Belcourt Theatre

"Whoever is in charge of programming needs a raise and recognition for their ability to select films that would ensure I would visit multiple times a week. Whoever wrote "cinema is dead" has not been to the Belcourt where nearly every screening I went to in two months was at least 40% full. That doesn't sound like much but considering that the capacity of their two biggest theaters is about 330 and 250, that's still about a hundred people sitting comfortably enjoying a film the way the filmmakers intended it (on a big screen). Sure you can stream Casablanca or Amelie at home but have you ever enjoyed My Dinner with Andre at the theater the night four inches of snow brought an entire city to a standstill for a week? The saddest part for me was saying "no, I'm not a member" each of the 13 times I visited this blessed establishment. The second saddest part was leaving before their upcoming screenings of the Before trilogy (all three in one day!), Fassbinder's BRD trilogy (all three in 35mm!!!), and Freaks and Total Recall (at midnight!!). How fortunate Nashville is to have such a wonderful theater dedicated to exhibiting films that are sure to please any moviegoer."

"An intimate theatre for independent cinematography and international motion pictures. Enjoy a good film and dine on surrounding multi-ethnic cuisines on the periphery of Vanderbilt University throughout 21st Ave. South. A worthwhile downtown adjacent experience with a well-balanced blend of studious scholars, congested urbanity, and vintage neighborhood aesthetics. Enjoy your patronage of the historic Belcourt Theatre and localize-focused vibrant community and eclectic businesses."

"Already been here twice… Grateful to see American Fiction being given a chance to shine. Staff and concessions are on point. I’ll surely become a member."

"This is the best theater in Nashville! As far as I know, it's the only one that shows independent films. I've done many a double feature and it's got the classic theater feel. The staff is always incredibly nice and helpful!"

"An art house theater in Nashville. I’ve only been to the Belcourt Theater twice, but I love the dedication and care from the staff. My first visit was to see Clerks 3 with Kevin Smith in person. Mostly recently I went to see the Depeche Mode 101 concert film. As someone that enjoys watching movies on the big screen Belcourt is a great place to do just that. The staff loves movies and are passionate about what they show. This particular event was a staff pick and before the movie started we were treated to what this staff member loves about the movie, why he picked it. His enthusiasm was welcomed. The presentation was great. The sound and picture were top notch. It was a great way to experience this movie, especially since I had never seen it before. I did leave the theater reminding myself that I need to make a point to support this theater more often."
