Movies give audiences a glimpse of fantastical things never seen in real life, such as talking dogs or trees. Revel in the wonder of cinema with today's Groupon: for $15, you get a movie package for two at Metropolitan Theatres (up to a $30.25 value). This deal is good at Metropolitan’s six Santa Barbara and two Goleta locations. Each package includes:

• Two movie tickets (up to a $9.75 value each)
• One large popcorn (a $6.25 value)
One large drink (a $4.50 value)

Family owned and operated since 1923, Metropolitan Theatres unspools blockbuster and art-house independent films at 19 locations in the U.S. and Canada using superior film presentation and digital sound systems. Theatre concession stands dole Coca-Cola products and detonate kernels of popcorn to fill bellies and share with encroaching Godzillas. Snacks in hand, customers sink into seats inside conventional or stadium-style theatres to laugh, gasp, and grimace at star-studded titles, such as The Grey, War Horse, or Hugo. Independent films such as The Artist and The Descendants appease creative tastes.
