Very cute, friendly staff, weird location, good theatre. Saw Hamnet here, guy working the counter warned me it would be a tear jerker, he was right. What I liked: -local theatre vibes, my favorite. Old movie posters and promotional things up on the walls felt very nostalgic -friendly staff -gen admin seating -pretty cheap -ample parking What I wasn't thrilled about: -Pepsi products -kind of just tacked onto the end of a strip mall next to a big lots of all things -only the tropical mix Mike and Ike's which are kind of gross read more

Great value cinema for $6 per ticket before 6pm, then it's $8 afterwards. The snacks are also all sold at decent prices. Small, older, with an 80s charm to it. The run of films are all the same blockbusters as the modern cinemas including exclusive viewings like Netflix's Knives Out 3 and eclectic A24 films. The seating is pretty standard, but they also offer free cushions/pillows near the front if you that's what you desire. We were in theater 3 and I believe it's their largest room. It was VERY clean. read more

See all

Cheap and amazing movie experience I had an amazing time and it is so cheap I think it's 6$ a ticket

This a good, low cost for seniors movie theater. Good selection of first run films. My go to place for price and ample parking. Pop corn not as expensive as big chains. The decor is aged but well maintained. read more

Just love this theater. Quiet, clean and very polite staff. Best popcorn of all theaters! Thank you! read more

I really like this place, it is clean, they have strangely low prices, very friendly staff, and a huge parking lot.

Great Place! Inexpensive for Movie and Food. Seniors $6/adults $8. Goung there for years, surprised they don't have more customers.

We had a solid movie-going experience here. Came on a Sunday afternoon and had almost the whole place to ourselves. No lines! Staff were prompt and friendly. Cost was only $6/person. Screen was large and the sound was great. Basic seats, which was just fine. Theater was clean. I'd definitely come here again. read more

This place should be on every moviegoer's radar. Prices are really reasonable, especially during the day, and the staff is incredibly friendly. My college student daughter occasionally takes her younger cousins there and the staff is really kind and warm with them all. This is a perfect place for taking off the afternoon from work and seeing that movie you probably won't get to, otherwise. They are great! read more

This is our go-to cinema as of a few weeks ago. Last few times we visited, everyone was really kind. Prices are extremely reasonable, so I no longer dread being out 125 bucks when taking the fam and only getting a couple sodas and snacks. Now I feel like we can just hit the movies on the fly, whenever we want. Like it used to be years ago before movies and concession stands got comically expensive. Sure, its a modest and smaller theater that lacks all the bells and whistles. But who cares? Place is super clean, friendly, screens are sharp, and sound is great. In addition, I'd rather give my money to a independent shop vs corporate where they shove 30 minutes of Fanta commercials down my throat for double the price. read more

Oak Grove Cinema - Cinema Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Old school, small town feel of a theater. Love supporting local instead of a national chain. My only beef is we were 5min late and previews started early. So we missed the very beginning of our movie. read more

A basic, reasonably priced cinema that has lots of movies, and is convenient for folks nearby.

One of my earliest childhood memories was seeing Star Wars on the big screen with my parents. And while I'm not the biggest fan in the universe (I've always been partial to Star Trek), the experience of sitting in a movie theater as a child and just being overwhelmed by the sights and sounds of that type of blockbuster still resonates with me. Through the years there have been more films that have hit me this way and although home media systems have improved by leaps and bounds, there really is something to be said about seeing certain kinds of movies on the big screen. It is a reminder that I should skip Netflix and Redbox and take my kids to the movies more often but sometimes the prices seem prohibitive. In the burbs, Regal Cinema dominates and the current ticket prices are roughly $10 for adults and $7.50 for children. Bridgeport charges a premium, but Wilsonville and Sherwood aren't too far behind. So although it isn't the fanciest place in the land, in the past year we've started going to Oak Grove 8 for first run movies. The best part is that tickets are $5 before 6:00p. Please note this theater is CASH ONLY. The fact that there is never a line or parking hassles and concession prices are reasonable add to our enjoyment. Before your movie begins, you won't be entertained with an endless loop of movie trivia and ads for Pepsi, but instead you'll see local ads for places like Bob's Red Mill ($2 off your meal with your movie stub). My kids also want me rent out one of their theaters for a birthday party so they can play X-BOX on the big screen. This is really a back to basics movie experience and I kind of like it. Not the best spot to see an epic show, but you can still enjoy a little movie magic and not feel gouged in this theater. read more

I got to get this cinema credit, for what it is you get an exceptional value for your dollar. At one point clouded to be a nicer Cinema in the area but it's not been modernized to keep up with the times. It's really a second run quality theater in terms of seats, projector and such but it shows first run movies. Where else are you going to see your first run movie for five bucks? There's only one other quality one in town that I know of, and they have a limited two screens I believe. This one has like 8. They have my business every new release weekend with the exception of the big special-effects driven movies that I might want to see in 3-D or an HD. read more

Does it have the biggest screens? Nope. The most advanced ultra hi-fi sound system? No. Gourmet meals and table service? No again. But is it pretty clean and probably the cheapest place you can go in the area for a movie and snacks? Yes, yes it is. And they have beer now so there's really no good reason for me to go anywhere else for a theater experience. Support this local gem! read more

Newly released movies at a reasonable price. Great for a day of family fun. Friendly atmosphere and employees that go above and beyond what's expected. read more

It's fine. It's not that busy because Oak Grove is terrible. But rating a movie theater is dumb.

Horrible. The system is one person on concessions and one doing tickets and concessions. So the line was super long 17 minutes for me to get to the front of the line. I had gotten there 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time but just as I'm next to purchase my ticket a lady come out of the theater to say the movie is well under way (it should have been 2 minutes into the previews). Apparently someone had started the movie 15 minutes early. Super annoyed that I spent 20 minutes standing around due to an inefficient system compounded by a screwup, as it's not like the first 15-20 minutes of the movie is important or anything. Yes, that is sarcasm. read more

Cheap, fun, super nice people here. I loooove this cinema. It has a feel and smell just like when I was a kid.

There are only three reasons to go here: 1) you enjoy the smell of a theater that hasn't REALLY been cleaned in years. 2) You love horrible service by snarky teens behind the snack bar. 3) The movie is sold out elsewhere. If you've got no other option, plan to skip the snack counter, and don't sub-par presentation, this place will do in a bind. The one positive thing about this place is that you'll always get a good seat, even on opening night. read more

I really like this cinema, it has an old fashioned cinema feel to it, with fun movie posters both new and old all over. It's not a big Cinema like some of them, but it's a nice place, and it seemed to me that the surround sound was better here. The individual theaters are a bit smaller than they are at Regal or Clackamas, but the seats are still comfortable enough that you dont care. Besides, I dont necessarily think bigger is always better. A nice small theater can be much better for a date night, or for a small group of friends. Their hot dogs aren't quite as good as the ones at Clackamas or the Regal theaters. The basically taste like a pack of jumbo Frank's from the store, and not like what I'm used to at a cinema. However, I'm willing to cut them some slack because when I was there they had run put of hot dogs, and when I said, "oh darn, i was looking forward to a hot dog" the girl at the counter was so gracious and offered to microwave a hot dog for Sheryle and I. So, even though they weren't the best movie theater hot dogs I've ever had, they were good, and more importantly, I was very impressed with their customer service. I highly recommend this movie theater for a date spot, gathering place for friends, something to do on a day off, for any reason. By the way, the movie I saw was Venom, and I loved it! read more

Meh. It's a movie theatre. They show current movies. They're kind to their employees 'cause when it's 105 outside it's 120 in that little booth that the sun hits directly so inside you pay - cash or card. Nifty. I really liked how friendly the gal at the concession stand treated me and even upsold me a tub of popcorn. Sneaky but effective. Expecting to pay for a bottle of water she gave me a glass for free - very nice. The seats are kinda small for a long-legged guy like me but considering the heat wave outside the A/C was soothing and I forgot about my leg cramps. Yup. I like this theater. Good parking. Clean bathrooms. Friendly service. Yippee!!!! read more

Childhood movie theater. Couldn't count how many movies I've seen here but I appreciate how they hire high school students to work there. It's a good old fashioned theater, not renovated like all the new theaters we have around Portland. Food and drinks are priced sdbout the same as other theaters l, popcorn is good though! read more

I like going to movies here. Friendly service and locally owned by one family. They give a senior discount to see the latest movies any time. Easy to get to and lots of parking. I recommend you avoid the crowds at the bigger cinemas and go here instead! read more

First choice for first runs. Sometimes I get stuck going to a Regal or Cinetopia type of theater when I'm travelling on business. I generally get a popcorn and a soda. At the Oak Grove I can get 2 matinee tickets and enough popcorn and soft drinks for 2 people for $20. In the real (corporate) movie world, I'm usually out $30+ for the same thing for just myself. The whiny reviews on this theater can KMA. This is a great place if you're there to watch the movie. read more

I legitimately liked this theater. When we went to a feature there, it's clean and basic. But, I like supporting locally-owned businesses and Portland is lucky, cinemas like this make it easy. Restrooms were at the far end of the theater corridor and our feature was at the other end. Two auditoriums are in the lobby so those must be quite small. The cinema we were in was average sized, clean and had comfortable seating. One thing to note, the auditoriums are laid out in the classic style with a sloped seating area, but not stadium / tiered seating like most of the new multiplex auditoriums. Viewing the screen wasn't an issue and I only heard the movie next door during the previews. This business is cash only and they have an ATM in the lobby in case you are without funds. Evening shows are currently $7 and matinees $5 for adults. Concessions were $5 or less, unlike most larger chain cinemas. read more

Previous reviews had me concerned, but for what reason? The movie theater is fine, I didn't see any mess anywhere, the screen was in condition, staff was courteous. This is what I consider a value-theater. It's the way theaters used to be. The tickets are $5-7, not $8-14 like at Century theaters. You get what you pay for. read more

If you show up expecting a brand new state of the art cinema, yes, you will be disappointed. The seats are old, the floors have the old school slant instead of stadium seating, and they have Pepsi instead of Coke. The horror. If you want to see first-run movies at a fantastic price, enjoy good affordable classic concessions like nachos and popcorn, and support a locally owned theater, this is your place. Once you go here a few times it's easy to remember you need cash which is a huge part of why they have such great prices and not a bad trade off. Knock it all you want but acting like they ran your dog over because they have an ATM makes you a fucking tool. It's a little rundown, but the GM keeps it clean, is friendly, and is doing his part to keep the chains from completely taking over. Which is a bigger deal than most people realize. Support local businesses! Plus, Pepsi. Coke can eat my butthole. I want a Mt. Dew when I watch Star Wars. CAN THIS THEATER NOT AFFORD HEAT!? Did you think to let anyone know that it was cold? Maybe ask to turn the heat up? I'm going to guess you didn't because then they would have told you, "No, sorry we don't have heat." Seriously though, perhaps the auto thermostat went out or the person checking the theater thought it felt fine. Or nobody noticed. How can you give them shit when you didn't raise the issue? AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE THIS PLACE DOESN'T TAKE CREDIT OR DEBIT!!! Yeah, I get it, the old push to the ATM can be irritating. You know what's not irritating? $5 movie tickets seven days a week instead of just Tuesday. $4.50 for a large popcorns instead of $8. $3.50 for a large soda instead of $6. I can buy tickets for 6, concessions, visit the ATM, and still walk out of here for $30 less than the Regals and Centurys of the world. read more

I think the negative reviewers are from the Pearl. It's the best theater near Sellwood and the price is right at $7. They never have crowds so you always get a great seat, and the staff are always nice to us. It's not a fancy place, granted, but clean and hands-free flushing toilets. Yes, there are teens in some of the movies, but I've never had a problem with them. Overall, despite it's strip mall location, I like it. Reminds me of the way movie theaters used to be. And the sound is good, although sometimes too loud. Anyway, give it a go. You'll like it. Oh- Lake Oswego, listen up- and they have parking which is nice. Parking. But no clever answering machine. read more

A good place to see an anticipated big movie when you have a low budget. The outrageously fun carpet and decor is from the 80's, there are only a few theaters and the seats slowly grade down towards the screen (so not really stadium seating). However, this mom & pop theater still has good movie quality, the theater rooms were large with plenty of space to move around if someone sits in front of you, the refreshments taste just like anywhere else and at $7 for a ticket on a opening night to see Dr. Strange, I really can't complain. Tip: THIS PLACE IS CASH ONLY read more

Worst movie experience-period Have never left a movie before and I'm 44. Group of crappy, loud , young people came in after movie started making derogatory comments and when we ignored them they threw candy and hit us in the back of the head. I went to manager to have them removed from the theater and they were allowed to stay. We left /no movie- not EVER GOING BACK. Pretty sure it was a gay thing as I was there with my same sex partner ,but whatever -this place is undesirable in every way bummer night. read more

I don't usually write 5 star ratings for movie theaters but this one really deserves it! We came to see a movie last night at 7:20. We got our large popcorn and Pepsi as well as some sour patch kids. The price alone for all these snacks deserves the 5 stars! I mean we all know how broke movie theater snacks make you right? Or maybe it's just me. The popcorn was extra buttery and delicious. The theater we sat in wasn't too big so we were pretty close up to the screen which made you feel like you were in the movie. Comfortable seats too! The staff was very kind throughout our whole experience. We will be back for sure! read more

Went to the front, nobody at the front ticket counter, walked in and some lady was at the concession stand and walked up to her and ordered two tickets. Said it was $14 dollars for two people, we were going to pull our debt card out and she said "Oh no we don't accept that, only cash here" I guess they need to put it some where that cash is only accepted here. She pointed at the ATM and said "You can get cash at the ATM there" said no thanks and walked out of the theater. Horrible! Never coming here again, probably would of been disappointed with it, I kept hearing how ghetto the place is to begin with. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE! read more

May be a little dated and worn but you cannot beat the prices on a first run movie. I like going here for the savings but also because I like to support the smaller theaters. Since this is the only one in the area, I really want them to stay too! You will save money on the tickets and the snacks but come with cash as they do not accept cards. There is an ATM in the lobby for those that forget. I have never had a bad customer service experience here either. read more

You get what you pay for is an understatement. As long as I'm paying anything, there should be some level of expectation. I haven't been here since Nutty Professor 2 was in theaters. Needless to say, it's been a while and I was a mindless teenager then who probably didn't care that the staff nay have been ruder than snot or that the seats lacked any real butt-cushion. Went and saw Planes today with the kids at 2:45 and was vastly disappointed. I didn't have high expectations coming here, knowing it was a value theater but I was a little taken a back that they didn't except debit or credit cards. The "manager" had worse customer service than the other teenagers working (as I doubt she was much older than 20). She was snide to say the least. The popcorn was stale. The chips were stale. The bathrooms looked as though they hadn't been touched in a few days. Considering theaters first showings are usually around 11:30 or noon, stale popcorn in a matter of a couple hours seems unlikely to me. From the day prior? Probably so. If you're not getting food, go for it. It's a cheap alternative. I paid $40 for 4 tickets, popcorn, drinks, nachos and candy. If you don't mind stale food, flat soda, and terrible service - this place is a gold mine. read more

It was a little warm inside, and there's a smell that I can't explain, but not too strong. The seats are fine and comfortable enough. The matinee are super cheap, $5 only. The large popcorn and soda is also cheap. Overall, this movie theater is not bad at all. I recommend it, and I will come back again many times. lol! read more

Price is perfect, they take debit cards now too! Snacks are reasonably priced too. They rarely fill up to where you can't get a walk in seat. I highly recommend stopping here if you're in town and want to catch a movie. read more

I've been going to this theatre since I was a young teenager , I remember when they first built it back in the 90s . I'm thirty years old now and it still stands the test of time!! The prices are good way better then the overcrowded expensive ass Mall theatre. It's not like there is holes in the damn roof or anything it's just a little local business that has done a good job staying in business Bring cash I'm old school that's how I roll anyway. Might as well save some money and go here support local businesses and enjoy the film, I remember seeing the Mask with Jim carry and Jurassic park when it first came out that's about how old it is!!! Lol Ps cheap concessions too not ten dollars for a. Drink !! read more

Great price at $6 for a ticket but horribly uncomfortable seating. My whole group was sore and aching after a two hour movie. Also, not stadium seating so people sat two rows in front and their heads were in the screen. Could hear the auditorium next to ours as well. Couldn't recommend this place unfortunately. The picture and sound quality was good otherwise read more

They take card payments now! So many negative comments because they were trying to pass on cost savings, but now they take cards, and are STILL the least expensive first run theater for tickets and snacks. Just saw The Last Jedi with my son, we had a great time, staff was friendly, and I saved A TON compared to the big chain theaters. read more
