The Egyptian is a great theatre for the old time feeling of a small town theatre. Only one new film at a time, plus weekend midnight showings of old cult classics. They have popcorn and candy as well as a coffe stand to keep you awake for the late show. While the theater itself is a bit run down, it has much more character and atmosphere than any of the big shiny multiplexes. The actual theatre is spacious and has a great art deco egyptian design. Cheezy but fabulous. And they still have matinee prices for matinees, something that seems to be disappearing in Seattle!

The Egyptian Theatre in Capital Hill is home to the Seattle International Film Festival, billed as “the largest in North America.” But for most of the rest of the year, it’s an eclectic home to independent and foreign films. The film selection, quirky décor and beer and wine at the snack bar make for a good night out. They often have midnight movies that are appealing to folks willing to sit through a movie at that hour—recently it was “The Godfather.”

The Egyptian offers the best of both worlds: a fantastic, atmospheric place to see a movie, AND a great roster of films. The Egyptian usually screens the latest art house hit, and the converted Masonic hall creates a unique environment. The screen is decent, and the sound is good. For a great theatre-going experience, check out the Egyptian's midnight shows. They usually screen a cult favorite, and often the audience really gets into it.

The Egyptian is conveniently located near a lot of restaurants and other assorted interesting things, at the intersection of Broadway and Pine on Capitol Hill. THere are many good films shown here, usually for several weeks at a time. The screen is large, the sound system is adequate. There are good prices and deals on snacks - and they even have great espresso. A particular favorite is the midnight shows of old films (Goonies, Akira) on Fridays and Saturdays. A hint: parking in the SCCC Parking garage on the north side of Harvard & Pine is only $3 for the entire evening.

The Egyptian is a great theatre and a top notch date spot. They often have midnight showings of past favorites, and are a stop on the Seattle International Film Festival circuit. The theatre has a unique art deco feel that you don't find very often any more. A good place for a memorable film experience.

The Egyptian has an awesome feel with old-style lobby and beautiful theatres so you can look at something other than the ads before the movie. They show an interesting selection of films even if they don't always have the latest heart-throb. the mid-night movie is a boon for anyone who works late or just wants to stay up once in a while. If you are looking for a clamer, less commercial night out, try out the Egyptian. Close to lots of great restaurants.
