The Best Movie Theaters, According to Filmmakers

If you’re a cinephile, there’s a good chance you have a favorite movie theater. Whether it’s a massive multiplex or a cramped indie theater, you’ve got a spot where you go to discover your next favorite flick. And so do Hollywood’s most famous filmmakers.

In a recent video, Academy Originals asked a group of actors, directors, producers, and other industry professionals to share their favorite movie theater. Steven Spielberg, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sarah Silverman, Seth Rogen, and more weighed in. With a few exceptions, most of them listed theaters in New York or Los Angeles (though San Francisco’s Castro Theatre also got repeat mentions). A few favorites included New York City’s Film Forum, the Paris Theater, and the now-defunct Ziegfeld, as well as Los Angeles’s Cinerama Dome, ArcLight, and Cinefamily at the Silent Movie Theatre.
