Great Time in Green Hills

by MrObvious

Love the theater, their selection is current. They could do a better job with the cell phone idiots, but I understand. I saw a comment on there about long lines. I usually get there a little early and not go on "kids night" . That may be what that was about. My only comment about that is get there early, enjoy the movie, and if you don't like lines in Green Hills, drive your happy butt over to 100 Oaks and enjoy the Rap show and see what new boxer short fasions are out now, and maybe get some new low-rider ideas for your truck or car. By the way, be armed, they are. Green Hills Rocks !!!! Raise the price of tickets now and maybe that guy will move to Antioch

• Pros: Good selection
• Cons: Cell phones

Excellent Choice of Theater!

by liketowatchmovies

The Green Hills Regal has a good selection of movies, and, occasionally, they show some independent films that are difficult to find elsewhere. The clientele are, generally, well-behaved and quiet; of course, they're usually quite wealthy and well-dressed, so you might feel out of place if you show up on a Friday night, wearing a T-shirt and gym shorts! The video and audio quality seems to be quite good, with few technical glitches, and I believe they have a good selection of snacks/drinks at the concession stand. One slight negative that I will mention: I think most of their theaters have a dividing wall that goes - left to right - across the seating area, so short people may have their view somewhat restricted if they sit in the row directly behind that wall. If you go there and check it out, I think you'll see what I mean...Overall, I would recommend this theater to anyone in the Nashville area.

• Pros: Great Parking Adjacent, Nice and Clean, Considerate Audience (usually)
• Cons: Smallish Theaters, Pricey

Shows great indie films you can't see anywhere else, buy tickets at the lobby kiosk to avoid lines

by tdadams

The reviewer below who advises to avoid this theater because of the lines is obviously like so many people (the ones standing in line) who don't realize you can bypass the line entirely and buy a ticket from a kiosk in the lobby. There is never a line there. The parking lot usually is crowded at busy times, but never so much that you can't find a spot. I guess it kills some people to walk a few yards.

I'm very grateful for the Green Hills theater. They show movies that no other theater in town would even consider. The Belcourt can only do so much to bring sleeper films to Nashville. I remember when the idea of first run indie films showing in Nashville was laughable.

So let's not gripe about little things (especially when you don't know any better than to stand in a line you don' t need to stand in).

• Pros: Great movie selection, quick and easy to get tickets at kiosks, stadium seating
• Cons: parking lot competes with mall traffic

Avoid this theater due to lines

by 3smile

The lines to buy tickets always go out the door, the lines to purchase drinks are imossibly long, and parking is always difficult ---going around and around the parking garage to get in or out.

The only reason this theater stays as busy as it does is due to its proximity to one's own household.

• Pros: proximity
• Cons: long lines, long lines, not enough staff

Tiresome

by britain

Green Hills has Indie movies which is the only reason I tolerate them. They don't want to offend anybody, even rude talkers and cell phone idiots, and I have to get up 5 out of 10 movies to go get someone to turn out the lights, start the film on time, fix the jammed film, report loud talkers! What is it? I complained to a manager once about the sweeper employees who come in and tromp noisely up and down the stairs 1 or twice in a movie to do whatever they are doing. She never said she was sorry, but she couldn't defend the kids enough. I am a Regal Card owner and even thought they deny any control over points or free items, I have received much less rewards than other places in town. And I see movies a lot; I have 1500 points on my card in Nashville. And don't get me started about long lines to get a drink. What gives Green HIlls? Do you have to be "The Snobby Movie Theatre" with no service?

• Pros: Indie films
• Cons: Extra point misers

Good Theater but......

by adaws

I usualy go to Regal Green Hills for my movie fix. Great location, great parking and great choice of films but there are some improvements that needs to be done. When they get really busy, it doesn't make any sense why they only have one popcorn machine working or open the second concession stand down below to get rid of long lines. And I have been complaining to them about the behavor of teenagers making noise or talking on their cell phones a few times that I have to get up in the middle of the film to get a security officer outside to get them to stop it. I've walked out of a movie and left the theater so many times for that I've asked them for a free pass or a refund. I've had enough of it so next time, I'm going somewhere else!

• Pros: Location, Comfort, Great movie selection
• Cons: , Lack of security, Not clean at times

Better than Most

by addas

You are still on your own if someone decides to be an idiot and talk during a film, but fewer folks do that here. Regal and Carmike compete only in Bellvue in Nashville and it shows with their prices (and the lack of a good dollar cinema in Nashville) and this theatre is partially responsible for the Belcourt having to have fund-raisers, but that also means this is the only place for a good selection of artsy films in town. The Cooker is closed, but there are a few places to eat. Good parking in the garage!!!

• Pros: Artsy Films, Foreign Films, Quiet People
• Cons: , Escalator breaks, Prices

The Best

by laneylu

Green Hills 16 is hands down the best theatre in Nashville. Not only is the area clean and safe, but it is one of the few theatres (anywhere) that boosts quality sound and atmosphere AND artsy independent films. The selection of movies is fabulous- anything from talked about documentaries to Sundance winners to blockbusters. The ambiance is quiet- perfect for movie viewing. There is no need to go anywhere else.

Green Hills is the best in Nashville

by TCAir

Greens Hills is absolutely the best theater in Nashville. Not just for sound, seats or concessions, but for the patrons and shows. Green Hills tends to show more of the wall new releases than all the mainstream blockbusters. This selection of more critically acclaimed movies brings in an older more mature crowd, thus a quieter more relaxed viewing experience. Check Green Hills out. You wont be disappointed.
