Films as they're meant to be seen. From Chinatown to Melancholia, each print I've seen has been crisp and bright . No hair/scratches; pristine sound. Film is an art form, and Lightbox is its gallery .
Take in a movie at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Don’t forget to visit the retail store to pick yourself up a souvenir in advance of the next Toronto International Film Festival .
fantastic place 2 c films from around the world, classics, filmmaker talks & cinema history exhibits .During TIFF it is plentiful w/excitement & screenings, clearly toronto's entertainment hub!
Always have interesting films and they host the Inside Out LGBT Film Festival every May so they either love the gays or love our money but either is fine with me.
Stop by Luma on the second floor for a great place to grab a drink or a snack after a movie . Excellent atmosphere and food, and quieter than the ground floor.
Experience the digiPlaySpace at the Bell TIFF Lightbox until April 23rd. A wonderful change to play with robots, learn about coding and other digital technology for the young and young at heart.

I rarely go here but in those rare occasions - they NEVER get anything right! 3 pm is the only time box office is open and it took the attendants 30 minutes to sign in after coming out at 3:05!
The best cinéma in Toronto, especially if you like independent movies and a glass of wine to go along with it

Check out the display of artifacts from the archaeological excavation of the first Toronto General Hospital . It's on the 4th floor in the lobby of the Film Library .
Enjoyed the ambience of the theatre, and the staff are super friendly .
I am Dale Vander Woude. I have visited TIFF many times. I don't think that it is a bad place to go. I enjoyed there with my friends.
I love the Blackberry Lounge . Grab a glass of wine , hook your laptop up and crunch out some work while people watching on King St. P.S. This place is wired beautifully!
Two restaurants on the premises makes it a good place to meet people before or after a show.
You can't really beat Sunday brunch on the patio after church , followed up by a matinee.
Try to get there a bit early as the concession line tends to be a bit slow - but worth it with outstanding baked goods in addition to the usual movie fare! Read more
Getting my picture taken on the Iron Throne (+ a free DVD thrown in) - freakin' cool. Finding out there's a Miyazaki film fest (+ tons of Ghibli goodness at the gift shop ): friggin' awesome.
A fresh new venue that is perfect when you need a theatre and party space. From the lobbies to the malaparte they are all fresh and new
This place takes a "movie date" to a whole new level. Cute location & building, and the Kijiji cafe adds a little pizzazz!
Fancy place to see movies before hit the cinemas , save some cash by buying in groups or combos
Great lunch menu in the Canteen. Wifi too. The Sweet Potato Fries from the Appetizer Menu are amazing!
Check out TIFF's great year round programming - from favourite movies like an American Tail to classic Hitchcock films , TIFF Bell Lightbox has something for everyone!

Their film series showcases are always great, like that time they showed a bunch of Nicholas Cage films
yes it's overrated and overpriced but its the only place of its kind and a definite must for anyone with filmic and/or cultural tendencies
The Film Reference Library is a valuable resource for scholars, filmmakers & the general public . The extensive collection of materials make it a rich source for everything cinema !
State-of-the-art building. Great movie screenings all year long, regardless of the TIFF.
Great venue. Quality projections.
Be certain to visit the Film Reference Library . It houses the world's most extensive English language collection of Canadian film-related material.
Good place to hang out and watch a movie ????
The staff is Prettttty f'in pretentious . But i guess i shouldve expected that
Very nice movie theatre specialized in art movies
The monolithic $191 million headquarters of the Toronto International Film Festival , held each September, is at the heart of downtown.
There are two unmarked washrooms hidden behind the escalators on the main floor. Handy if the ones upstairs are busy.

They don't serve fountain drinks (bottles only), and only have pepsi products. So you might want to sneak in a bottle/can of Coca-Cola if that's your style.
Grab a free popcorn when you show your TIFF Bell Lightbox Check-in to a concession staff member on April 16 (Foursquare Day).
Probably the cleanest theatre in the city with great cheap concessions.
Easy going, good food, great service, not stuffy, cool crowd. Careful with the falling window :P
Home of the Toronto Film Festival . A warren of escalators and screening rooms.
The upstairs bar is good for people-watching over king street with a cocktail .
must must walk on the red carpet and watch the huge display on the wall when u sit in your seat close your eyes and imagine....
There's a phone charging station on the 2nd floor near the concession stand
Love beet root salad. Added salmon with salsa verde - yum! - Jessica Auyeung
Sunday brunch is fantastic. Both the Eggs Benedict & Omelette were spectacular. Fresh fruit juice (grapefruit & apple cider) were great too! Good alternative to busy Canteen downstairs. - Jane Man
The baked brie is delicious, but grab a high top or sit at the bar it can be a little messy if you sit at a Surface table. - Petula Neale
They always have a selection of indie films. I would say, go here if you’re more of a movie buff. The theatres are smaller and cozier than most. Which fits with their film selections. - Cara Lau
Don't worry about the long lineup. The theatre is huge. Even if it goes all the way to Gould street and beyond - Kevin Suter
Excellent, view from back of first balcony was great ;) - Marika T
Great deep fried cheesecake (and I usually don't like deep fried desserts) also steak salad is delicious! - Wahida Lakhani
