This is an excellent site with comprehensive photos and information concerning drive-ins in Detroit as well as the rest of the state.

The Brattle is the only repertory movie theater in the metro Boston area.

The Detroit area is blessed with three beautiful old movie theaters that were built in the 1920’s and still show films—the Detroit Film Theatre, the Michigan Theater in Ann Arbor, and the Redford Theatre in Detroit.

Each theater is a good example of how a classic film theater can be supported: through an art museum (the Detroit Film Theatre), through a college community (the Michigan Theater), and through donations and volunteer work (the Redford Theatre).

Gearing up for the big day, the owners of the Academy Theater have issued a “call for memories” of the 1948 theater, quiet for almost 30 years. They’re looking for everything from old photos to recollections of hot dates for possible inclusion in a lobby display. Send notes to: memories@academytheaterpdx.com.
