Harkins Camelview is perfect for all times of the year, but especially those times of the year when nothing worthwhile is being produced by Hollywood (like after summer, but before December). Camelview brings to Scottsdale those movies you know you should go see, but need a good excuse to do so. Thankfully, it's located right in the heart of Sodale (South Scottsdale), across the street from Scottsdale Fashion Square Mall, and near plenty of restaurants and bars to visit beforehand or afterward.
The staff isn't extraordinarily friendly or welcoming (like you might expect at a local independent theatre), but they're not unfriendly either. Go there for the unique movies/documentaries and some popcorn, and you won't be disappointed...unless you don't like the movie, I guess, but hey that wouldn't be Camelview's fault!
