While the location itself is dated, it is an icon of the area. The video store in the front is well stocked with hidden gems. The staff is generally very passionate about film and always give great recommendations. During October they host all of the best classic horror films, capping it off with Halloween screenings of Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Amazing cast, very fun to watch. Beautiful set up, remodel was a success. Parking was really easy considering downtown parking is usually a hassle. The only one reason I made didn’t like the seating was because I was at the end and there was a gentlemen in front of me and he was tall so I had to lean kind of awkwardly in order to see the stage.

Great theater that shows many independent films as well as those that dont make it to the major theaters. Concessions are limited and it is definitely a smaller place than Broadway. It was a little cold inside and the seats are not as comfortable as Broadway either. However, its a great place to catch a movie!

If you live shadow casting, youll love this place. Its old, run down, and not the most glamorous but you dont go for the place, the people doing the shadow casting really get into the shows and put on a wonderful performance. If youre able, Id go see Repo, Rocky, or Hedwig as theyre all wonderful!

I really, really enjoy Tower Theater, and Salt Lake city Film Societys other theater Brodway. Tower is located in the 9th and 9th neighborhood. They show great independent and foreign films and the staff is always super friendly and helpful. Tower also has a huge selection of DVDs to rent.

I love this theatre! I have been coming here for the past 3 years now. I love the film selection they provide, including many independent movies that dont appear in other theatres. Also the rocky horror picture show they put on each year at Halloween is the funnest event of the season!

I learned more about how Native Americans have influenced everything from the beat of Rock & Roll, Blues, Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra in RUMBLE thanks to the Tower for bringing me an education in music I thought I knew. Where else are you going to get this stuff?!

The Tower is one of my favorite places in SLC. My husband and I see lots of movies here, and they are always different and interesting. If a movie has moved from the Broadway to the Tower, make sure to see it quick because that means they are phasing it out!

An historic theater in a really cute area of Salt Lake. They show a lot of independent films, films for the Sundance Film Festival, and also do fun events like the interactive Rocky Horror during Halloween (which you need to go to if you havent)

Its a dive. Still cool. Not taken care up with warped floor, we can stick to the floor from all the soda spilled. Its too bad how much money slfs needs to help this piece of history still stand. Humans needs to clean up after themselves.

I can always count on the Tower to screen the latest cinephile darlings, not to mention the slightly unusual or foreign flicks no one else will touch. Staff is wonderful, and the movie rental selection is quite decent.

The staff is passionate and knowledgeable about film. It turns out that theres other movies outside America that are beautiful to watch. Their movies are quite a bargain as well. You could watch movies nowhere else.

Awesome old school theater that shows cool movies that stays on your mind the week after. If you like foreign films, this is where you can check out their rental section. Volunteer staffs are awesome, too.

Came here for Sundance, as others have stated its an older theater which means older seats and few concessions. I didnt realize before that they showed little known new movies, Ill have to check that out.

A quaintly dated neighborhood theater showing one movie at a time. So quaint in fact, the AC sucks and the seats are lilliputian. But these discomforts seem only to add to the charm.

I recently discovered the tower through a friend and I love it. They show classic movies and new indie films. There is also an area to rent/purchase movies which has a huge selection.

Very few other places offer a piece of film and art culture that The Tower has held onto and hosted for decades now. Go catch an old film there. I saw Gremlins there one Christmas!

I like that they play old movies on a big screen and it has an old style theater feel to only issue is that i wish the seats were a bit more comfortable

Best staff Ive ever experienced in a movie theatre or movie rental store. They will help pick out a rental and offer only the most enthusiastic advice.

It is an awesome place. Yes, there is a lot of hipsters there, but dont let that stop you from going. They always show the most interesting movies.

I love the Salt Lake Film Society and everything it does. I especially love the summer film series. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves film.

A great place for independent films. Also offers a great selection of classic movies for rent. Watch for special events showing classic movies.

Poor lumbar support on the stadium seating seats. For being a Tower it sure isnt very tall though the experience was a well rounded one.

The little engine that could. I appreciate the Film Society for what it is but can we get a little more updated facilities?

We need more places like this in town, where open-minded people come together to appreciate art, and have a good time.

Not your typical movie theater. They show obscure and cult classics. Check out one of their midnight movies.

Used to love it there. Theyve got some rude guy who works there now. Dont know if its worth dealing with.

Fun retro theater, great hard-to-find DVD rental selection. Small, cramped seats are the only downside

Great intimate space. Light from the lobby pollutes the theater if the door is opened during showing

Such a fun place to see a show. They have productions of Hedwig and Rocky Horror that are fantastic.

Cool old theater. Independent movie venues are hard to find in Utah, but this is certainly a gem.

They have great films that you cant see anywhere else, but man are the seats uncomfortable.
