Buford BarnesJuly 5, 2012Check- Buford BarnesJune 12, 2012Was the only exclusively silent movie theater in the world. Now it alternates themed screenings of recent films and weird events with silent era films. Check the schedule:
Get here early for a couch up front! Check out Doug Benson's movie interruption to see new films while Zach Galifianakis, Sara Silverman & more crack jokes from the front row mystery science style!
The StandardAugust 29, 2011CA (See,Do) The Cinefamily knows good movies and isn't afraid to show 'em. Make sure you grab a cocktail from the back bar before the movie starts!- The StandardAugust 6, 2010CA (See) They know how to pick 'em. If you are not in the mood for high brow, check out their Dumber in the Summer series Saturday nights! Read more
Get here about half an hour early to snag one of eight couches up in front. But make sure you bring someone with you or make friends with another loner - no singles on the couches!
Pauline BarrientosSeptember 28, 2010You can bring your own beer (hidden as a matter of respect), but they usually have lots of free cans on hand.
Legitimate projection cinema with dedicated and passionate professionals at work.
Unreal. They show the best cinema for movie nerds.
If you love uncomfortable seating and texting douchebags in every row, you'll be right at home.
for the best rock 'n' roll movies, DJs and Live music, come to Don't Knock The Rock Fest here every Thursday nite in July and August!
Become a member. It's a great value and supports cool cinema.

Stuart DavisJune 14, 2011Brilliant screening choices, this is going to become a regular spot for me! Read more

Please do not take out your cell phones during the movie.
Chris TrewOctober 23, 2010I come here to relieve the pain of a sad life in my gorgeous (but sad) apartment. My roommate Tony is mad at me and I don't know what to say to him anymore. Sucks. People just learn to not like me.
