The truly remarkable thing about the Lynwood is the consistent quality of films TJ selects. The Lynwood shows independent films, foreign films, documentaries, and occasionally, a Hollywood blockbuster. Once a month there is a Classics Night where a great film of the past is featured. On Halloween, TJ bravely produces two showings of “Rocky Horror Picture Show”, which generally sells out the 260-seat auditorium. “Rocky Horror” attracts the usual crowd of costumed devotees, and I use the term “bravely” because the cleanup of rice, toast, water, and toilet paper is horrendous, but worth the effort to have this event.

TJ has done a great job upgrading the theatre without losing the feel of the old time, single-screen picture show. With its beautifully renovated marquee, it proudly proclaims itself a gem in the rich Bainbridge Island cultural scene.

The Lynwood Theatre is a great Bainbridge Island resource that attracts movie fans from all over the area. I feel like I could go to every movie they show and I wouldn’t be disappointed ever, although I’d certainly have my favorites. The shows at the Lynwood are all interesting, well-made, and thought provoking, and we are very lucky to have it here on the island. I hope the Lynwood goes on forever.
