Callicoon Theater

"Another fun evening at the Callicoon Movie Theater! It is a treat to be able to see a movie on a giant screen in such a historic building. The popcorn is always tasty and you can choose from water, juice, soda or alcoholic drinks."

"Always so sweet and cozy. I do miss having someplace to put my drink when I'm there, but it's a vintage sort of local theater so I'll forgive it that. Recently had an event for a popular movie with triva and a costume contest. They have a stage, and had a mic setup and it was really fun and wholesome, even with a mostly adult audience. The prizes were very thoughtful, and encouraged everyone to enjoy themselves rather than be competitive. Lots of people spilled out to the front walk and were talking to each other. There's only one screening room, and usually it seems they only have one showing per night, but it makes it feel like a special event. But more accessible because you don't have to drive hours to the nearest big franchise theater. Plenty of places in town to enjoy the night out before going to the theater. More likely to talk to a stranger who was in the theater with you watching the same movie as you were, even, or especially, if they aren't a local. Let me take a moment of nostalgia, just to say, it takes me back to when I was in elementary school and many of our class trips were to see movies here. I remember Tuck Everlasting especially, because we had read the book in class right before it was released."

"We saw the theatre while having lunch in town the other day and decided to stop by for a date night. It is a single theatre and from the moment you enter you can’t help but admire its character. For an old historic theatre it is extremely well kept. The lobby and design of the theatre holds historic elements of a theatre while providing up to date quality. Popcorn was delicious and they had different types of salt, like garlic and ghost pepper which was such a pleasant treat to add. Theatre is surprisingly huge from what it may seem from the outside. Projection/screen is one of the best I’ve seen. Employees were sweet, warm, and friendly. I think I will come back to this area just for this theatre"

"As a history buff I had to stop by the old theater in town. Showings are limited but try to go if you can! The theater is amazing, they even have real butter for the popcorn and offer chocolate egg creams for drinks. My inner child was born a 90 year old from Brooklyn so this made my day! Staff was friendly, place was clean, and the movie quality was excellent (the theater is old but the equipment they use is all newer and digital)."

"Honestly, I like this theater for simply existing in a small charming town. I love the colors of the building and the signage looks great. It's tiny, and I believe it generally only has two showings a weekend day. Sign says it's closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays."
