Burns Court Cinema

My wife and I went to a weekend special Cinema where Gus Molasses was showing Charlie Chaplin's masterpiece City Lights! Best decision we made all weekend:-) honest to goodness if the whole world could see this movie, I assure you the world would be a better place!

This is a great movie theater for seeing movies that aren't available at other cinemas. I really hope they open up again after the pandemic. They have a good number of independent films, and they seem to also get some high quality non-independent films in the mix as well. It's also located in a very interesting and beautiful part of downtown Sarasota with some nice looking architecture and unique local businesses like Owen's Fish Camp.

5 stars with some caveats....more of an “Art House” cinema, and it’s definitely an older theater, you don’t get the great comfortable seats, some awkward sight lines, but the sound is good. Beer and wine available, reasonable ticket prices, esp. if you are a member. Lovely part of town, parking might require some luck and timing. I’m just a fan of their overall “concept” or “mission”, so that makes me a happy member!

Cozy, clean, friendly. Love coming here!

It's a quirky little theatre in a little arts and crafts area. Perfect for, and wonderful selection of movies.
