....Charles
              Theater Baltimore       One of the two surviving theatres in Baltimore built before 1950 ( that only shows movies ) . The Charles is doing well, and along with the Senator Theatre, are the only two theatres on this survey in Baltimore City that still show movies, besides X rated theatres. The Charles has been showing " art films " and films you won't see at the mall theatres, and have quite a following. The Charles recently underwent a renovation, and has several different screens today. I saw several films at the Charles back in the 1980's, and I have to admit it was quite a fun place to see a movie. Back then it showed it's years, but the movies were always fun and the variety of films they had were nice.
