Cinéma Beaubien

It’s an old cinema, of course you won’t have the new Marvel or whatnot. But, it got a great variety of movies, they are funny almost every time. A classic vintage cinema. I hope it never changes.

Most of the movies they offer are local movies, in Quebec French, produced for a local audience, with local actors, local themes, and quite frankly boring like most of Quebec productions. The distribution of the seats is rather awkward, they are placed on a semi-circle rather than completely frontal to the screen, in a straight line, like in most of movie theatres. They could have been a bit smarter and leave some space for people to circulate, particularly those who will be sitting at the end of the rows towards the sides, who by the way, will be watching the movie from a lateral angle. If you are sitting where I was you cannot leave your row without bothering those sitting at the center since there is no way to et up and walk by the wall. The seats are not precisely comfortable, the arm rests are made of plastic so after a while my arms were numb. If you want a wider variety of independent films from around the world try Cinema Du Parc, owned by the same company.

Very nice Cinema. Spacious seating. Great popcorn. Very friendly staff! Nice big screen!

Cinéma Beaubien is very nice. It presents special movies. More like repertory movies. Majority of movies are presented in French. Something it's presented in the original language but subtitles in French or English.

Best place to see a movie with my GF
