We love that the Clairidge theater often has lesser-known films, foreign and indie films. And when you are seated in one of their larger theaters, its mostly a good experience. BUT there is at least one theater within the Clairidge that is absurdly bad--the seating area is not very many rows deep, and is much too wide. If you dont get there among the very first patrons, youll end up sitting MUCH too close to the screen or much to far to the right or left to really enjoy the film--its vertigo-inducing to have to watch a film from such a distorting angle. Its extreme enough that I cant believe that anyone forced to sit in those areas is charged full-price. Its truly awful. On one occasion, my husband and I had to sit apart from each other, or sit in a spot together where neither of us could really see the screen well. I dont think we would do that again--wed more likely ask for our money back. I cant imagine what possessed them to create a room so badly designed for viewing. Greed, maybe? I dont know. But they should have gone with one less viewing room, rather than force patrons to sit in that one. But again, the rest of their viewing rooms are fine and perfectly comfortable. They do get some very good films, as well.

Nice indie theater in the heart of downtown Montclair. You can enter from either Bloomfield Ave or Church Street. The lobby before entering the theater is unfinished and a bit dark. The theater lobby itself is small but clean. Popcorn is fresh and the attendants will butter it for you. Most of the offerings are super indie; documentary; foreign films; low-budget films with known talent; and classic films reshowings. The theater screens are not terribly large as and some are on angle like this to the seating. Seating is comfortable and has some recline to them. The auditoriums are generally well kept but some of the patrons can be trashy.

This is one of the best theatres I will ever go to. Its clean, quiet, well-maintained, etc. The only drawback about it is that parking is not perfect. Otherwise, I would be happy to go back.

For Life is Beautiful. This is a decent place for indie movies, although newer theaters have started showing them on a bi-weekly basis.
