    We were excited to come here for the 20th Anniversary screening of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, showing on their biggest screen. But the aspect ratio of the screen was set for the wrong format and half the picture was being projected onto the black side curtains, destroying the cinematography. Nobody bothered to fix this until an hour past showtime when the curtains finally opened. I see a lot of bad reviews here about this theater being neglected and that was clearly evident tonight. A cinema that doesn't care about Star Wars is not a real cinema. Very disappointing.

    AMC Orpheum has been my neighborhood favorite for years. I used to live around the corner and I spent a lot of time watching movies in the winter. I returned yesterday to see the movie One Love. I was assisted promptly and the employee was very nice. My only complaint was the theater was very warm and stuffy on the bottom floor. There wasn't any air circulating. Otherwise it was clean and comfortable. I remembered what fun it is to watch on the big screen. The previews looked enticing. I went ahead today and updated my AMC Stubs Account. I'm planning to go on Tuesdays when I can get the best price for my seat!! I'm glad this theater survived Covid and I hope it remains in business. It's a short walk from my apartment!

    Used to love coming to this theater. Been in the area for a long time. It is 3 floors. The 2nd floor has no theaters on it just some games and advertisements for upcoming movies. The basement level has a few theaters and used to have a concessions stand. This stand has been closed for a few years now and its sad because if you want a last min drink or good and your movie is on this level you have to go back up to the top floor to get that. There are bathrooms and a water fountain on the basement floor. This theater has really gone downhill through out the past few years. They do not, at least not to my knowledge have recliner seats like most of the other AMC's have. It's not kept in good shape. As you can maybe see in one of the pictures here there is a small puddle on the floor and it just looks dirty. There is no sign that says watch out/ wet floor or anything. Last time I saw a movie here I saw a mouse in the basement floor theater. I know this is NYC but I have been to other AMC's and they are much nicer and I had not seen any mice or rats in them. Sorry to say when I can avoid going to this location of AMC I will.

    They have never responded to an email I sent them last week or to the complaints here. This AMC Orpheum theatre is disgusting! The AMC at Lincoln Center is perfectly fine (I saw Wicked there). They need new management at the Upper East Side location. Unfortunately, I did not photograph the filth on 86th and Third, but here is my ticket for the disgusting dirty diaperish-covered seat:

    It seems to be a popular theater. Unfortunately, it's pretty filthy and hasn't been renovated for decades.

    No they won't. They don't even check the theaters. Someone was smoking e-cig inside the cinema when the movie was on.

    Wow! Just wow. My husband and I came to see a movie on a rainy Saturday night and we were so…read moreimpressed with this theater! First, I will say that we purchased our tickets ahead of time to ensure we got the seats we wanted. We got them about 2-3 days beforehand, and it made everything a lot easier. When we arrived, we immediately got into the concession line as we knew we wanted to grab popcorn and some additional snacks. Because we hadn't eaten dinner yet, we also chose to get a pizza to share along with an Icee drink. These two items + a large popcorn cost us about $40 (oof!). So be prepared to spend if you want to snack while you're here. What we wish we would've known before arriving is that you can order your concession snacks via an app! We saw people walking in and going immediately to the "hot food ready" spot where they told the person their number and walked away with their pre-prepared snacks. Had we known this, we could've saved about 20 minutes of standing in line! This is a GREAT tip to remember, y'all! After getting our snacks, we made our way into the theater. Both my husband and I were in awe of the seats!!! All of them had personal "tables" that swiveled, allowing you to get into your seat then pull the little table in front of you so you can comfortably eat your snacks. The cup holders were massive AND, most importantly, ALL seats reclined back to a relaxing position! Not to worry, the row of seats in front of you is so low that when you recline back, you'll still be able to see the entire screen with nothing blocking it. Additionally, the isles of seats were pretty spacious. I got up mid-movie and had very little trouble getting out of my seated row, even with everyone reclined back with their feet up. Also, I wanted to note that they don't have a human that you purchase tickets from - you ca either but them online ahead of time (like we did) or you can purchase them at a kiosk when you first arrive. They do have a customer service desk if you need some help, but just keep this in mind. We live pretty close to this movie theater and look forward to seeing more movies here in the coming months!

It was built by the French distributor Pathé as a showcase for the film industry and opened its doors at 4 West 58th Street on September 13, 1948. Located across the street from the iconic Plaza Hotel, north, and Bergdorf Goodman, south, it is Manhattan's only remaining single-screen cinema, and largest movie theater with 535 seats. The elegant theater, with its distinctive Arte Moderne style became a première cinema venue for the best films from around the world. Over time many hits such as: Zefirelli's 'Romeo and Juliet' 1968 (Italy), 'A Room With a View' 1985 by James Ivory (UK) , et le film 'Belle de Jour' 1967 (France) directed by Luis Buñuel, were introduced to the United States with an introductory theatrical run at our beloved Paris. Currently, the streaming platform, Netflix operates the cinema giving new life to the ultimate landmark of New York's multi-cultural movie theatre attendees. As Netflix's New York flagship theater, the Paris is the home to exclusive theatrical engagements, premières, special events, retrospectives, filmmaker & actors live appearances, while offering a wide range of unique screenings and noteworthy Q&A discussions. The Paris is truly New York's première movie palace for cinema lovers! Merci beaucoup. Enjoy!

(Click on my Substack for more Baumbach thoughts including my brief interaction with the auteur, as awkward as many of his finest scenes). You may have heard about the successful company that helped destroy movie theaters by pivoting to "content" meant to promote purchases of high-end TVs and nice couches. (Related, I went to Best Buy and didn't recognize anything. Is that a thermostat? A stereo? A smart garden hose?) This company was so successful, that after Knives Out was heralded as single-handedly reviving non-Marvel film, its sequel was withheld from the theaters it allegedly saved. (BTW, if you were planning to tell me to watch the amazing 53-part Quibi streaming series about The Golden Age Of Hollywood, don't bother). But after Netflix helped destroy theaters, it did a nice thing. It's one of those ironic moments like the purse-snatcher scene in Jay Kelly. It signed a lease that helped the Paris avoid the fate of the Ziegfeld and a million others, in a world where the AMC theaters that destroyed all the independents have been suffering themselves. So, while it was vile that Netflix thought Roma should be seen on TVs, it was nice of them to show it at the Paris, especially for the unusually vibrant sound. I saw Train Dreams Saturday. I suppose, like the kid in Squid and The Whale, I am a philistine. I wish I could praise its morose existentialism but I'm not quite on board. However, I did appreciate the majesty of the northwestern fires and falling trees in this venue. There was no assigned seating; not sure if this is just temporary, but if they keep that policy I might be obliged to overlook Netflix's evil and upgrade to 5 stars.

The museum is conveniently located just a few blocks away from the Steinway M/R subway stations. There is also street parking in the surroudning area.

So many interesting movie and TV-based exhibits throughout the museum's second floor. Great explanations of and insight to the film-making process. The make-up/prosthetic area was particularly interesting which currently features "The Exorcist". There is also a great current exhibit on the Sopranos, diving into the making of the hit television series, taking you through some of its iconic locations. The Jim Henson exhibit was also great and takes you through his decorated career and his contributions to various shows like Sesame Street and the Muppets and movies like The Dark Crystal and Labyrinth.
