Boedecker Theater

One of my favourite cinema joints, period. The intimate setting and stellar sound and visual setup make this place a film-lover’s dream.

You can choose to buy tickets online and someone ticks off your name from their list, at the door. Pretty good wine available to buy — it’s from nearby Hazels. Izzes and popcorn, too. I notice people chew it quietly during Operas and other artsy films. Thankfully.
The main thing is the film-​orderer, Glen Webb, manages to find mostly very compelling and/​or thoughtful films.
I wait all year for the aroma from the May lilacs blooming along the outside wall at the 26^th Street stairs-​entrance.

Saw «Muscle Shoals» this afternoon at the BOE, and it was fantastic. I highly recommend film «oh sweet home»! What a great venue. WOW is all I can say.

What a great secret gem! Clean, intimate theatre that has a great line-​up of movies (saw Muscle Shoals last night, amazing movie) and beer, wine and snacks too. If you get a chance to see a movie at the BOE, definitely go!

I was delighted to discover the Boedecker Theater recently when invited to go to a movie + talk (they have a special name for that here, but I’m not remembering it right now.) with a friend. As the other reviewers have mentioned, this is a small theatre with 60 extremely comfortable seats, so comfy in fact one might easily doze off, so buy a caffeine drink (coffee a mere $ 1 here) if you’re feeling even remotely sleepy going into the movie…
This theatre offers $ 100 yearly memberships which include all sorts of viable benefits, so that’s something to consider. More info about that on the Dairy Center website.
It’s nice to know that interesting art films can be seen here at a reasonable price, with an affordable array of refreshments available. Nice high ceilings everywhere too, so even in the small theatre, there is quite a sense of space.
I do have an opinion about the movie I saw, and the gentleman who was there to answer audience questions and speak afterward. Quite an opinion. It would greatly impact the number of stars in my review. But this review is for the theatre and the theatre itself is delightful. I think it is best for me to have the restraint and maturity to share my input about the film and especially the speaker with the people who run the theatre rather than in this public website.

Super comfy seats and friendly staff, great movies!

While this is part of the Dairy Center, I think it deserves a separate listing as a cinema. It’s a small art-​house theater, with 60 very comfortable seats that rock and/​or recline, plus room in the back row for wheelchairs. I went for the first time yesterday afternoon to see a film which, due to a bizarre technical glitch, they were unable to show. What I learned is that some of their films are downloaded from a server and, in this case, the supplier of the film (in NYC) had messed up and had not uploaded it for the specified time slot. The management was apologetic, offered us complimentary sodas while they tried to understand what the problem was, and then offered us the choice of vouchers for another movie or to stay and watch something else. It’s doubtful that this particular problem will happen again, but I felt they handled it well and with a minimum of fuss. I took the voucher and returned five hours later for the next showing of the film I had wanted to see. Since I live in Denver, I’m not sure how often I’ll go to films here, but the seats were terrific (big enough for a small person to curl up in) and the concessions (which I didn’t sample) seemed not outrageously priced.
