- One of my favorite movie theaters, does a lot of cool screenings many of which with the director doing a Q&A afterwards. If you can't go out, many of their films are streaming simultaneously on VODUpvoted Feb 16
- Will SchollApril 5, 2015Some more obscure indies than at other nyc theaters. Membership is a good value if you like going to midnight classics and go often enough to make the free popcorn per visit worth it.
- Awesome curation. Go see a Q&A and ask a famous person a silly question. Go upstairs and see what vintage film posters are on display
- Berk KapiciogluJuly 14, 2014Friday and saturday midnight screenings feature popular classics (e.g. Indiana Jones, etc.). Even if you watched it on TV, watch it again on the big screen, because it will be better. Trust me.
- Fantastic selection of Indie movies. Every year they have Oscar nominees for The animated, live-action, and documentary shorts. They also host Q&A sessions with directors and actors sometimes.
- KiraAugust 17, 2015Great theatre. Expensive ($15 tix for nonmembers) but you're supporting awesome independent films that aren't shown many other places. Conveniently right next to the ACE.
- Clare LynchDecember 23, 2015Great selection of independent movies, fun series including midnight showings. Seats aren't the most comfortable but ticket prices are surprisingly reasonable for New York.
- Chris RaghoobarDecember 23, 2015This theater screens some of the best in independent cinema. It also screens great anime from time to time, both new and classic. It's a great place to catch great films.
- Try to get here early as there’s no assigned seating and even the most obscure screenings can sell out.
- Buford BarnesJanuary 28, 2014It was the theater that originated the Rocky Horror midnight screenings, when it was the Waverly Theater. Sadly, it hosts those no longer, but is still a great place for independent film.
- Victoria U.February 16, 2015Always has the movies you should see. Every February they host the Oscar nominated animated shorts! While you can watch them online, nothing beats seeing them on the big screen.
- Berk KapiciogluJuly 14, 2014This is where shadowcast was invented and Rocky Horror Picture Show became a cult phenomenon. If you are lucky, you can still catch a shadowcast of Ghostbusters performed by the Minions of Gozer.
- Rosie VallakiaApril 26, 2015Finally got to go to the IFC with my bestie! Totally coming back next month for more movies! Place is SOOO comfortable and clean. Bathroom is extremely clean which is a bonus! I wanna go back! :3
- River RoseMay 17, 2012Nothing wrong with this theater. Has the best popcorn in the city and always a good selection of films. Fantastic places to have dinner in the area and Washington Square Park. Perfect date spot!
- Some theaters are smaller than others so make sure you get to your movie early to find a decent seat.
- Mariano MoranSeptember 13, 2016Really great movies on exhibition. Great screens, comfortable seats, nice attendance. Check out the film directors/metal lookalike t shirts.
- An NYC legend. A fantastic independent theater that shows lots of great documentaries and has delicious popcorn with real butter
- Basically IFC Center is a film-buff's heaven on earth. Comfy seating, great quality projection, loud sound, and excellent selection of films.
- Lori LuoJanuary 24, 2015One of the few Indie movie theaters in Manhattan, you'll find the hard-to-find films being shown here. Tickets can be reserved online.
- Check out the line-up of independent movies here! You'd be surprised at what art-house, foreign or other genres of films you'll find here. Also, you're supporting an industry of hardworking ARTISTS!
- Jessi SevillaJanuary 21, 2018Comfortable seating, old school movie theater but super nice!! 👌and a huge variation of independent and foreign movies
- Robbie JonesAugust 26, 2015The best Indy theater around. Private bathrooms in the second floor lounge can't be beat.
- Lynda Newkirk/WatersSeptember 22, 2013I really love exploring what the IFC Center has to offer this is something that I always wanted to do I can cross it off my to do list thank you for having me see you again real soon enjoy your day!
- M BSeptember 13, 2013Cozy theatre, organic popcorn for those who care, everything pricey but that's NY and a movie theatre for ya
- Ryan EickMarch 14, 2016Love this theater. Small and intimate screening rooms make for a truly immersive experience here
- DoubleDeuceFebruary 16, 2015Smaller budget films. Cozy space to see a film though. Don't plan to hang out here though, there's no space for that.
- Theaters really vary in size and some have better views than others. Very comfy seats, though.
- Chaim HaasNovember 20, 2011Catch "Being Elmo: A Puppeteer's Journey." This documentary is incredibly inspirational and is a must see, esp. for those of us who grew up with The Muppets and Sesame Street!
- My absolute favorite event at IFC is the Academy Short Films. A must, must, must for everyone.
- LisaAugust 31, 2015Small but the movies they host are larger than life. Go and expand your heart, mind & heart
- home of the weirdest movies ever! i love this place, but they need to carry nachos at the concession. don't forget to check out their stylized heavy metal tshirts =D
- Terry S.August 20, 2014Great place - comfy seats, clean, nice staff, reasonable prices. Oh and good films!
- Gregory FisherNovember 4, 2018Theaters are small, so show up early for seats or you’ll end up in the front rows.
- Scott HuestonAugust 13, 2013zipper was amazing. Film captured the story about the politics and money behind the callous changes to Coney Island.
- I can't get enough of this place. Beautiful theaters and they play the best movies you won't see anywhere else. Stranger than Fiction on Tuesdays is a great doc series. Darn good popcorn too. Read more
- Popcorn isn't cheapest but tastes okay. Typical NYC movie prices but you can get a membership for discount tix. Love the midnight movies
- I love independent films and this is the place to watch them in the city
- SundanceTVMarch 26, 2012See a great film here before it makes it's way to our air. Don't forget about Waverly Midnights to see anything from The Holy Mountain to Birdemic to They Live
- The best popcorn in NYC guys. Real butter. All that matters. And other amazing snacks and treats.
- Cheryl ClementsFebruary 4, 2015Some of the best movies in the city, in the worst seats but they have real butter!
- Erin MurphyNovember 20, 2014Each theater is super small so get there early if you want to get a good seat.
- Elliott TomesMarch 22, 2016The IFC Center does a great job of bringing in directors and documentary subjects for audience Q&A.
- dean collinsDecember 23, 2015Really liking the NT Live plays being shown here -
http://blog.collins.net.pr/2015/12/live-theatrein-over-2000-worldwide.html - Bruno ZalumNovember 4, 2013I would have never thought I'd say something that ridiculous, but the organic popcorn are just amazing.
