If you like real independent theaters, the Colonial is your best bet. If you like independent theaters that are part of the predictable corporatist faux-indie cohort, then vote for one of the other likely candidates. Except for the State Theater. They're OK, too.

There's something special about a movie theater that plays Monthy Python's Holy Grail and The Princess Bride :-)

Take a walk back in time. Nothing beats the nostalgia of this historic treasure. Popcorn is not over salted like all the other theaters. Great selection of restaurants in Phoenixville. A great night out.
