This theater is a theater lovers dream. Classic architecture, always plays wonderful smaller movies and has a staff that is incredibly attentive and personable. Should youve looking for a theater that is more about the love of movies and less cooperate, this may be the place for you. I enjoy this spot so much, I watch movies multiple times here. Their concession prices arent much cheaper than other places but no where near as expensive as AMC or Cinemark. Also, they leave movie posters out for customers to take home free. Definitely recommend a visit to this one.

Classic cinema in Berkeley - one of my favorites, especially because they do NOT play blockbusters, but rather more interesting European/foreign films. I hope they stay in business for many years! (only minor annoyance is they use brown paper bags for their popcorn, which make a lot of noise and disrupt the movie watching experience - ideally, they would switch to thinner paper bags that make less noise (compare to the ones used by AMC theaters)).

This movies theater is top of the line. The inside is huge and looks really good. Its not your classic move theater, but fairly different-- in a good and appealing way. The staff are friendly, the theaters themselves (the ones I experienced) are pretty big and look and feel really nice. The concession stands dont have too many options, but then again is that really why your there? Really greater place, you have to see it for yourself.

Some people go to shrinks, I go to the Landmartk Cinemas to get my head straight. The best Indie and mainstream flicks, and plenty of them. Ive seen more gems here than any theaters in L.A. or N.Y. Dont miss the ones that dont get mainstream publicity. Thank heavens for these Bijoux Palaces. And how wonderful to be able to see such great films during week days as well as nights.

Staff and management are a complete joke. Please expect least common sense from them. This afternoon the counter attendant at the snack bar handed me an OPEN cup of boiling water for tea, OPEN yes! Just with the lid on top. Without telling me the lid was on!!! Are you freaking kidding me???? Burned myself horribly and right after that, she offered me ice to put over

I like the theatre, but major fail on their part- the box office has no posted hours anywhere, no sign at the theatre, no hours online, no hours on the phone recording. Id love to know when I could buy tickets here, especially since I work late at night and can barely make the movies I go see. Its frustrating and unprofessional!

This is a very cozy movie theater, dont be intimidated by the Box Office lines because they tend to move quickly. The insides of the actual theater is quite smaller than the rest, they include large cozy leather couches and non stadium seating. You are able to bring you "Lot 68" drinks inside the theaters.

Features limited release movies that you wont find at a multiplex. Its walking distance from some really great restaurants and bars. The theater has a bar/ restaurant where you can take your cocktail in to the movie with. Order a double to last you through the movie.

Good variety, and a large number of screens, without feeling like an anonymous multiplex. Intelligent programming, good senior pricing. Recent upgrades have created comfortable seating and pretty good sight lines - it is an older structure.

Great Theater with Great Movie selection. However, it is slated for demolition. The Berkeley City Council has approved an 18 story monstrosity at the theaters location. The theater will be gone forever in the next few years.

Do you know where your theater is located? When are you going to fix your search results... why are you listing the Shattuck Cinema film at the UC Theater??!!! Its 5 blocks away and makes us LATE for the movie!!

i) Great Place To Enjoy Really Good Movies Which You Would Not Normally See On Much Bigger Movie Picture Houses -- ii) Sound Quality; Picture Quality Is Great And So Is The (If You Like Popcorn) Popcorn --

Nice place, even though the salons differ quite a bit. Just wished they was showing more movies, now youre kind of forced going to the other cinemas due to that they arent competing with whats showing.

Summary based on many visits: --good movie selections --comfortable, spacious seating --ok admission prices. Avoid the snack bar. --queues for tickets can be long --challenging parking

I really like this place. Nothing too fancy, neat faux-Egyptian decor, good popcorn, and the image and sound were fine. Keep your iMax and 3D; I just want to watch a movie.

This theater has an old time feel to it which makes for a unique experience. They usually have a different selection of movies running than the other theaters in the area.

Went here to see Fences the movie. It was very well done. I also saw the play Fences about 2 months ago at the Joaquin Miller Amphitheater. It was great then also!

Its not my favorite theater but they usually play the movies that dont play at the Grand Lake Theater. This theater looks dated and probably needs a renovation.

The theater itself isnt the best and neither are the snacks or its prices, but the movie selections are excellent! Can catch limited releases here frequently.

Nice older theatre with new seats. Showing films over blockbusters. In the heart of downtown Berkeley very close to BART. Lots of places to eat nearby.

The seating is cool. You get to sit in couches and theyre are really big bean bag chairs in the front, although they are too close to the screen.

Very sweet theater - not sure when it was built but I wouldnt be surprised if it was in the 30s or 40s. Sit in the balcony! They have couches

Theater has been here, since I can remember, even though it has been renovated, I still get this melancholy feel, from back in the day!

Probably my favorite movie theater in Berkeley. They have reasonable prices and even sitting in the front few rows isnt that bad here.

Saw Arrival...picture quality was not good. Looked like 1980s TV screen. Also seats noisy. Didnt want to move. Very distracting.

Nice theater, although it feels a bit old and run-down. Popcorn prices are kind of ridiculous-- it costs almost $7 for a small.

Nice clean theater, great staff, if your a drinker they encourage you to buy from the bar & bring it into the theater with you.
