Justin OrdovezaDecember 22, 2016Nice independent theatre that specializes in classic movies and independent films. The screens are small but the seats are comfy.
- I am by not a Kiera Knightly fan, although she gets props for having crooked teeth and no breast implants. However, this film was a thoroughly enjoyable. And I thought Mark Ruffalo was great!
- Great place for quasi solitary viewing during the day. Very comfortable seats and great film selection and festivals
TimelessnomadAugust 13, 2015Love that there is an artsy film house in Westchester. No need to head into the city anymore to see your favorite independent films!
Marti StewartJanuary 6, 2016Parking difficult. Many meters only 2 hours. Best to park in the residential neighborhood down Washington Ave, beyond the parking meters.
cafePellicolaSeptember 3, 2011Don't miss the annual Italian Film festival every June. You'll find a diverse blend of some of the most timeless Italian cinematic masterpieces.- After the opening night we went to Macarthurs with a dozen people to discuss the film with the curator of the festival. What fun.
This is a terrific movie house! Clean, well run, very courteous staff. And...GREAT movies!
Houlihan LawrenceMarch 19, 2012THE spot for independent cinema. JBFC also hosts discussions and out-of-the-box educational programs.
Eugene LMay 12, 2016I went here on a Wednesday nite & saw the last show @ 10:15 pm. Needless to say i practically shared the entire movie theater w/ 2 other strange birds like myself. Seats did NOT tilt back. 👎🏻
- Michael G.July 21, 2010Best movie theater around. Most comfortable seats and they show great movies!
Jess LauAugust 3, 2014People who don't live nearby should know these theaters are tiny and they often sell more tickets than available seats. The worse is that they don't offer credit or refunds. Horrible customer service
- Best theater to see Independent films in Westchester County.
Saw Crazy Heart. Even though it was front row, all good. Such a cool theater.
Not sure what's up but theater 2 is starting to smell kind of rank. :-(
