A movies that is missing from the list is perhaps my favorite: “Ray”
For “trilogy” I’d vote for “Bourne"
My favorite animated is "The Incredibles”
My favorite foreign language movie would be “The Lives of Others”
I understand from other reports as to the following:
New digital projectors have been installed in the original projection box at the Apollo, together with a very large collapsible screen.Audio systems are rigged and derigged for film events.
What I was saying is rodents are everywhere. The management at the Uptown is not stupid. They see their problems & deal with them. AMC isn’t monitoring this site, so you likely won’t get a more specific reply. But, don’t think, exterminators or not, that ANY theater or other place is always rodent free. Show up at any place…..and you will see the most resilent creatures on earth.
Why not open the question to all cinemas, new or old? or restaurants, hotels, the Metro, outside, etc.
I visited a week ago for “Avatar” and as always, truly enjoyed the spectacle of seeing a movie on the huge screen with a great sound system, in such a large auditorium.

All the website links above have an “h” as do my own notes from attending a movie in 1998. Is there a photo link or other link that you can point to that didn’t have the “h” for this cinema?
I also sent this in as homepage news, but yours arrived 1st. My news had a different link, to the Washington Post article with a photo of the damaged former theater. View link
Yes, a Washington Post reporter telephoned me today, because I had written the introduction above. I suggested she contact Bob Headley, the author of the wonderful book “Motion Picture Exhibition in Washington D.C.”
you don’t ID where you are, but here in the Philadelphia area almost every movie theater showing mainstream blockbusters is operated by a chain, especially Regal and AMC. There are choices for arthouse films.
Nonprofit theaters in Philadelphia area most offer popcorn and soda for a grand total that’s much less, like $6, than for profit theaters. The for profit chains expect you to pay $10 + for the popcorn and soda, and that’s too much. You can get an entire meal in the nearby Food Court of the malls for less than that. What you should NOT do is expect to bring that entire meal into the movie theater. Eat it in the Food Court, where the smells & clean up are the responsibility of the Food Court or the trashcans there.
Yes, people (not me) sneak in a bit of candy, and no, no theater operator is going to do a body search.

Are those the ones you mean?
In feet, how wide do the smallest appear?
Thanks, I didn’t notice the page says “Closed.” Of course, it should say Closed/Demolished. The theater building isn’t there anymore.
Rev, your name request makes sense to me, and I’ve sent it in to the right person. Within 24 hours, it will likely get done unless a problem emerges.
All the website links above have an “h” as do my own notes from attending a movie in 1998. Is there a photo link or other link that you can point to that didn’t have the “h” for this cinema?
Tough crowd!
Congrats to Christie for obtaining the contract. Keep up the good work.

Some other chains have the same matinee cut off time but I sure hope you didn’t pay $8.50 for a hotdog, JodarMovieFan!
