Great EsCapes: Flick Faves
Taking in a movie this time of year is a great way to beat the winter blues, avoid cabin fever, and get up to speed before Oscar night rolls around. And we’re lucky that Cape Cod has a variety of independent movie theaters showing everything from Hollywood blockbusters to indy films. Here are a few alternatives to the mall megaplex, guaranteed to make your movie-going experience something special. So, hunker down, grab some popcorn, and enjoy!

Now you can combine dinner and a movie all in the same place. This new three-cinema theater offers the latest releases in a casual, pub style atmosphere, complete with tables, comfy swivel chairs, and a waitstaff serving burgers, fries, pizzas and other theater fare.

WELFLEET CINEMAS
Wellfleet
Take a drive down Route 6 this winter to catch a movie at the Wellfleet Cinemas. The independently owned and operated cinema complex offers four indoor screens (open year-round) as well as the popular (seasonal) Wellfleet Drive-In. All theatres show current, first run movies.
True, there’s no place like a Drive-In to view a movie and there’s no Drive-In like the Wellfleet Drive-In. There is a playground for kids to play on before and after the movie and a full snack bar. Interestingly, the parking lot hosts a 300+ vendor flea market during the day! Check it out. The Drive-In Theater reopens for the 2008 season on April 18th.
51 Route 6
South Wellfleet, MA 02663
