"Movies, Five Cents" is a 1907 painting by American artist John French Sloan, a prominent figure in the Ashcan School of art. The painting captures a moment in the bustling urban life of New York City, reflecting Sloan's interest in the everyday experiences of the city's working-class inhabitants. The work is characterized by its vibrant depiction of a street scene outside a nickelodeon, an early form of movie theater where patrons could watch short films for a nickel.

In "Movies, Five Cents," Sloan employs his signature realist style to portray the diverse crowd gathered around the theater's entrance, highlighting the emerging popularity of motion pictures as a form of mass entertainment. The painting's composition, with its dynamic figures and the play of light and shadow, conveys the energy and movement of the city. Sloan's use of color and brushwork adds a sense of immediacy to the scene, inviting viewers to engage with the social narrative unfolding before them.

As a social realist, Sloan was deeply interested in the lives of the urban poor and the working class, and his artwork often served as a commentary on the social issues of the time. "Movies, Five Cents" not only documents an important cultural development—the rise of the film industry—but also provides insight into the leisure activities and social interactions of early 20th-century urban America.

This painting is part of Sloan's larger body of work that documents the urban landscape, and it is considered an important example of the Ashcan School's contribution to American art. "Movies, Five Cents" is held in the collection of the Detroit Institute of Arts, where it continues to be studied and appreciated for its historical and artistic significance.
