A great local theater! Staff is friendly and the popcorn is tasty. They have a great selection of movies that usually don t get screened at the chain theaters. Their best feature is the various special programs and events they hold throughout the year. My favorites are the midnight movies they show every Friday and Saturday night. The selection of movies for each month is usually based on a specific theme or genre. The theater itself is also gorgeous and well maintained. If you have the chance to see a movie here, do it!

What a classic place near and dear to most Bostonian hearts!! I love coming here every now and then for the nostalgic movie theatre feel. They are also always playing great independent films. It s not like most theaters with the sexy new and modern reclining seats and no one is going to bring you food. You come here for the historic feel (it s been around since 1933 I believe) and the quality independent films. They also do fun midnight classic movie premieres! If you re a movie buff, you have to go here!

Coolidge Corner Theatre promotes rare films and offers some film classes, which makes it an institution more valuable than other theatres still in operation. My only objection is that they temporarily blocked me on Instagram, when I complained about their promotion of the film "Totally Under Control" two weeks before the election. I rightly noted it is a propaganda film designed to identify a strawman and convey to audiences that one political party is on the side of truth and justice.

Classic movie theater with a modern sound system. Compared to other theaters in this format, Coolidge definitely has the acoustics closest to the modern standard. Midnight screenings have a unique atmosphere with each crowd.

Friggin love this theater. Easy parking, though it is paid depending on what time you get there. They tend to show movies that aren't playing elsewhere as well as some quirky stuff that I didn't even know existed. For example, an ad for "Cat Video Fest" was posted in the theater and shown before the trailers started which seemed like a fun hour or so. They do serve alcohol in the lobby that you can bring into the movie theater, which as a non-drinker I'm not a fan of, though I'm sure most people would find fun. I've never eaten from the snack bar but they definitely have the normal snacks as far as I can tell. There is a CVS next door if you want to purchase your own snacks - though beware as I don't know what their policy is for bringing outside food. Lots of nice restaurants around for grabbing a meal before or after the movie. Usually a homeless person is around this area in the evenings, so bring some spare cash or whatever if you're in a generous mood. Overall, safe feeling atmosphere as long as you're with a friend - as is true for most places in a city (coming from a female).

This is a nice small cinema with a good selection of movies. Prices are fair! However, a couple of not so good points.. very difficult to get someone with a wheelchair or other walking aid in and seated comfortably.
