  I love this theater and have been going to movies here since 1982. I saw one of my all time favorite movies here during it's initial run back in the early 80s - Another Country. I'm glad SIFF bought the theater after it closed because it would have been sad to lose this Seattle original to new development. The hand made ice cream sandwiches they carry now are awesome!

  Not a theatrical viewing experience. The sound quality at this theater is very very poor, I saw two movies here recently and sat once in the center and once in the balcony. The balcony sound system or lack thereof made the experience unbearable. The house a/c ducting overpowered much of the ambient noise in the film. This might be a good theater for a novelty showing of Over the Top with Sylvester Stallone, but not for any sort of critical or intentional viewing. One star for effort.

  Awesome vintage theater. The seats are a little old and the armrests are fixed in place, but I don't think there's a bad seat in the house! I had accidentally purchased tickets for a showing Saturday night and showed up Friday night. The staff was very understanding about my predicament and was able to revise the booking for the next showing! As others have mentioned, the concession counter serves beer. Ticket and concession prices are typical.

  The Egyptian, like the other SIFF Cinema theaters, is a charming place to watch films of all kinds. The options for food, snacks, and drink are also plentiful - yes you can get alcohol here before your show. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. The movies are chosen carefully and with a lot of thought - they show a lot of the timeless films here and it's something I really appreciate. Worth getting a membership and supporting all the great things they do here for film and the people who love and appreciate them!

  Friendly staff. Expensive drinks, but good local ginger beer. Nice theater. Good sound. Spacious with comfortable seats and balcony seating as well. Good for movies and has a stage for live performances. Good experience here. Apparently, if the ticket guy recognizes you, he'll let you in for free. Didn't happen to me, but I heard it happens.
