This awesome guy gave us a tour of the entire theater, including up in the projection room, and it was really cool. I learned a TON about movie theaters! Afterward, we went downstairs to the lobby, which has been converted into a cafe, and had some AMAZING pizza! I'm not even a pizza fan, but this shit was off the chain -- thin-crust, artisanal-type foodie pizza. Y U M ! ! ! The woman who cooked it was super fucking cool, and the ambiance was nonpareil -- we sat at a table in what used to be the lobby of the theater, surrounded by old-timey movie paraphernalia and memorabilia. REALLY cool place, even if you're not a cinemaphile. These people were SO COOL!!!

The cons for me were the Pepsi products rather than coke (I need a fountain coke for the movies) and the movie theater itself. It was a bit stuffy and the lights weren't dimmed at all until about 15 minutes into the movie. It made it feel a bit odd. There were only 10 or so people in the theater.

It's one of a little over 300 drive-ins left in the U.S., and at 8,000 feet, it's the highest elevation drive-in theater in the country. The surrounding views are spectacular! We saw The Sheep Detectives, listening to it on 98.7 FM. The place was packed, and we had several wistful moments as we watched kids in pajamas snuggle into sleeping bags in the backs of SUVs. In full disclosure, I wore my jammies too. Even the food, while a tad pricey, was excellent in quality and taste. We sorta wish we could go back in time and bring our kids with us! We'll be back, though.

I would have given it a 4.8 but it would have only been one annoying downside. But I refuse to…read morediscriminate and drop a full star. I'd rather start with the positives. It's a small theater and makes it feel like family owned, not sure if it is though. But either way it makes you feel welcomed without the pressure. Prices are very reasonable, $20 for 2 medium sodas, small popcorn, and 2 tickets. Even though the popcorn was free, the prices are perfect for a date night. The theater itself is small but I love it. Makes it feels like a small town knows everyone size. From the lobby to the bathrooms to overall cleanliness I'd alone give it 5. And the one movie they show is helpful in deciding times. Plus the seats are wide enough that everyone can seat comfortable, though a tip would be to be aware you will sink in them lol. The only very short downside is upstairs you'll get employees walking and it casts shadows. So if your sitting in the very back, be prepared to notice the annoying shadows. Unless your the special person that can ignore them, they can distract from the movie. Would I recommend? Absolutely hands down. I don't know if I can "covert" back to the larger theaters. More than happy about this place. You have to go at least once to get a true movie theater experience.

I'm a history-buff, and I love that sort of thing, but I wish they would upgrade the seating to the more modern seats that now lay back a bit for comfort. The overstuffed red velvet chairs were quite comfortable, for stationary chairs, but there's no changing your position. And there's not quite enough foot-room for someone like me, 6'4" tall. The popcorn was fresh, buttered perfectly, and absolutely delicious! The staff was quite friendly, very nice, and the theater itself was very clean. Nice, well lit and with a clean men's restroom. I'm cold-natured, and the theater was not warm enough for me. I was OK with a big down jacket, but I loaned that to my lady friend to cover her legs, which were too cold. So I sat there and watched a movie, just a little bit uncomfortable because of the temperature. We are over 65, and they gave us a nice discount for being seniors! The feature film last night was Michael, the Michael Jackson story portrayed by Jaafar Jackson. It was very entertaining, and we got more than our moneys worth! The Gunnison - crested Butte area only has one Movie Theater, and I have to give them credit... It's a pretty darned good one! In spite of the things I critiqued it still gets my 5 stars because it was better than I guessed it would be. Just bring your jacket!
