This is a great venue if you are a fan of foreign films or indie movies. This theater tends to get movies that never make it to the El Paso theaters, plus the atmosphere of the plaza and the New Mexican food restaraunts make for a nice afternoon/evening outing. And any theater that has hot tea and carrot cake at... More

The Fountain theater doesn't sell wine anymore. no byob either, but still the only place to see real films. Get there early. The theater is small and can fill up fast.

Such a treasure in Old Mesilla, right next to Las Cruces. Whether foreign or independent "made in USA"films being shown, this is an experience not to be missed. After or before, we usually go to La Posta for dinner......a wonderful evening.

Yes, the people are very friendly and helpful. We perform with the BBRG almost every year. It is a cozy little theater. It fits Las Cruces perfectly.

It's like watching a movie in a 1930s theatre. Because it IS a 1930s theater. They also have fresh popcorn made from scratch with REAL BUTTER.

This intimite cinema house, tucked away on the very streets of southwest history, screens some of the most unique films, rare to commercial theater. Enjoy the antique architecture of the building itself while experiencing some of the most emotionally and intectually riveting films from all over the world. Don't miss it, because once you find it you can't stay away.

Beside the old Rio Grande, half a block from the 1800s Spanish-style town plaza in La Mesilla, just off I-10 near Las Cruces, the FOUNTAIN THEATRE is a RARE DESERT FLOWER! Offers independent, art and foreign films in a truly unique venue. Before or after the film, stroll around the plaza, enjoy a refreshment in an Old West saloon, or... More

The Fountain Theater is in an old adobe building with impressive murals painted on its walls. It houses the Mesilla Valley Film Society which shows high quality foreign and independent movies seven days a week. Its schedule is on its web site at fountaintheatre.org
