Central Cinema is Knoxville’s only independent movie theater, offering a steady lineup of popular favorites, cult classics and first-run indie exclusives in addition to regular live comedy shows and range of community-centered special events. Owned and operated since 2018 by the creators of the long-running Knoxville Horror Film Fest, the single screen theater also offers books, records & home video, a wide beer selection and (allegedly) the best popcorn in town, all wrapped up in a vibe of pop cultural nostalgia and deep enthusiasm for the moviegoing experience.
