Super Cheap Movies at the Roxy Theatre
This place is built into an old airplane hanger, and is a total local favourite. 3 movies for $5. Damn.
Even cheaper on Tuesdays ($2.50) Double Damn! Showings are at 7:15pm, 9:15pm and I guess 11:15pm, but I'm not sure about that last one.

Capitol 6
The other main multiples in downtown Victoria, also located two blocks away. If you can't find the movie you wanted to watch here, look across the street!

SilverCity
If you want to see the latest movies in the theatre on the BIG screen and you're tired of having heads blocking your way, this is the theatre to be at. Friday and Saturday nights are teeming with teenagers who hang out in the mini-arcade and the food stands located in the theatre's lobby, but if you don't mind that, the expensive food prices or the bus ride out here (OK, it's not THAT long, but it's not downtown) then head on down!
