Priest Theater

Honestly, I don’t really care for this movie theatre. It’s not the cleanest, and it’s practically in the middle of nowhere. They have some good movies that play, but since the cinema screen is so old, it is a bit faded in color, and sometimes during the movie it’ll make weird scratchy sounds and black dots will appear on the screen. I don’t think I’d go here again.

Such an amazing historical landmark. It’s like you are transported back in time when you see a movie here. And the prices cannot be beat!

Great local business to support. Owners are really nice and so are their parents. Very family oriented.

The Priest Theater is a single screen theater in an older historic building in High Springs. They have showings on Fri, Sat, & Monday. They also have some showings on Thursdays from time to time. Friday the showing is at 8pm, Sat 6pm, and Mon 8pm.
A couple years ago the theater had a successful crowd funding effort for a digital projector. The screen in the theater is nice, but the audio is a little muffled. It would be nice if they kickstarted an audio upgrade.
Since the theater is a single screen you’ll have to make due with a limited selection that tends to be on the family friendly side. They do cycle movies fairly quickly to make up for being a single screen theater.
The theater itself is well kept and a pleasure to visit. You can tell that the people running the place care about their business. The concessions are well priced and steeply cheaper than the Regal theaters in this area of Florida.
Even if you’re not from the area it’s worth a visit to experience a well run family operated theater.

I decided to mix it up and go to high springs from Gainesville to check this place out. This place has a lot of history and local feel so the rating is mostly based on what they are trying to do. Its a one theater set up and they dont have a lot of show times. Its cash only but super cheap. $ 5 for a ticket and you can popcorn and a pop for $ 6 (no refills).
Thr quality of the picture is perfectally fine and they dont make it really loud like other places. A good amount of thr chairs are beat up but you have a lot of leg room. The main kicker is the AC isnt great so its pretty warm inside.
To start off the movie the owner comes out and gibes you a financial update on the theater and address
