Mission Valley will get all the same movies the other theaters in town will, but it has small screens and old style seating. A perk of mission valley is that they allow you to bring in coffee from the coffee shop "Cup of Joe" next door, which can be a great movie time treat.

Rialto Theatre
1620 Glenwood Ave
Raleigh, NC 27608
(919) 856-8683

The Rialto's claim to fame is its Friday midnight weekly showing of the Rocky Horror Picture show. Those who come to watch the movie often come dressed in movie attire, and act out parts of the movie as it happens. This cult classic can be fun when experienced through the eyes of the Rialto. The rest of the time, the Rialto is Raleigh's art theater. The theater shows primarily independent movies that aren't picked up by the huge theaters and caters to an older crowd of movie goers on Friday and Saturday nights.
