tower theater ($5 movies!?)
the Tower Theater opened in 1926, which makes it older than, like anything else in Miami by a million years. Even better than just being old is that the Tower Theater is super cheap. The tickets are five dollars for students, at Sunset Place you're paying what, 12 dollars nowadays? and that is just out of control. Even better than that is that the movies are international independent films mostly, but not the pull my eyes out starving children kind, but the kind that you would pay the full twelve to watch on Lincoln Road (who also plays a decent handful of indie films). Summer is the perfect time to look into seeing something at the Tower because really all those summer movies with the Rock and the bro-mance flicks get old really fast. Perhaps the very best part about the Tower Theater is that it's located smack in the middle of Little Havana on Calle Ocho, so after the movie you can get some pastelitos at Versailles or some sushi at Mr. Yum and people watch in a place more interesting than most anything captured on film.
