Great cinema

by moviemight

This cinema always offers great movies and is in a great location. Loads to do in the area before or after the film. The audience is generally quiet and respectful. The prices are better than in Manhattan.

Best Theatre & Best Price

by sfrucht02

Theatre is a quaint little local place, tucked away off of Smith Street near the F/G train. The tickets are significantly cheaper than the rest of NYC, people that work here are nice. Who could ask for more? I've been here countless times and I can't remember having any negative experience. I'd even call it a romantic spot for dinner & a movie. It's surrounded by a variety of great restaurants, too. And there's icecream next door...

• Pros: Quiet, Out of the way, No chatter-boxes allowed
• Cons: Fewer Screen Means Less Selection

Best Theater from Brooklyn Heights to Windsor Terrace

by dlt718

Yes, it's a bit antiquated, and no, it doesn't have the most comfortable seats, but this theater has one thing I haven't found within a five-mile radius: QUIET PATRONS. In 13 years, I've never had a leave a movie (or even been annoyed) because of noisy, rude patrons. Unlike at the Court Street 12, moviegoers here don't need to have a running conversation with the movie characters or advise the characters what their next move should be. If you're sensitive to the fact that you can't behave in a movie theater the same way you do in your own living room while watching a movie, then this is the theater for you!

• Pros: Quiet, respectful moviegoers
• Cons: Average audiovisual system

bad experience

by film1001

i rented this theater for an event and it was a technical nightmare from the very start. the equipment is antiquated and not taken care of, the projectionists work in an unsafe environment (i.e. exposed wires), the sound system is old and the entire theater needs to be rewired completely, the management is rude and unwilling to accommodate very basic requests. do not rent this theater.

Editorial Review

Five-screen cinema in Cobble Hill that plays to neighborhood tastes with a mix of smart blockbusters and smaller indie films.

Handicapped? Call first

by alkaufman

Many excellent films that won't be showing at ordinary multiplexes, but there are theaters at various floors and no elevators.

• Pros: Good selection of artistic films
• Cons: No elevators and steep staircases

No Pretentions but good films

by tworuth

This is a basic nofrills movie house however the neighbors and fellow movie goers are fine adn the management is helpful and cares. They have set up special screenings just for my school as the printed time was incorrect and it would conflict withour buses.

The sound is good, previews relevant to the audience, just don't be late or you might have to sit really close.

• Pros: Inexpensive, friendly, wellbehaved audience
• Cons: seats, waiting outside

less expensive with great quality

by drewgart

have been going to this theatre a long time and have seen it from the crappy seats to all new seats in every auditorium. sound is great and the movies they play are always the ones i want to see.. try the popcorn, definately the best in the city.. Tues and Thurs is $6 for everyone all day. HUGE deal.. a negative is that u have to wait outside before the movie is ready since they don't have a lobby for people to wait in. i just show up 15 minutes before show time and usually get let right in..

• Pros: inexpensive, good movies, sound
• Cons: outside waiting

A Movie Lover's Little Gem

by tonytriche

Having moved to Brooklyn from LA 6 years ago, one of the experiences I missed about L.A. were the small cinema's not connected to the "corporate movie experience". I love the "in town" experience of seeing local neighbors at the movies, fresh popcorn, and a total amiable experience.

I never thought I could replicate the feeling of the Vista Theater in the Los Feliz district of L.A. until I took in a couple of features at the Cobble Hill Theater.

The seats are a bit old, but the sound system is great...but the best part they attract a very mixed but great audience, chock full of people who don't chatter and use cell phones during the feature. After the movie, there are a ton of small cafes and delis to enjoy a little after movie convo.

I highly recommend this theater to those who enjoya night out at the movies.

• Pros: sound, fresh popcorn, friendly service
• Cons: seats
