The entirely student-led and volunteer-run movie theater and film society has roots going back to 1932, making it the oldest student film society in the nation and perhaps the oldest continuously running theater in Chicago. Over the years, Doc Films has hosted famous directors including Alfred Hitchcock, Woody Allen, and Claire Denis, but don't let Doc's prowess deter you. They offer some very affordable movie prices at $7 per ticket or $40 for a quarterly pass. You can catch new releases or forgotten classics depending on the night.
