Pensacola's most popular theater is its Rave, which has a very large selection of movies and show times. However, many avoid the theater for its high prices.

The Silver Screen is another popular movie theater. They play movies that have just stopped playing in theaters for significantly cheaper than other theaters. They also play many cult favorites during their late-night weekend shows. The theater is also known for having tables and spinning chairs rather than rows; it is also unique in the area for offering alcoholic beverages and pizza along with other foods.

Another classic movie destination is IMAX at the Pensacola NAS.
