this movie theater typically shows under the radar indie and foreign films. It can be a bit hit or miss but often you can find real gems.

Saw Joan Rivers' movie and last night wen to see Life During Wartime. Small theaters with cushy seats! Become a member!

Best popcorn ever. Order w/o butter 😋

Don't miss midnight showings of classic and clever flicks. Jaws in the winter is a must!

If you can't get your hygiene under control, please stay home so that other people aren't forced to get an enhanced movie going experience.

See a "Roadshow" event and watch films the way they always intended to be seen. CHE and THE RED RIDING TRILOGY were hopefully the first of many to follow.

Great selection of films.

The intro (don't talk, don't use your phone) is frustratingly long.

Like having an ongoing film festival right in the neighborhood.
Jessica BarnettJanuary 15, 2012
This place really knows how to ruin a good movie. Fire alarm went off three times, sound was turned off, and movie stopped for several minutes.

Theater five is tiny! Comfy though.

Organic popcorn sets this indie venue apart and it's rep as a hotspot for sneak preview screenings.

Get a season pass to Stranger Than Fiction - it's the best deal in the city if you're a doocumentary film buff!

IFC has great independent movies and documentaries
Gabe AJuly 9, 2011
Don't sit on the end of the row. There's no side or arm rest. You'll feel like you're falling off.
Alexia AnastasioOctober 10, 2010
Go see Idiots and Angels and get a free drawing if you go to one of the evening screenings
Daniel M.September 30, 2012
Movies don't always start on time. You might be waiting in line for a while.
