Go to The Movies for the classic movie evening. The program is in between art house movies and blockbusters. The interior, smell and atmosphere will make a great impression. Read more

This small movie theatre is the oldest one in Amsterdam, and still going strong with the beautiful art déco interior that makes it special. Read more

It's an old theatre keeping the decoration. It feels cozy and it takes you back to the past. There are small rooms where you feel like watching a movie in your living room. It is a must go place.

Cute indie/mainstream movie theater . Always crowded , always very warm inside the cinema halls. Still very cosy for pre-movie drinks. Btw: Online tickets save a lot of time.

Samina Rind

Charming 100 yr old theater in the colorful Jordaan 'hood showcases leading and up-and-coming indie flicks . Nab a glass of wine from the bar and curl up in the cozy lounge pre or post show.

Salwan Finj

Cute little private theatre, nice snack bar as well ... lots of character and runs some new Hollywood releases and international films as well

Old fashioned movie theatre . Great for dates. Enjoy a bubbly prior to catching a movie ..

They don't sell popcorn here so if that's a must for you when going to see a movie , get a bag at Albert Heijn down the street.

The oldest cinema in Amsterdam. Old-fashioned? Yes. Step in and feel like being in a time machine.

Very nice retro movie theatre , and a restaurant in the same style.... if that is what you want..... just the wardrobe is missing.

A really beautiful old fashioned cinema that screens independent films with a restaurant/bar attached. A great place for a dinner and a movie combo.

Cinema 1. Best on Amsterdam soil!

Alper Çuğun

The place is always packed but the café is nice to sit in between movies . The coffee is decent but nothing spectacular (get that across at Two for Joy). Most fun: hanging out in front of the door.

David Iwanow

Awesome historical cinema

Extremely cute movie theater - the oldest in Amsterdam. The 3D glasses suck, though.

Please put an air condition in the saloon 3. We could hardly breath yesterday at Knight of cups.

Better than any concessions stand: choose the drink of your choice from the bar and take it into the zaal with you!
