For more than 50 years, from the earliest days of silents until into the 1970's, the Ritz Theatre was the place to go for movies in Downtown Brunswick. In 2007, GIAHA brought films back to the theatre, and the response was tremendous. Now movies are a regular part of our programming and the Ritz is once again the Grand Old Cinema in the historic downtown district.
Check this page for updates of film programming throughout the year. Titles and dates my be subject to change; please check our home page, calendar, local listings, and this page for any updates.
