movies

rio theater, monte rio

If you're in the mood for a film, there are several movie theaters in the area.

The Rio Theater in Monte Rio is a charming small movie theater situated inside a Quonset hut. They show one film at a time (usually family fare), host free community events (the Grammys, the Oscars, the Super Bowl), and serve up delicious breakfast and lunch (including hot dogs!) at the Rio Cafe next door.

If you're looking for a larger cineplex, try the Airport Stadium 12 in Santa Rosa, the Raven Healdsburg Film Center in Healdsburg, and Sebastopol 9 Cinemas, in...you guessed it - Sebastopol.

The latest independent and art films (and live opera and ballet broadcasts) can be found at The Summerfield Cinemas.

In the summer, enjoy movies under the stars at Moshin Vineyards.
