The only movie complex in the whole downtown area that still projects film . That gives the Siskel the kind of flexibility that makes their fare so eclectic . Read more

Check in on a Monday or Tuesday for the special: 2-for-1 tickets, free soda , free popcorn . It's like $18 worth of free stuff . Good for a cheap date night : intimate theater, comfy seats .

I love that they host events like the Black Harvest Film Festival but they have the most horrible seats. Folks end up literally between your legs because they lean back so far

2 Thumbs Up! Enjoy the best of independent, international and classic cinema at the Gene Siskell Film Center with a side of great film exhibits and treats at the gallery and café .

Pros: The films are great, as are the prices (if you're a member or a student), and they sell beer . Cons: The seats aren't very comfy and the entrance smells like pee.

Amazing schedule of first run films , retrospectives, and special programs. It's worth the money to be a member

Come for the fancy flicks , be sure to stay and mingle with 'the stars'.

Great movie selection, but super small screens.

A state-of-the-art theater that screens independent, international, and classic films .

Amazing film center great lineup of films .

Great filmmaker lecture series and one of the only theaters that still tries to show actual film .

Sadly, when the popcorn isn't good, it kind of ruins the movie going experience. However, they do screen a wonderfully diverse selection of films .

The membership here is totally worth it. $5 movies and 4 free popcorns is worth the $50 or so price tag. Best movie house in Chicago in my opinion: programming and venue.

Catch forgotten gems, art-house experiments, local features & fascinating docs. You’d be tempted to call them populist, but the intelligent line-ups never pander.

If you come here often, become a member and get discounted tickets.

Fresh hand-rolled sushi and sashimi prepared daily... Check out the all new Walgreens at State and Randolph!

It’s really a great juxtaposition of big cinema comfort – stadium seating, comfy seats , and nice screens – with interesting, hard to find cinema . Read more

Now open on Fridays for matinees at 2:00 pm.

If you are a film student, this is the best place to check out emerging filmmakers and top notch films ! -filmschools staff Read more

This is the best movie theater in the world.

Some are so bad... they are good. Overall best place for independant and student films .

Best fine art and indy cinema showcase in town

Smaller theater for independent releases

Priscilla Orr is always selling StreetWise nearby!

Popcorn has nasty palm butter, but tastes good. They'll try to tell you palm butter is ok. Tastes good but lethal.

I think they serve Hamms now? Awesome!

Dude in the office is HOT!!
