Super Great Local Classic...Fully Remodelled and Playing Top Notch Movies on Two Screens…read more (Two I Think). This place Works with Locals or Close neighbors working as Volunteers and This keeps admission tickets at a low $5.00... Kind of unheard of these Days with all the fancy Lounger style Big Screens around. The Screen here is a little Smaller, the Sound System doesn't blow out tour Eardrums, and the Slope of the floor is a bit Shallow, but the Movie Still Shows Fine. Concession is Great...Popcorn was top notch and Good Candy selection. The Cool thing is that even with popular Opening Weekend views you can always get a Seat...So before traveling to Des Moines Metro theaters maybe give this Classic Gem a shot and being on the Town Square you can get a great meal or ever stop into Peacetree Microbrew for a pre~movie Brewsky...Well I just planned out my next Date Night!!!

I couldn't believe that it's actually the world's oldest continuously running cinema, so I looked it up myself. There it is, in the Guinness Book of World Records. More people should know about that.

They also let you drop in and just buy some popcorn, during business hours. That's cool.

Years ago, Capitol Theater was really in the dumps and it seemed as though it would close its doors…read moreforever. But then the Bleeker family stepped up and took over. They did massive improvements, cleaned the place up, increased advertising and patron interaction, and still continue the slow renovation process. Not to mention their sensory-friendly viewings, which are a great idea! These are all the positive things, which admittedly are big! The family worked together and made the theater desirable again. However, with the Bleeker family being a very church-motivated bunch, the majority of the movies they play are Christian-focused, inspirational, or preachy. What I really hoped to see come of this theater, besides just playing the Hollywood hits, were maybe a few indie movies, or more Oscar-based viewing. Perhaps some revisiting of some classics or cult favorites. Special viewings of the flicks we all know and love. As a big movie theater enthusiast, who really enjoys the whole experience, I really hope to see this turn around a bit. And I truly believe I am not the only one that feels this way. Perhaps show the religious movies on a particular day and time specifically for that crowd? And put the rest - Hollywood hits, indie/Oscar-nominated movies, classics/favorites - out there for your mainstream patrons.

Very nice theatre for a small town like Centerville. Was very surprised in how nice it was when I…read morefirst moved here, having previously been a regular to the Ottumwa 8. Fridley 4 may have half the selection of the aforementioned, but the cleanliness, price, and comfort far outweighs their offerings. My only complaint is to try to avoid showings in theatre 4 as that screen is pretty small, but most of the time that is reserved for movies that have been running for more than opening week. Pro tip: go on Tuesdays!

I've been to a lot of movie theaters in my life... Big, sprawling, stadium seating theaters with…read morechandeliers and surround sound. I've been to the El Capitan on a premiere night. The theatre I grew up with had 20 screens, and it was surrounded by a plaza of food and activities. Gladbrook theater is still the coolest movie theater I've ever been to. Ever. Yeah, I suppose you could say it's because it was novel to me. It was cute and quaint, and the fact that it only shows one movie at a time is funny... but that's not what was so cool. What's cool is that the little town in the middle of corn fields and air decided they wanted a theater, and they did it. It's run by volunteers, and it's probably only frequented by the people who live near the town, but it's awesome. The place was clean, the snacks were cheap, and the movie selection for the night I was in town was perfect. I saw Wreck It Ralph in a little theater on a cold snowy night in Gladbrook, Iowa, with my boyfriend and two other awesome guys, one of whom was wearing a Teemo hat. Pretty great memory, I should think. I do think, in fact. If you live near here and you haven't stopped by, you really should. This place is great and definitely needs to be supported.
