I guess Laurids Andersen Sonne counts...

If curved screens don’t bother you, you won’t mind AMC or Lumina theaters.

The metal surrounding the screen might distract you, the tight seating is not ideal, but the programming is $free99. Rubenstein Center at Duke University.

Good food, comfortable seats, with specialty content almost always, Alamo Drafthouse is the place to go for a reliably enjoyable Raleigh cinema experience.

If you don’t care how much money you have to spend, want access to big theaters with flat screens, and happen to live in Chapel Hill and won't travel, Silverspot will work.

If you need a moviehouse that scratches every itch, Carolina Theatre of Durham is Durham's must-see.

RETRO film series, MovieDiva, CINEMA OVERDRIVE and festival fun, all year.

No matter which theater you find yourself in at the Carolina Theatre

unless you find yourself in Cinema Two for a packed house at LadyBird
sitting in a stackable chair in the balcony

you'll have some reason to feel romance.

CINEMA ONE: almost 300 comfortable seats and not a bad one in the house.
CINEMA TWO: tiny, but with decent vantage points and decent seating.

FLETCHER HALL: Hopefully not a long haul. The seats will punish you. But you can sit in the balcony and make out with someone privately.
