All the indie films fit to watch while you sip booze and eat vegan cookies and great popcorn . Phone reception sucks, which is fine because you should be watching the movie .

Kyle Osborne

Cool staff . Great snacks includes the Crab Pretzel . Beer & wine available. Great movie selection. It costs 11 bucks to park in the garage--look for metered (and free after hours) spaces along 11th St.

Larry Fulton-Woods

This is my favorite movie theatre. The staff is friendly and professional and they show really great films .

Vesper A

Great theater and not overwhelmingly large, and a wonderful selection of smaller films . It has parking and metro access as well as food and alcohol selection.

BROADS

One of the best kept secrets in the nations capitol, showing first-run independent and foreign films , along with midnight screenings of the Rocky Horror Picture Show there's always something to watch!

Shawn Cook

My favorite theater in the city . Tons of kewl indie films . Great snack options too. Always clean with friendly staff .

Claire Corbett

E Street Cinema continues to be the best around. Awesome staff , great atmosphere, dead zone for phones (love it!), good food and drinks.

Amy Cummings

The popcorn is outstanding, but make sure you get there early enough to wait in line for it—especially on a weekend night!

Regina Phelps

Check out Rocky Horror show on Friday or Saturday nights at midnight..way fun! A cast acts out the show in real time with lots of audience participation...and of course dress up opportunities for all

Gelinda

Films from Studio Ghibli will be shown again 3/8 - 4/13. Great films . I've seen all but two from the line-up. #anime #StudioGhibli

Gelinda

The popcorn is wonderful. The bags are compostable. Recycling bins can be found throughout the theater. There are a variety of delicious food options.

Yong Kwon

Best theatre in DC. Good beer and great food options

Ed

Great theater. They serve alcohol with a one drink limit but they'll pour two drinks into a single cup. Make sure you consider how badly you don't want to miss parts of your movie for bathroom breaks.

Ananda Leeke

One of the best places to watch great films like Pariah and The Iron Lady is Landmark . Saw Pariah last week and The Iron Lady yesterday. Both were AMAZING.

Brandie

Really lovely theater with an old school atmosphere.

Sandy

No cell signal, and awesome concessions makes this theater a great environment for movie watching.

Mrfantastic8000

Go here for the serious movie buff crowd! Cool place.

Crystal U.

This place has Crabcakes , Wine , Sweet Potatoe Fries , Beer , Pretzels , & Caramel Popcorn ! Totally Awesome ....

Thomas Pruitt

The midnight movies on Fridays and Saturdays are great, even if the people will give you flashbacks to college D&D parties in the quad.

Parking validation for this theater happens on weekends. We were there on a weeknight and realized this fact. Love this theatre!

Design Vibez

Our fave DC cine for film festivals . Never been? Let the 2011 DC Shorts Film Festival be your initiation. Oh, and check in/check off this tip BEFORE you go down; service is a negative.

They serve local dc brews at their bar . Theaters are small & intimate

Tyas Febiani

Favorite cinema in town . Save $3 from the regular ticket price by showing your student ID. Get the slushies , too!

Claire Rivkin

My favorite theater , really good vibe and movie selection.

Clay Vickers

Only the first showing of the day (sometimes at 10am or 11am) counts as a "matinee" for matinee pricing.

Peter Charbonneau

Great indie cinema . Friendly people, alcohol and a nice selection of non multiplex films .

Brooke Harding

Love this theatre. They have a student discount too!

Michael Lambert

Perfect spot for all of your arthouse, independent and documentary films .

No cell coverage once u head downstairs. Heed their warning about downloading any e-tix before descending!

Vashti J

Small theater, so buy ahead of time if you can. No cel phone service downstairs either. Get a class of wine to enjoy with your indie film :)

Bobby Ray

This is my favorite indie film theatre in The District!

Great Spot....And the alcohol is nice

The popcorn is a must try. Remember to ask for the butter to be layered.

Stephanie Chan

Clean , reasonably priced alch + it's nice and chilly inside! Downside: Chair arms in the theater #5 are immobile. Not sure if the rest are like that.

“From the Back of the Room,” a documentary that chronicles the last 30 years of female involvement in DIY punk, will have its D.C. premiere Wednesday at 8pm Tickets are $10.

Gynx Mack

this is the place you go with your best friend, a thinker or someone that you are trying to bone .

Clifton Film Fest

A lot of limited release indie films play here. You also can enjoy beer and wine while watching.

Paul Travis Klein

You can buy two beers at a time and have them put it in one big cup to circumvent the one beverage per ID rule. Also, ask for the beer of the month.

Catherine

Buy tickets in advance since they sell out pretty frequently!

Mischa B

Parking garage elevator takes you directly into theater.

Marc Ross

Order your tickets in advance online - shows often sell out.

Ashleah Youn

Crucifixio Jones

Just discovered this awesome indie movie/foreign flick theater that serves alcohol . A TRUE movie lover's dream.

Josiah Lambert

Investing in the gold book of tickets here was one of the best things I've ever done. A weekly tradition.

Stacey

Great indie/foreign film venue. Small and cozy , AND they serve beer and wine . Perfect combination of awesome.

Kate Langsdorf

It's $22 to park in the garage long enough to see a matinee. Take the metro. (They also serve beer & wine , so all the more reason not to drive!)

Francene

You can't say anything bad about a cinema that serves tequila shots! 2 thumbs up!

John Henry Boes

Get your parking ticket stamped by someone at the theater!! It'll save you $5 on parking .

The best movie theatre in town. Period. It's a pop up but I hope they make it a perm spot. Cool lounge with a good selection of wine, beer, snacks, comfy seats, not overpriced, great art house movies. - banafsheh ghassemi
