This is such a great venue. The location on Pine at Harvard is easy to get to (Link Light Rail, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 43, 60) even if youre unable to leave your car behind (

The Egyptian Theater is a beautiful venue to see a movie, but its time to upgrade the seating. I just saw, "The Girl with a Dragon Tattoo," a Swedish film with subtitles. Unfortunately, I had to constantly shift to my left or right throughout the film so that I could actually read the subtitles because the head of the man in front of me blocked the entire center section of the film. Its impossible to enjoy a film when you cant see it, or read the subtitles. It was a packed house, there were no other seats to move to, so it was an unpleasant experience.

An old and pleasant theater. This place is awesome. You can see the old structure and design of the building. There is only one screen but its big. The seats are really old and uncomfortable and might be replaced. The cafeteria serves beer and good popcorn buckets. The restroom is small. You should go to enjoy the experience. This cinema is usually used by film festivals.

Film Freaks spend several weeks a year practically living at the Egyptian, not only for SIFF - one of the oldest and biggest film fests in the US. - but also for special film fests like NOIR CITY - a one week celebration of all films noir. Thank goodness SIFF saved the Egyptian. It is the only old school movie palace left in Seattle!

Cool old theater! All the quirks and charm of an old theater with some modern retooling. Great new sound system, bathroom upgrades, and overall fun place to see a movie. Not fond of seats! So uncomfortable! My ass and back is dead by end of festival each year! No parking, street and garage nearby mainly.

This theater has character, and the people who work here know it. It isnt the cleanest, doesnt have the latest and greatest in tech, but it also doesnt pretend to be either. They usually host SIFF or SGLFF movies here too. They also bring old classics and cult faves for midnight showings regularly.

The seats here are ass destroyers and the grade of the floor is pretty low so you always have someones head blocking you. Those things aside the main draw here is that there is always something interesting playing that you cant get anywhere else, especially midnight showings.

Old theatre with an incredible ambiance. Perfect place for a unique movie date. The staff play interesting films that you sometimes cant catch in other theatres, and the patrons there are always courteous, quiet, and dont use their phones (thank you!).

Charming theater that focuses on foreign and independent films. Good for film lovers but lacking a bit in comfort and technology that you might expect, especially for the ticket price. But youre likely here for a film no one else would show.

This is a large theater. I dont mean it has a lot of screens, I believe it just has one, but the room where you sit is quite large. Other than that, its a theater. I get the sense they play a more select level of film here.

Beautiful old theater run by film purists and hipsters (the good kind). Good popcorn and excellent beer/wine selection. Everyone is nice. Membership worth every penny if you see at least one movie every other month.

Excellent seats EVERYWHERE, nicest staff, and awesome viewing experience. Puts together some of the best movie selection around, definitely for the person who likes things other than Transformers 9.

Ive always been a fan of the Egyptian. Sad day when they closed. But with the upgrades, this place is absolutely fantastic. Seats are better and (in my opinion) the refreshments are better, too.

This beautiful, historic building is a cultural landmark. The location couldnt be more perfect. Close to restaurants and bars if you want to make it a night on the town.

Beautiful theater in an old Masonic temple. Decor plays up the Egyptian theme. Showcases many indi films, some long after their original opening. Super friendly staff.

The Egyptian is a classic theater showing non run-of-the-mill movies. Plus weekend midnight cult films. If you like single-screen theaters, youll love this place!

Easily found parking within a block for about $10 on Saturday night showing. If I decided not to drive, the light rail station is a 5 min walk.

Conveniently located in the center of Capitol Hill, this movie theater shows a great selection of indie and international movies.

The venue was nice, but the cinema screen was smaller than a mainstream theater. This did not detract from my movie experience.

There is a majesty to the place, begging with best popcorn in the city. Feels like a film seen here belongs to the viewers

The place to go for midnight movies and cult classics as well as a main venue for the Seattle International Film Festival.

It has the feel of a 50s era classic movie theater, but with hi-tech video and audio technology.
