In general, as with most things, the further away from downtown you go, the cheaper things get. With that in mind, some of the cheapest movie theaters in the city:

• Logan (2646 N Milwaukee) - By far, cheapest I've found yet at $3 all day (last I checked, correct me if I'm wrong). The catch - kinda scummy and tends to be limited to family-friendly movies.



• Davis (4614 N. Lincoln) - Best of all worlds - cheap, and run every type of movie from family to R-rated, mainstream to independent.



• Village North (6746 N. Sheridan) - also has free popcorn Wednesdays, if you bring your own container/bucket/trash bag to fill with it.



• Brew & View at the Vic (3145 N. Sheffield) - 2 movies for $5.

And if you haven't hopped on the Netflix bandwagon...
Cheapest Rental Places:

• Discus CD Exchange (2935 N Broadway) - Used CD/DVDs for sale and $0.50 DVD rentals (new releases slightly more).



• Hollywood Video (multiple locations) - $0.99 DVD rentals on Wednesdays (slightly more for new releases).
