Denver boasts it's share of entertainment venues and the movie going experience is not left out in the least. Along with the standard mainstream movie houses like AMC, there are also several Denver movie theaters that focus almost entirely of independent films. While many of these theaters belong to some indy cinematic houses, such as Landmark Theaters, several of them are entirely on their own. This article discusses 3 of some of the best movie venues to experience independent films in Denver, Colorado and the surrounding metro area.
1. Mayan Theater
Built in 1930, the Mayan Theatre on Broadway is well known for its stock of independent films. If there is a well known independent film making the circuit through Denver, you can be sure it will end up being shown at the Mayan, which is part of Landmark Theatres. The Mayan has 3 viewable screens, located downstairs and upstairs, that can show films simultaneously, as well as a concession stand on each floor to enhance the viewing experience.
The Mayan is one of the most popular theatres in Denver for showing independent films and has been named 'Best Movie Theater' and 'Top Movie Theater Concession Stand' in publications like Westward and the now defunct Rocky Mountain News.

The Olde Town, located in Arvada, just west of Denver, but is part of the Denver Metro area. It is one of the largest Independent theaters in Denver. This old AMC theatre complex has 14 screens and was just taken over by Landmark Theatres in 2010.Because it is located in the downtown commercial district of Arvada, parking may be somewhat of a challenge, but the theater seating is comfortable, and it is a great location to do the dinner and a movie date combination. Even though the location is part of the Landmark family, the number of screens allows for some more mainstream films to be shown as well as a larger variety of independent films.
