    Best independent movie theatre in Boston. The venues and the seats are old school but very clean. They show a wide variety of art houses, independent, foreign, and classic movies all year around.

    Few places take pride in the magic of the movies like the Coolidge. They carry some of the best new selections, along with older classics (check out their schedule for special events).

    Make it a priority to see a flick here instead of at an over-priced, oversized corporate movie theatre chain. The atmosphere is great and the movie theatre seats are extra comfortable.

    Charming, old timey movie theater that serves beer, wine and ice cream. They play indie movies + have screenings of old movies as well. You can't go wrong.

    Take a date night to Coolidge Corner Theater, one of the oldest cinemas in Boston to still stand. The theater offers mainstream, independent and documentary films.

    tickets to shows can sell out quickly, so get there with enough of a time cushion and just enjoy the atmosphere

    With a mix of first-run and independent productions, this theatre has been delighting audiences since 1933. Big names (including Meryl Streep) have been on recent panels. Read more

    The gold screen room speakers were incredibly quiet; don't hesitate to go downstairs and ask them to turn up the volume if you can't hear.

    The Coolidge Corner Theatre was built as a church in 1906, was redesigned as an Art Deco movie palace in 1933, and never closed its doors since then.

    Great movie selection. Don’t really like the kinda quasi-hipster crowd that usually frequents this place though.

    Best independent movie theater in the Boston area. They have really good hot chocolate to keep you warm in the winter. Also, check out monthly screenings of "The Room" starring Tommy Wiseau. Read more

    Auditorium 2 is my favorite, with a balcony-but-not-quite at the top. See a film there if you can.

    This place needs no tips. It speaks for itself. But fine, here's one: you can get beer & wine to watch with your movies. Can't beat that!
