Locally-owned, independent movie theaters have been on the
decline in the last 15-20 years, but, thankfully, many remain in the
New England area. Too bad there aren't more, given the uniqueness and
character of each theater and the hometown, neighborly feel. Here are
some still-thriving movie theaters in Connecticut, Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire , Rhode Island and Vermont that have that
one-of-a-kind, old-school feel:
