    Callicoon Theater - The original projector from 1948, on display in lobby

    Love this theater!…read more Built in 1948, this huge (350 seat!) theater is vintage but has been fully modernized, with a digital projector and Dolby. They show a mix of feature films, including the big-name first-run attractions but only have one screen. Technical quality is excellent. The arched roof (built on wooden beams--like a wooden ship, upside down) makes it like a big tube and you get that big movie theater sound. I love the history and the lobby is like a little museum. The original projector, a carbon-arc, 16-mm film projector, is there next to a display case (which used to be the candy counter) with old tickets, signage, and relics of the past. The lobby has posters from old showings, like Godfather, The Graduate. The ticket booth and many of the furnishings are original but the place is very clean and well organized. Fun fact: Originally the Harden Theater, named for its founder, it became the Arden Theater when the H fell off the marquee and the owner didn't want to be bothered to replace it. We had a birthday party there and the owner, Kristina was very helpful. They showed a movie at 10:30 on a Saturday, then we had cake and snacks in the lobby, then went to a local pizza place. Fun place for a party and a great theater.

    It's a classic theater with a great old time vibe. Very clean. Family owned. I've been to it twice…read moreso far and looking forward to more this year.
