Get off the beaten track! See the films (and speakers) you can't see anywhere else in a small theatre that serves real butter with their popcorn! They screen classic movies in repertory and new independent artists as well.

Wide variety of independent, foreign, and revival films that you won't get a chance to see anywhere else on a big screen. The theater alone is worth a visit. It has a real balcony for one thing. Vastly different experience from sitting in a sterile multiplex that could be anywhere. Dedicated staff. The audience is usually composed of people who are enthusiastic about films and respectful of other audience members.

On Thanksgiving we went to see two Akira Kurosawa's movies shot in 1961 and 1962 (Yojimbo and Sanjuro) at Brattle Theater, which, perhaps, was the only public place opening on holidays. We are lucky and thank Brattle Hall for all this. It the sort of theater we have been longing for and love to sit at for all those unforgettable movies in the history. And it offers chances for fans like us to see these wonderful movies which can hardly be seen elsewhere in the world. And it's very convenient for us to park the car just along Brattle Street and have our lunch at Wholesome Fresh just opposite the street. And at the intermission or feeling high when seeing these pictures, a glass of great wine can be bought at the lobby! A very lovely and adorable place which may accompany us for the years to come!

I love, love, love the Brattle. They show the most excellent movies...classics to indie films and more and they often partner w/ the Harvard Book Store for author events. Ticket prices are very reasonable. The theater is cozy, comfy and clean. They also sell beer and wine which is a nice perk. The location is very convenient to the Harvard Sq. T stop for those traveling in. I can just walk there as I live nearby. How lucky am I? Oh and the theater is a non-profit. I feel really happy about supporting them because they do such excellent work and are an asset to our community.

Saw an interview with Rachel Dratch here for the Women in Comedy Festival. I was definitely surprised by how small and intimate the theatre is. Definitely a bit run-down, but a landmark nonetheless.
