Beautiful theater, with thoughtful, excellent programming. The concessions are eclectic, delicious and cheaper than the big box movie theaters. Just go, even if you haven't heard of what's playing.
Newly opened cinema with healthy snack options and a restaurant and bar upstairs. Very eclectic selection of films, and very few showings.
Beautiful cinemas with plush comfy seats
Film selection is curated so well! Love the size of the theater, the previews, the movies, the general atmosphere
Come for the movie, stay for the MFA cuties at the downtown screening center that V adores. Read more.

Film Society at Lincoln Center really has some wonderful films, related to festivals and beyond + their staff is helpful and friendly too... relatively similar price to mainstream theaters tho!!
Try to get a series pass for the best deal. Remember to check in (4square) outside since the theater doesn't have AT&T reception inside.
If you have time before or after the film, have dinner at Lincoln Ristorante on the Plaza right over the bridge. It's superb!
This theater screens some of the best in independent cinema. It also screens great anime from time to time, both new and classic. It's a great place to catch great films.

My absolute favorite event at IFC is the Academy Short Films. A must, must, must for everyone.
One of the best cafes in a nyc movie theatre. Great selection so be adventurous!
Seats so old the springs poke your butt. Movies so good it's totally worth it.
Our design team spends many Sunday afternoons here watching international and indie movies for inspiration.
Super cute theatre. Small but cozy. Very friendly staff. Would definitely return to see another flick!
Shorter than I expected but free wine and chips goes a long way.
Edgy, eccentric cinema
I just discovered this place. I like the cozy and homey vibe of this place.And the concession stands rocks...
All movies should be lucky enough to be screened in as gorgeous a venue as this
Beautiful film center home to three screens. Special promotions with Indie Food & Wine include Dinner & a Movie for $25 select screenings. Great relaxed atmosphere.
Try the Creamy Cornmeal Polenta - Wooooooow! I really dug this one! It came with homemade arugula-walnut pesto and fontina cheese.
Sit near the front as the elderly patrons tend to snore in the back
Average age of movie goers is 75, so don't talk once the lights go down or you'll get shh'd.
Great programming, nice theaters, cafe is good too.

Indie and international cinema
a really lovely screening room. downstairs from the main lobby.
A gem of a theatre. And there's a balcony.
The ultimate date-night destination to see a movie. If you really want to impress your date, try to snag a seat on the balcony - the view is great!
A great place for a unique movie experience. The theater has a really vintage feel to it and shows only one movie at a time. Try to be seated on the balcony where you will have the best view
Old school theater with modern comfortable seats
Watch a film in Auditorium 1 upstairs - it's one of the most beautiful theaters I've ever been in.
The right spot to indulge in 1920s glamour and amazing architecture designed by Louis Jaffe and inspired to Moorish Revival style.
Grab drinks/food from the 6th floor bar & enjoy the latest movies quietly. Super comfy chairs/foot rests & sweet candy for all. Most importantly, no kids! :)
Boots off the furniture. !!
Grab candy from the 6th floor (better selection) before the movie. Comfy seats and blankets too!
Good sound of course but comfy reclining seats too. No food or drinks. Inside an office building.
Best sound system in a theatre I've ever experienced! Gravity was awesome! 🚀
The sound quality in this theater is excellent and it's also a 3D theater.
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
