It is indeed a hidden gem in the city . The screens may be a bit smaller than the regular large chain theaters but it makes up for that in the comfort you get being there. Highly recommend it ☺

Matheus Abner

Cozy place,nice popcorn,cheaper tickets. If you are going to watch biggest blockbuster from summer may be not the best place because they have small screens ,like a home cinema ,although it's great.

Can't beat 5 dollar flat Tuesdays. Small theatre rooms, but sometimes they have a piano player in the lobby while you wait and ok movie posters for sale with a minimum 2 dollar donation .

Matthew Saliba

My favourite cinema in Toronto. Best prices for first-run features, indie flicks and foreign delights. Friendly staff ,nice intimate rooms and very few if any commercials before your film .

Samantha Lui

I love this place. While the theaters are small and the seats aren't very comfy , there is always a great selection of films from mainstream to indie. Cheap and can't say no to $5 Tuesdays!

Matt Campagna

Such a fantastic cinema for quality films and premieres with a true Silver-Age theatre experience!

Dagger and Arrow

Most theaters have $5 Tuesdays...the con's heavily outweigh the pro's on this one The screens are TINY. Good if your feeling nostalgic. Cheap popcorn with free refills and also a pianist in the lobby

Becca Gilgan

Clean and cozy , being here is like watching a movie in your own living room. Cushy seats , a smaller screen, and they sell alcohol !

Josh Holliday

When watching the movie keep your cellphone away. No texting or checking the screen. You're not that important. If you can't go 2 hours without looking at your phone, stay home. Thanks.

Russell Holley

One of the most affordable theatres in the city . They play old favourites and serve booze. What more do you want?

Shurraj Rao

Tuesday $5 dollar deals can't go wrong. Seats are surprisingly comfortable enough to enjoy a movie .

Robin Johannsen

Serves beer and has cheap popcorn . You won't get the highest quality movie experience but I love it anyway.

Terrence Clark

Go on the cheap Tuesday. I got the movie plus popcorn ???? and a coke for $10.

Cheap discount movies on a Tuesday and cheaper than other cinemas for regular days!

Joel R

Possibly the saddest theatre I've ever been to in my life, with the creepiest crowd. But it has a charm in its charmlessness that cannot be explained

Chris Davies

Friendly staff and great value for low cost

Get here early on Tuesdays, surprisingly people really like paying only five bucks to watch a movie

Simon

Super comfy , cheap and intimate . Great venue.

Brad Dicks

Bring cash! Cash in hand means shorter lineups when it's busy.

Kay Cee

Great place, amazing staff , reasonably priced movies

Leah Swartz

hidden gem . Cheap movies , and the inside isn't too bad. Nice for a quiet evening of movie watching without the huge crowd.

Do the math! You'd be amazed at what non-perishable items you can get there in larger quantities, rather than less for more $$ just because of the store/label! - Jonny Blaze
