Cleveland Institute of Art 11610 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland, OH 44106

"We live a block from a regular movie theater but the movies at the Institute are so much better than normal Hollywood fare that we plan trips to the city just for the interesting films. Nice venue, easy parking."

"Beautiful location, with a lot of careful planning gone into projection and sound. The selection of films from the past and around the world opens a lot of doors to you in terms of film as art and expression. I particularly enjoy their showings of cult classics around certain seasons, themes, or directors. Now, to explain the 4 stars. I understand this is an educational institution first, not an entertainment venue, but it wouldn't be a fair review if I didn't give my honest opinion. First, the seats are torturous. I'm a tall guy, the only other place that is so uncomfortable to physically exist in is an airplane. Lastly, no concessions that I'm aware of. Again, I know it's not that kind of a theater, but it would be nice. Especially if I could get a beer to numb the pain of those seats."

"After purchasing tickets online they then made us exchange them at the ticket counter so we could be registered for a $5 gift card. Very annoying. Security girl was worthless. She sat behind a counter and played a game on her phone the entire time. I don't think she ever looked up. Theater was clean, comfortable, and good leg room in the lower seating area. Well maintained restrooms."

"This is the BEST place in Cleveland to go see classic, foreign, and cult movies. The theater shows projections digitally and on 35mm film. Just check their schedule and it will say if it's on film. The theater has a strict no cell phone policy, so please be respectful because some people (me) like to watch a piece of art uninterrupted. They often have have different series of films. For instance, they just finished a series on the films of Jodorowsky, which I was fortunate enough to see 3 of. To save myself from rambling, go see movies here and, if you can, become a member."

"The Cleveland Cinematheque represents the very finest film and tradition of respect for film available in the Midwest. John Ewing with the assistance of Mister God has created the finest independent film Society I have ever encountered. If you are not a member become one if you have not seen a film here do so immediately."
