The Somerville Theatre (http://www.somervilletheatreonline.com/somerville-theatre)
Built in the center of Davis Square, the Somerville Theatre has been open since 1914. Since then it has entertained the public with both independent and big-name movies, and has hosted the Independent Film Festival of Boston many times. Although there's no discount for students, the tickets are cheap at only $9 (for matinees, only $6!). It's also one of the few theaters in Boston that sells alcoholic beverages in the evening!
INSIDER TIP: If you're early for a movie, check out the Museum of Bad Art in the downstairs part of the theatre!
