    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 VOD

    Some 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

    Friday 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.

    Great 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.

    Great selection of independent movies, fun series including midnight showings. Seats aren't the most comfortable but ticket prices are surprisingly reasonable for New York.

    This 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.

    It 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.

    Always 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.

    This 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.

    Nothing 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.

    Basically IFC Center is a film-buff's heaven on earth. Comfy seating, great quality projection, loud sound, and excellent selection of films.

    One 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!

    Smaller budget films. Cozy space to see a film though. Don't plan to hang out here though, there's no space for that.

    Catch "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!

    Theaters are small, so show up early for seats or you’ll end up in the front rows.

    zipper 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

    See 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
