About PDX Movies

PDX Movies puts every movie showing in Portland and its neighbors, from Vancouver to Beaverton to Milwaukie , all on one page. Independent houses and multiplexes, side by side. Free, no account, nothing to install.

Why it exists

Figuring out what's playing tonight used to mean opening a pile of theater websites, each laid out differently. This is the one page we wanted instead: every theater and every showing, sorted the way you actually decide, by theater, by film or by what's starting soon.

Portland's screens

Portland is a repertory town. The Hollywood, Cinema 21, the Laurelhurst, the Academy, Cinemagic, the Clinton Street, the 5th Avenue and more are read straight from each theater's own schedule, so one-night events and 35mm screenings show up next to the multiplexes. Many of them pour beer you can take to your seat, and the pint glass on a theater tells you which ones!

How it works

Listings refresh through the day. Independent theaters are read from their own schedules, and the chains come from Fandango's public listings. We don't sell tickets: tap any time and you go straight to the theater's own page to buy. Times change and shows sell out, so that page always has the final word.

Who makes it

PDX Movies is made by Ben VanderVeen, a designer in Portland, Oregon. It's an independent project, not owned by a theater, a chain or a ticket seller. Ads help cover the costs, and if you'd like to chip in, you can support it on Ko-fi.

Three cities

PDX Movies is one of three sister sites, each built the same careful way.
