    An odd theater: The Charles always has good selection of indie and international movies. Plus interesting mix of people: older white couples and young hip yeppiwannabees (plus all their associated accessories). Beware of occasional clapping at the end of a movie (who's gonna hear you? the movie director?). Tips: either go early or buy a discount booklet (pay $70 for 10 tickets, then go with your friends, use your booklet, give them the impression that it's $8 full admission that they owe you, cash back). Use your "hard-earned" money to visit Xs restaurant on the way home for good ice cream & sushi.

    Great local indie movie theater: The Charles is a great little indie movie theater located on trendy North Charles Street in Downtown Baltimore. It has 5 screens and has been a Baltimore staple since 1939. It shows primarily independent movies but occaisionally shows more mainstream movies during the summer. The ticket prices are very reasonable- $6 for a mantinee, $8 for normal admission. Popcorn and snacks are reasonable too. They also have a coffee bar so you can get an expresso before the movie. There is also a tapas bar connected to the theater itself. If you are looking for a trendy escape from the megaplexes, the Charles is the place to go.
