The main problem with second-run movie theaters, of course, is that you have to wait for a movie to make it there! Sometimes I just don't have the patience-- a frugality sin, for sure.

There is a place in my city which costs $2 per ticket, and $1 for all snacks. We go every few months. Second-run movie theatres are also great if you really want to see something on the big screen.
