The Opera Plaza Theatre may not have the popular movies you see advertised on television, but for independent and foreign film lovers, this cinema is one of the best places to watch movies at. This theatre is built for people who would like a cozy, comfortable place to watch movies, as the small screening rooms (only two of them) only offer seats enough for maybe two dozen people, and the two larger auditoriums allow probably less than 100 people in each room. Most of the time, you will probably find only about a dozen people in the theatre with you, so you can enjoy the movies by yourself or with a few friends or a date. The Opera Plaza Theatre is one of the last places to catch popular independent and foreign films before they leave the Bay Area.

That it's guaranteed to always have a bigger crowd than say AMC, for example.
Last time I went here, there was a line for a new movie, skirting all the way down through the entire floor. Wicked!

This is a great local theater that is virtually unchanged from the 1950's! You can just imagine how this part of SF was filled with regular cinema goers...nowadays it's filled with immigrants who don't appreciate these types of things...too bad, we need more to go here to keep it open, one of the last!!

I do my laundry here sometimes. They have places nearby where you can shop and get things done while your things are being done. The owners of the place are fairly nice and always answer any questions you may have.

This was a very nice theater. I saw the Lion King here. The actors were very good, but of course they had been rehersing for a long time. The theater itself was nice and big, and the ushers were all uniformed and very sweet. They had souveniers and other little things to buy, but when I came in they had handed me a free bag of goodies. There were snacks and drinks/ other refreshments out for asle as well. Parking.. you will have to come by train or BART unless you want to park 3 blocks away..

Great theater! Great parking - convenient, but a tad expensive. Also, the gym I used to belong to, I believe, is at the same building. I say used to, because I've given up on that.
Now I eat hot buttered popcorn at the theater. Extra salt and butter please!

Having lived in the Bay Area for the past decade, I've had my share of bad movie theatre experiences. Bad seats, outrageous prices, big crowds. But none of these complaints apply to the Red Vic on Haight Street. Right in the middle of Haight's eclectic array of shops and restaurants sits the Red Vic movie house. Check out their site for their latest calendar...movies range from asian indie flicks to "Wayne's World". Their seats may not be luxurious and their "food court" may not sell sushi and vegi-kabobs, but it's truly a unique experience and one you should enjoy!

This is one of my favorite theaters in the city. It may be a bit smaller than some of the other theaters. It only has three screens. But I like the type of movies that they offer here. The movies are mire artsy and not always big name mainstream, which is great. most of the movies here are not cookie cutter movies, but they have real plots and stories. Parking is kinda hard, but doable. And the surrounding area is nice to hang out and grab food.
