3 Screens DLP Digital Projection and Sound. Built in 1936, the Del Mar Theatre is an art deco triplex featuring a grand auditorium, tasty local snacks, organic popcorn (with real butter!) and weekly Midnight Movies. The theatre shows a wide variety of independent and foreign language films, as well as the best big-budget Hollywood movies, with state-of-the-art presentations in a welcoming community atmosphere. The theatre was frequented by Alfred Hitchcock when he lived in nearby Scotts Valley, and a photo of him resides in the lobby.

What a great theatre! Easy in and outs of the venue with the extra wide aisles. Sound and image quality was solid, but the only negative was limited food options. I know I should feel guilty but they didn’t have any hotdogs to clog my arteries. Would definitely come back to this venue again

A beautiful historic theater that actually has good food (including real butter on the popcorn). They show a mix of major motion pictures and smaller prestige/indie ones, plus crowd-pleaser midnight-movie favorites. They also host some community events.

Wonderful old theater with period decor, a wide variety of films, including non-main stream, and a program of live recordings of plays and operas spread throughout the year.

The Del Mar is a classic movie house restored from a bygone era and has a really cool nostalgic vibe. For being such an old theater, they have done a good job upgrading the speaker and projection systems because the sound and picture quality or definitely up to par. Also, don't expect to see big budget movies from the major studios here. This theater mainly caters more towards independent and arthouse films. The first time I came here I was walking behind a tourist family on the street that looked up at the marquee and said quote "I've never even heard of any of these movies." And I just laughed to myself as I walked in. The only fault I have with this theater is that the chairs are really stiff and I found myself constantly readjusting in my seat to try and get comfortable. I haven't seen a movie in their larger palace theater, but based on the pictures it looks like the seats in that theater are more comfortable. Other than that, I love this old school gem.

Simple theatre that films not too new movies. But love the overall ambience.
