IFC Center

This is probably my favorite place in New York City to see a movie. Seats are wide and comfortable. They show neat shorts before the movies. The crowd here is well behaved (though I can't speak to the midnight showings). Restrooms in the basement are generally cleaner than at the chain theaters. Concessions include real butter for popcorn and they have Old Bay seasoning on offer. Also check out their movie directors as metal band logos t-shirts.

Movie theaters like IFC Center are part of the fabric that makes New York City so great. You'll find independent films and festival darlings here. All those movies that your suburban counterparts have to wait for or rent digitally nowadays, you have at your fingertips. The theaters are small but comfortable enough. Get some food to snack on at the concession stand near the entrance.

Screen sizes vary from a good main screen to a small screen, but all seem in line with what brings the people. A solid collection of indie and classic films get played. You will never find the latest blockbuster, but IFC has carved out a niche that is hard to replicate. First and sometimes only theater to get some movies, it's worth checking out.

Tiny little theatres for intimate screenings of awesome indie films. They show some crazy shorts before the films too which are definitely out there! Fun flicks that aren't played at the bigger theatres.

The old Waverly. Expanded, 5 screens. Wide variety of films including docs, avant-garde and classics. Easy access, "A" train to W. 4 stop. They care about movies.
