(TAG 5 is a top five list compiled by secret ballot, submitted by the four horsemen of TAG. An extremely complicated equation is used to calculate the polls. Mostly they are related to SGF, sometimes they are not. A new TAG 5 is released every Monday.)
There are a lot of factors when deciding on which movie theater you head to for a night out. Frequently it’s convenient time of the choice film, but comfort, concessions, price, and sound/screen/projection quality all play a factor, too. TAGsgf.com’s favorite theater won primarily on selection of movies. There are plenty of places to go when you want to see the next blockbuster, but only one if you want an a that small budget award winner, or art film, The Moxie. Downtown’s home of independent movies was recently purchased by a new non-profit, but nothing has changed about the venue. It received a pair of first-place votes. Hollywood Theater edged Campbell 16 for second. Though pricey, Hollywood features the best sound and projection experience, while sheer number of screens at Campbell keeps a large selection around. The Palace and Springfield 8 rounded out the list in a tie.
