Located at 120 Banks Dr., Mo vies at T imberlyne features six screens and is by far the most modem theater in Chapel Hill. Featuring a large lobby and con cession stand, Timberlyne is spacious and accommodating. However, on weekends with two or more films opening, tickets, as well as good seats, go fast. Timberlyne also offers what some of the older theaters in Chapel Hill do not the new Digital The ater Systems sound system. DTSgives the films at Timberlyne a crisp feel, and can make the sound so loud it can nearly blow you out of your seat. Plaza Theatres.

Chapel Hill’s store is similar to the Carrboro store, but the Chapel Hill store is a little bit smaller and less diverse. The PTA Thrift Shops also spon sor bag day sales about once a month where shoppers fill up a grocery bag of clothes for just $2. Parking in the area is hard to come by on the weekends, so you might want to visit during the week if pos sible. Chapel Hill and Carrboro are not exactly chock-full of consignment and thrift stores, owing to the excess of money and social climbing. However, if you have a car and the time to travel, you can build up a pretty cool wardrobe for less than SIOO.

When looking for high quality films during seasons of boring, ac tion-adventure films, the Carolina Theatre is the place to go. Chelsea Theater. The smallest the ater in Chapel Hill is the Chelsea Theater, 1129 Weaver Dairy Rd. Offering two screens, the Chelsea offers a simplistic atmosphere and presents films not unlike those of the Carolina Theatre. Across the parking lot from Movies at Timberlyne, the Chelsea Theater can be easily over looked but is worth finding. Varsity Theatre. Oneofthe oldest theaters in Chapel Hill is the Varsity Theatre, 123 E. Franklin St. Resem bling theaters of decades past, the Varsity offers a charm that no other theater in Chapel Hill comes close to. Two screens normally offering arthouse to break-through films gives the Varsity a broad spectrum of ap peal. However, the Vanity oftenholds a film for months and students are often left waiting for new films. Ram Theatres 1-2-3.

However, the Ram often gets films that no one ever wanted to see in the first place. Ram seems to often have problems with projection equipment, causing delays in broadcast time or total prevention of the film from even showing. But remember, you are only paying sl. So sit back, relax and remember to observe silence during the show and take crying students to the lobby. Expires 10/8/96 19
