Why did you become a Member?
To show our support for a movie theatre that shows foreign and independently made films. When we moved here in 2004 from the Los Angeles area, we missed living near a high-quality independent film theatre. Then we found Red River Theatres. Red River brings the best of world cinema to New Hampshire – with class and comfort.

Last Seen: Bow, NH
Favorite Western Film: (Doug) High Noon; (Lisa) No favorite, but enjoyed Red River
Why did you become a Member?
You can see films that are actually interesting and thought-provoking, unlike most films that are shown at the big box theaters. And we appreciate the small theater environment. It’s like the TV sitcom CHEERS — you walk into the lobby and “everybody knows your name!”
What is your favorite Red River Theatres memory?
We typically see a move every week. Oftentimes, Doug will stay to see another movie and ask me to pick him up after the movie ends. I feel like I am picking up a child at the school dance! We love movies, and this year, so many of the Oscar award nominated movies were at Red River and we saw them all!

Talking with audiences after screenings of “The Iron Mask” last spring.
Note: Mike composed and performed the score for this 1929 silent classic.
Mike was involved with Red River before the theater was built: Red River sponsored the first performance of the silent film Safety Last! (which Mike scored) at the Capital Center for the Arts in 2006.
Mike Poirier
Mike is a bank teller.
Last Seen: Concord, NH
Favorite Western Film: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Why did you become a Member?
I want to support a theater that plays movies that are INTERESTING, like the films in the Xtreme Series.
What is your favorite Red River Theatres memory?
I enjoyed watching Rubber, a move from the Xtreme Friday Night Film series. It was an incredibly funny movie that I wouldn’t have been able to see otherwise. The audience was full of people who were laughing right alongside me at the weirdest jokes I’d ever seen.
Scott Bulger
Scott is a photographer and educator.
Last Seen: Northwood, NH
Favorite Western Film: Unforgiven (1992)
Why did you become a Member?
It’s the place to see lesser publicized, but valuable films in an intimate and comfortable setting. A venue like Red River Theatres is valuable to the community, and is one that I want to help support.
What is your favorite Red River Theatres memory?
There are many, but my favorite memories are not the movies that I have seen there, (although The Hurt Locker was a memorable experience), but the people that I have met and the friends that I have made there.
