Our favorite theatre in Montreal. The best place to go for international films, and cheaper and friendlier than the AMC 22.
If you go regularly, it pays to get the discount card which gives you a break on the price. Watch for special events, like student film festivals, director visits.

Cinema du Parc was a great substitute for a video store when I was living in Montreal. The prices have been rising steadily over the years, alas, but the commitment to a wide range of second-run, hard-to-find classics, and art-house movies hasn't wavered. But they still validate parking at Place du Parc, so it's worth the trip.
In addition to watching old prints of Superman 2 and Drunken Master here, I remember a number of fun premieres, like a local horror movie with lots of blatant Christian symbolism (a guy dressed like Jesus got cannibalized by naked women) which played on Easter weekend. There was also a documentary on Kubrick, directed by his longtime producer, which was packed. In both cases, the directors were on hand to answer audience questions afterward.
They no longer put out a monthly schedule, which is a shame, since everyone I knew in the neighbourhood would use it as a cheap calendar in their kitchens--and there was enough different stuff playing to justify having it at hand. -

Great little theater in montreal...not only do they show some pretty cool movies, but it's way cheaper than the standard theaters..
also, note the Metro grocery store right next door, great place to stock up before the movie :) -

cinema du parc is situated on the bottom floor of a building that contains some stores. it's staffed by people that are laid back, courteous, and kind of smooth. i know, i know, but it's true.
came here for the polanski retrospective, the nine shorts specifically. the first thing that we noticed when we walked in to the theater was how small the screen was.
once the films started, the screen size wasn't an issue. seeing the great 'two men and a bureau' on a big(ger) screen was wonderful and i'm glad i had that experience. seeing "lamps" with all the doll heads and pieces and the babies crying in the background kind of weirded me out enough to want to leave. and i never leave (unless it's death to smoochy, then i just storm right out of there)
minus a star because it seems like the only opportunity i will ever have to see 'cul de sac' happened almost a week after i left town. -

Cinema du Parc is a wonderful repertory theatre which screens a variety of great films and houses unique film festivals. I always watch something interesting at Cinema du Parc, regardless of my slight skepticism, and I would highly recommend going there over the larger, more corporate, more impersonal theatres.
