Movies at Michigan

It's a Thursday night, at the end of exam week, and I can tell you I am now exhausted. After a week of sleepless nights, caffeine dependence and knowledge overload all I want to do is to relax with a good movie. Lucky for me I have several options. Here are some of my favorite ways to watch movies on campus.

RHA Movie Channel. For those of you lucky enough to still live in the ResHalls this is a fantastic resource. Channel 56 is kind of like a campus HBO. Just this month there are multiple 2012 Oscar nominated movies and some great guilty pleasure movies. You can find the schedule here.

Askwith Media Library. This is probably my favorite resource on all of campus. I call it the campus Blockbuster. It is located on the second floor of the UGLi and it is completely free to students. You can check out movies for three days Sunday-Wednesday, for the entire weekend starting Thursday, and over the major breaks. They also have everything from new releases to old TV shows at Askwith for you to check out. You can find their site here.

Mflicks. Run through the University Unions, Mflicks offers several free screenings of movies a month. Sometimes they are more mainstream, sometimes a little more out there, but it is a great option if you are looking for something to do on a Friday night, you can check out the schedule on the website here.


Michigan Theater. A movie theater located in downtown Ann Arbor specializing in the "finest film and live entertainment available today." This includes mostly independent, art house movies, but there are still some more mainstream movies. It is also plays host to some great events like Sundance USA in Ann Arbor and live performances. The Michigan Theater is also a great destination for Ann Arbor locals. The website for the Michigan Theater can be found here.

The moral of the story is that there are a lot of options for movie options in Ann Arbor, if movies are your preferred of entertainment, you will never be bored here!
