Best independent movie theatre in Boston. The venues and the seats are old school but very clean . They show a wide variety of art houses, independent, foreign, and classic movies all year around.

Jenny Mackintosh

Few places take pride in the magic of the movies like the Coolidge. They carry some of the best new selections, along with older classics (check out their schedule for special events ).

Jason Feldman

Make it a priority to see a flick here instead of at an over-priced, oversized corporate movie theatre chain. The atmosphere is great and the movie theatre seats are extra comfortable .

Maya Mukhopadhaya

Charming, old timey movie theater that serves beer , wine and ice cream . They play indie movies + have screenings of old movies as well . You can't go wrong.

Take a date night to Coolidge Corner Theater, one of the oldest cinemas in Boston to still stand. The theater offers mainstream, independent and documentary films .

See the midnight showings on film during the weekends. Nothing like seeing jurassic park in theaters again. Also, become a member. We saved a ton during the year by being members!

With a mix of first-run and independent productions, this theatre has been delighting audiences since 1933. Big names (including Meryl Streep) have been on recent panels. Read more

The Coolidge Corner Theatre was built as a church in 1906, was redesigned as an Art Deco movie palace in 1933, and never closed its doors since then.

Jessica

tickets to shows can sell out quickly, so get there with enough of a time cushion and just enjoy the atmosphere

Hugh Guiney

This place is great for its Midnight screenings of cult classics and other curator favorites

Patrick Venter

Old school movie theater in Brookline. Large theaters for premier films . Highly recommended.

Beau Gunderson

The gold screen room speakers were incredibly quiet ; don't hesitate to go downstairs and ask them to turn up the volume if you can't hear.

Ali

Great movie selection. Don’t really like the kinda quasi-hipster crowd that usually frequents this place though.

Sahil Kathawala

Best place to watch indie films in the Boston area, great neighborhood too

Matt S

The Gold Screen is the only movie experience you need.

Ru Yu Wang

You can never go wrong with their choices of movies . Never seen a movie I didn't like here

Felipe Gorenstein Massa

Best independent movie theater in the Boston area. They have really good hot chocolate to keep you warm in the winter. Also, check out monthly screenings of "The Room" starring Tommy Wiseau. Read more

Jake Smith

Auditorium 2 is my favorite, with a balcony-but-not-quite at the top. See a film there if you can.

Thomas Kelly

Try to see a film in the screening rooms, they are beautiful and only see ~20 max.

aaron chio

This place needs no tips. It speaks for itself. But fine, here's one: you can get beer & wine to watch with your movies . Can't beat that!

Art Vandelay

For good seats, arrive at least 45 minutes early for The Hateful Eight in 70mm.

Lindsey Cohen

Fun, vintage old theatre vibe. Popcorn could use some flavor. Nice, hip employees.

Anna Loebe

Great experience all around! Not to mention the chairs are extremely comfortable

Jamie Lin

Saw Ex Machina in like a 20 seat room, which was definitely a good way to see it.

AskMen

Spike and Mike's Festival of Animation - it certainly won't hurt to enjoy these short films in, how should we put this, an “elevated ” state . ($9, 11:59 p.m., November 19th and 20th). Read more

They cut off the wine and beer distribution at 10PM

Go for a midnight movie . Shows everything from horror shockers to campy classics. Science on Stage series is great, too.
