us have trust funds and/or Phd.'s Some of us for whatever reason, need to save money. For those of you who don't lease a $60K vehicle, pull money out of your house for Plasma televisions and care more about your financial future, the dollar theatre is a great place. It means you can see many films for the price of one outing elsewhere. Also, the concession stand is pretty good. It might not be the Taj Mahal but there is good shopping around the area, it is safe and extremely reasonable for what you get. Consider this a constructive review.
The theater is old, but clean - even the bathrooms. The current owners do a great job of providing affordable entertainment. The concessions are fairly priced and the quality is better than the big name theaters. Additionally, the place is not all ghetto'd out - I've never had to ask someone to be quiet or get up and leave because a bunch of idiots were showing off to their friends. This is where I usually take my kids and the neighbor's kids for movies. Enjoy.
i don't watch movies in trashy places! i'm srry but its a dump! if money isn't a problem 4 u, i don't suggest being a victim to the itchy, dirty seats!
It is like a comfortable couch, you can pay for bright new polished furiture or live with a nice atmosphere. It is a family friendly place, not $20/burger high class dining.
I always take my girls out to the movies and this is the place to do it. The movies are out here so fast and living on a tight budget this works out really great for us.
