angela gaylor: This is maybe the best movie theater in NYC. Reserved reclining loungers with tons of space. Although the recliners are clean, I always wear pants and long sleeves just in case:)
Tash Concepcion: This theater has reserved seating and super comfortable, super roomy leather reclining chairs! Hands down one of the best movie theaters in Manhattan.
courtney schiela: Amazing movie theater!!! Reminiscent of LA theaters. You get to pre-select your leather recliner seats
Mark Cohen: One of the better cinemas in NYC (a city that surprisingly has mediocre, often dated movie theaters); also a very broad selection of food and drink.
Nic Antoine: Resident or tourist, this is the best movie theater to visit in Manhattan. The interior is open and relaxing, the IMAX is top notch and everybody within is cordial. Going to the movies? Go here.
Erica Choi: Favorite movie theater! Lots of movie premieres here and celeb sightings. Really clean and all the theaters have special names!

Indie Movie Theater · Lincoln Square · 37 tips and reviews
Gothamist: Lincoln Center's in-house movie theaters are definitely the snazziest of the bunch, with funky paneling, super-clean seats and sleek LCD screens. Check out their dinner and a movie deal. Read more.
Anna Potter: Amazing theater, and great film fests. Right now I'm hooked on the Swedish cinema program. Bergman, Bergman, Bergman! (And Liv Ullman, HELLO)
Phoebe E: 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.

Zach vS: Best movie theater? Maybe. More importantly, movie theater that most feels like you're in a character in a Godard movie.
Tim Shey: For whatever it's worth, this may be the only movie theater in the U.S. serving carrot cake, rugelach, and smoked salmon sandwiches. (I love New York.)
Christina Blake: This place has a different vibe than the usual multiplexes. There was an homey feel to it. Besides popcorn,they served cake,cookies,brownies,juice. thoroughly enjoyed my experience.The place to go.

Mischa: Is super nice, I mean what else would you expect from Lincoln Center, just remember is the LC so only art or foreign films. The indie-food works, it's not the cheapest tough.
Time Out New York: The best theater to see a movie that will change your life hosts new art-house titles (at its Elinor Bunin Munroe Film Center), rep series and beaucoup festival offerings. Read more.

SeatGeek: Make sure to take in the great interior architecture including the metallic lion stage right of the balconies. I love the seats in this venue, movie theater style!
Rolling Stone: The Beacon began as a movie palace in 1929, and has since hosted artists from the Rolling Stones to Bob Dylan. The Allman Brothers' regular stints here were immortalized on "Peakin' At The Beacon." Read more.
Lina Gonzo: Beautiful old theater. Good for smaller bands.
