Silent Movie Mondays presents The General at the Paramount Theatre in Seattle on Monday, July 27th. This can be a great way to shake up the start of the week. Picture it, you walk into a grand theater that's got some popcorn machines and sodas to put you in the right groove. You make your way into the main hall to locate a spot that's going to allow you to see this 1920s classic in its full glory.

The General was actually one of the first, if not THE first, movie in the action comedy genre. It features a humor that's set for the times. It's a little slow for some tastes, but it ensures that you're able to read the dialogue on the screen. It's a silent movie after all.

What to Expect from the Silent Movie Monday Experience at the Paramount Theatre

This tradition at the Paramount Theatre tends to evolve through the years. That means that if you come out to see The General, you might find some wrinkles that are a part of the experience in 2025. Usually, you're treated to some of the best popcorn in town, a limited seating capacity at the Paramount, and an iconic film in a format that you just won't be able to see again. From the smell of the popcorn to just the surreal feeling that you get by watching a silent film in a majestic theater like this in 2026, this is an experience you won't soon forget.

A Little Insight into The General, the Silent Movie

The movie is actually loosely based on a true story that took place during the Civil War. Even at that point, 1928, the story was considered more legend than fact. It served as the perfect plot to craft this action comedy type of film. Oddly enough, it could be said that The General is one of the first cult movies of all time. In the sense that it flopped at the box office, and had major repercussions for star and director Buster Keaton. Over time, though, it became a classic of the era.

Best Seats Inside the Paramount Theatre

The rules of finding a good seat at this performance are the same as those you'd apply to going to the movies. Usually, there's a limited section of the Paramount Theater that you can choose to sit in. However, it's a first-come, first-served affair. That means that if you want the spots at the back of the theater to see The General, you're going to have to come out here early on Monday, July 27th.
