  Legendary. Anthology Film Archives is not your Metrograph or Lincoln Center. It's old school. The lobby is freezing. The seats are threadworn. The audience is a mix of the elderly who saw the repertory screenings when they were first released and NYU film students (definitely prefer the former). Keeping film alive in NYC.

  The venue itself is ok, a little dingy, but also not the worst theater I've been to in the city. The seats were pretty uncomfortable and the bathrooms are weird and kinda gross, one of them had water on the floor (at least I hope that's what it was). The screen is nice though, and positoned in a way that actually allows you to see over the potential tall person in front of you

  A great community resource for lovers of film, especially avant-garde and independent and local filmmakers.

  Unique films shown in a very architecturally interesting former courthouse and jail, mysterious rickety spiral staircase included. Cheap for students, only $9 tickets, which is unbeatable in New York, especially for films you'll have a hard time finding elsewhere. Saw "A Man Vanishes" which was a movie that boggled my mind. Theater itself is average in terms of comfort of seats, but I felt that it was easier to see the screen from all parts of the theater, possibly based on chair positioning, possibly based on elevation of the screen, even if theres a tall man with big hair sitting in front of you (usually a problem for people of my height). No snacks, so sneak your own :)
