Best place I've ever been. movie theater wise.. in addition this establishment is not only an inside theater but an outdoor drive in! Wow!

This place also has an amphitheater with live music in the summer. John Moore is the GOAT. What he has done for this theater and community is very appreciated and if you don't know- You should.

I was in Skow for my sons graduation and we were bored so he and his gf took me to the Strand to see the latest Pirates of the Caribbean flick. I was super stoked to sit in an actual balcony. It reminded me of being a kid. That alone was worth 25 bucks. The theater was clean and IMHO beautiful in its own way. Like a total throw back in time. NOw, I am not sure I will ever make it back to Skowhegan, but if I do and am bored, I will definitely visit Strand Cinema again.

No the food is not like that but it's still a gem in the middle of no where. When was the last time you've been to a drive-in?

The tickets are 6 bucks per person so bring your friends! The concession stand is like something trapped in a time capsule...penny candy and dollar hot dogs.etc. Bring a meal, a blanket and enjoy a little 1950s nostalgia!

What a unique and wonderful find!…read more I wanted to see a movie that came out less than two weeks ago, but when I searched showtimes my usual (closer to home) theater had no more showings. But Maine Film Center was listed with showtimes, so I decided to give this new place a try! And I'm so glad I did! The building and amenities are all new and stunning! The theater was small but had very comfortable seats (all with cup holders). The audio and visual quality was excellent too. I bought a small popcorn too and it was the best popcorn I've ever had at a movie theater! The popcorn kernels had great natural flavor and were enhanced only with a sprinkle of salt and the optional butter, which tasted like real melted butter. There was no taste of icky oils and powders like at other movie theaters. However, for those wanting a bolder flavor, there was an array of popcorn seasonings on the counter for customers to add to their popcorn if they so choose. The staff was also pleasant and helpful, helping me with my transactions, pointing me in the direction of restrooms, and answering any of my questions. I highly recommend the Maine Film Center and I look forward to going back!
