For first-run, we have two "dollar theatres", where admission is either $3.00 or $5.50 for an evening show. For second-run, we have a $2 theatre. Our other first-run theatres charge between $7.25 and $8.00 admission. We have 95 screens within a ten-mile radius, according to Zap2it.com. When I started going to the movies (I'm not saying how long ago), there were only 21 screens, and it was possible for me, at times, to have seen every single movie that was showing.

Movies Showing in Tulsa I Wish to See (In Order)

If The Machinist was in Tulsa, it would probably top my list.

I did see a trailer for it when I watched Sideways, so I reckon it is on its way...

I have a bad feeling about Being Julia, but hopefully I am wrong.

Shalom, y'all!

I have to see it for Annette Bening's performance. I'm keeping my expectations down.

We are lucky to have a couple of cinemas in town, and several more an hour away, that show arty-farty stuff. I'd say half the movies at the Carousel are limited releases.

I understand that. I hear Bening is bril; it is only the film I am worried about.

I envy your situation, although Tulsa is not all that bad. We have one chain theater that devotes anywhere from two to six screens to limited-release films, and then we have an independent whose one screen always shows a film with an even more limited release. Sunday afternoons, as you have probably noticed, are saved for revivals.

It is not ideal, but it is certainly better than it could be.

But I am still a bit green...

Shalom, y'all!

Lucky you. New Orleans has *lost* about three dozen screens in the last five years. We basically have three multiplexes (showing the same movies) and one art-house. Guess I shouldn't complain, though; other parts of the state have it much, much worse.

I'm surprised a large city like Nawlins would go in that direction. I agree I'm lucky to live in an area with lots of artsy fartsy culture, but between Netflix and real life, I can't see all the movies I want to see.

I think it has something to do with the fact that:
1) There are a lot of other things to do here.
2) A large portion of the population is poor and it's a whole lot cheaper to watch DVDs at home than it is to take the family out to the theatre. (There are no bargain cinemas here.)

I would think that a place with a truly poor population would require alot of bargain cinemas.
