Castro Theatre

A beautiful movie palace , one of the few left, and a very civilized place to see a classic movie , or zany place for a sing-a-long. Get there early to enjoy the mighty Wurlitzer!

Castro Theater is downright gorgeous. Lovely. Old-school charm. It's even got a mighty Wurlitzer organ . Aesthetics aside, they host some of the finest film festivals in the country . Read more

Beautiful old movie theater with ornate decorations and a Wurlitzer organ , one of the few left, and a very civilized place Often plays campy films , classic films ,

Amazing theatre with baroque stylings and a pipe organ played before every show and during silent films . It’s one of the few places to see things on film . It has plenty of seats and is always great.

This famous landmark still plays some of your favorite films that are not shown in other theaters anymore. Also this theater is that it still has a WORKING Wurlitzer organ played by a great organist .

A beautiful place to see a film , not just for the beauty of the building, but for the enthusiasm of the crowds that come to it.

The Castro Theater is grand w/ gilded cornices, murals & a gorgeous ceiling. We enjoyed an early dinner @ Fables before the 8:00 PM show, The Kinsey Sicks Twenty Years. Great venue, fantastic show!

Love everything about this place. Great movies and events and, beautiful theatre, and a true gem for the city . If a movie you like is playing there, go!

Beautiful old movie theater with ornate decorations and a Wurlitzer organ . Often plays campy films , classic films , and deliciously tongue-in-cheek double header pairings. Iconic marquee.

It's grand, it plays movies , hosts talks, and illuminates your spirit with lavish stage performances . It's a good mix of old and new movies , right by transportation and full of jovial people.

The little mermaid sing along is super fun. They give you props like crowns, wands, soap bubbles and more and the atmosphere is great.

www.WhiteDino.com says, amazing architecture and design inside, bring your camera !

A rep house with a massive pipe organ . Still played every night before screenings! In the 60s and 70s, the dark, vertiginous balcony allowed men to kiss and touch in relative safety and comfort.

The 3D here is really good. Much better than Theater 1 at the Kabuki. (I've seen 2 movies at both.) And tickets are cheaper. And it's a beautiful theater . 

They play lots of your favorite classics here so be sure to check out their schedule online; some shows are hosted by (your fave) drag queens .

Waiting in the ticket line , save for special events , is for chumps. Get there in the middle of the previous showing, buy tickets then go for a meal.

Once a year or so is the Sound of Music Sing-A-Long. I highly recommend finding the dates, getting a costume and buying some tickets to this great event !

The Castro Theatre is home base to the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival , the first of its kind in the country (started 1988) and the largest of its kind in the world.

This historic landmark is one of the most beautiful theatres in the city . Visit it for a number of different cinematic experiences, even sing-along showings!

This theater is a history lesson in movie going of days gone by. Make the time to experience this palace dedicated to film .

Balcony . First row center. Best seat in the house. This place is a jewel. One of the best movie theaters in America.

Get here as much as motherfuckn possible. Pre/post grab a martini at Twin Peaks and people watch . For the film grab a beer from across the street.

Great Fri & Sat place to impress a date and/or out of town friends. Classic films redeux. Audience participation sing-a-longs and a whimsical organ player pre-screening.

Marc Heustis and Peaches Christ bring some awesome events to this space. The in-house programming veers toward family fare. Always come early for an organ concert .

The southeast Asian film festival . A genre I enjoy and the love story in this film was poignant.

A dramatic movie theatre – showing revivals, foreign & indie films and even sing-along movie musicals . As recommended by Travel Channel host, Anthony Bourdain .

Beautiful theater and amazing, huge screen. Lovely staff . A great experience all around.

Get to popular events 1-2 hours early. Line can go around the block!

Go ahead, splurge on the organic butter popcorn . Pro move: take extra salt packets for mid show dousing.

Beautiful SF landmark which is a movie house as well as live performances . Sing-along sound of music is a tradition. -Yigit Pura, Top Chef Just Desserts

an iconic SF venue. seen many films & events here. last one w/ Scorsese presenting his “Irishman”.

A must see beautiful theater .

Amazing 1920s movie Theatre.

Popcorn is unsalted (salt is next to the snack bar .) you can get real butter on your popcorn . The snack bar is cash only .

The most beautiful theatre around! Love their singalong showings!

Iconic! Must see it if you go to beautiful SF!

A gorgeous, historic theater that tends to show good stuff.

Gorgeous theater. Find an excuse to go see something here - film festival , Peaches Christ , whatever.

The theatre is beautiful and the scene and sound was great. I had a great time.

Happy David Hegarty Day! Movie palace organist extraordinaire and San Francisco treasure

Organic popcorn with real butter!

Sing-a-long movies , Peaches Christ , and gays knowing every line to the classics. What's not to love?

Keep your eye out for major events ; they often host film festivals . So good!

Super cute theater! Loved the organ .

Stand away from the doors, keep the doors access I keep, don't block the sidewalk .... Maybe we needed a rainbow stripe to show us where we can't stand?

Ricki Lake was charming & fun. Pre-show w/Peaches & D'Arcy Drollinger & Company was hilarious.
