Portland Theater Listing
In the ever expanding list of things that makes Portland a vibrant and livable city, one is the sheer number of independently owned theaters that exist in and around the city. Many of these are second run theaters – showing movies that have already been in the bigger theaters. But some actually do first-run movies! More importantly, a large number of them play independent and limited run movies that would never been seen in the larger corporate owned theaters.
