The 10 Best Movie Theaters in South Carolina, United States

November 4, 2021 Agatha Simes

South Carolina has some great beaches along its eastern coast. Among the most notable of these is Myrtle Beach, the hub of the grand strand and the largest resort on the east coast of South Carolina. This silky stretch of white sand is great for water-sports such as sailing and surfing. South Carolina is also regarded as one of the top golfing destinations in America. South Carolina has some notable historic towns which are worth visiting such as Charleston.

Highway 21 Drive-In Theater

I decided to take my daughter to a drive in movie before they all disappear. I couldn't have been more pleased with Highway 21 Drive in. It was great old school family fun. The concessions area was well stocked and prices very reasonable. The movie itself looked digital (flawless) and the sound was great though our car radio. I was very impressed with the entire operation and will be back. I would highly recommend this drive in for anybody looking for a great night out.

I went to see a documentary screening hosted by NOW. The facility is cozy and very clean (no sticky floors here). I also liked the eclectic, vintage decor. There is street parking available if you can get it but there is a parking garage which is a very short walk from the theater and it's free during nights and weekends. The theater hosts a variety of movies from independent films to current, big-budget productions you can see anywhere. I would also like to add the staff was very friendly.

Stone Theatres - Grand 14 at Market Commons

Reviewed By vaughncarmona - Murrells Inlet, United States

I'm kinda picky as almost every theatre will have something wrong but this place was fantastic! From a technical side the picture was great and the sound was perfect. Not every theatre keeps the AV calibrated but I was happy with the picture and sound. Volume was as it should be, not over loud. The place was clean, food was good and the prices are in line. I will be back!

Park Plaza Theater was a wonderful experience during these difficult times. If you are looking for a fun filled evening with the family watching your favorite movie and staying safe, book an evening in a private theater during vacation The staff is wonderful and made us feel at home!!

Awesome movie theater. Fair priced, very clean and the seats were super comfortable. If we were ever back in the area again, we would not hesitate to visit this movie theater again. The kids really enjoyed it, as well!

Regal Simpsonville Stadium 14

Reviewed By annnX5781BU - Simpsonville, United States

The Regal 14 movie theater is the best movie theater in town since the theater on SE Main Street closed and the drive-in theater was demolished to build the Duke Energy facility on hwy 417. The theater is very nice and comfortable, but unfortunately Hollywood hasn't put out any movies worth watching in quite a while so I don't have a reason to visit.

This is a good priced theater with good seats and more reasonable concessions than most of the big brand names around. To go to the local Regal, tickets plus concession for two people will cost $40, here the same movie would cost closer to $25.

The Terrace Theater

Reviewed By 962anthonyp - Charleston, United States

This theatre holds the coveted title of Charleston’s best theatre, given by the Post and Courier. Once you get there, you begin to see why. This isn’t like any other theatre - from concessions that include beer and wine to cool lounging areas to the small intimate (20-30 person) screening rooms - this is what theaters want to be when they grow up.

The Big E

Reviewed By Sburris65 - Simpsonville, United States

The big E in Gaffney serves as a halfway point for my dad and I and we get together when ever the newest horror movie or other movies we both want to see are released. And the Big E is a great place to catch a movie or make a whole day of family fun. This place has everything to keep the whole family entertained for hours no matter what the weather outside is. Inside there is a bowling ally, slides, bumper cars, and arcade games. On the outside there is mini golf and a rope course. And of course what I am always here for..the movies. There are about half a dozen theaters. The seating here is stadium seating giving you a great view no matter where you are. Chairs are big and comfy and one thing I really like is..they keep the temperature at a comfortable level. In most movies I end up freezing no matter what the weather is outside. My dad and I enjoy the movies here and have never had any issues here. I can't really speak for the games offered here since I really am not into those things. But my brother and his family come here for the movies for that reason. So they can enjoy some games before the movies start. And I am going to really put an effort to come out here and meet one of my friends for a girls day out and have movies and mini golf. Because the golf and the rope course look fun! But when I am here I always see people enjoying the other activities here. Also they do a great job of keeping this place clean. I never see a sea of popcorn strewn about from the concession to the theater. Movie prices are generally cheaper than else where around. And on Monday they are $5 all day long! We normally go on Monday during the day and it isnt crowded at all. But we had to go on a Saturday during the day for Joker and it was packed. They are very accesible for everyone. Bathrooms are also always nice and clean. They have plenty of parking. They do run kids movies during the day in the summer. They do host birthday parties here and they do have event space. And another great thing about them is the location. They are located behind the outlet mall. So there is plenty of shopping there. And if you are looking for more than popcorn before or after the movies..there are places at the outlet mall to nosh. There are also some sit down restaurants including Cracker Barrel. There is a rug and home outlet on the corner that has some beautiful things for your home. And right across the road is Hamricks (a large chain of clothing stores) which always has some amazing deals. Go on down that road and you will see an old school house where you can stop and take pictures and then there is the big Peachoid and Fatz right beside of it (I have seperate reviews on both). This is at exit 90 in Gaffney and the next exit down at exit 92 also has loads of dining options. They are about 30 minutes from Spartanburg. So for some one stop family fun..stop in at the Big E in Gaffney.
