See All Lists
1. Trash Palace
I should come here more often. Trash Palace is paradise for underground cult cinema lovers, set in a building with an address that's not promoted to the masses.
Remember that classic episode of BH90210, where the gang goes to exchange an egg for…More »
2. Camera Bar
Toronto, ON M6J 1H6
(416) 530-7856
Categories:
Cinema,
Art Galleries,
Bars
Neighbourhoods: West Queen West, Beaconsfield Village
At first glance, I thought this joint was just an upscale drinking hole, but passed by to discover it's also a gallery and houses a screening room in the back. FREE (!!!) Saturday indie and arthouse movies? Great photography on the walls? Count me…More »
3. Bloor Cinema
This place is a solid fixture in the moviegoer scene, arguably the most popular in the rep cinema circuit. Because of its location, it sometimes attracts way too many students for my liking, but I still love it and respect it as one of Toronto's…More »
4. Cumberland 4 Theatre
When I heard a rumour about the Cumberland's possible demolition, I grabbed a hankie and pined for old times. Then I heard it was safe and cheered. Then I heard it was uncertain. Then I threw my hands in the air, screamed, "forget this!" and went to…More »
5. NFB Mediatheque
Toronto, ON M5V 3C3
(416) 973-3012
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Queen Street West, Downtown Core
When autumn hits and it becomes not-so-nice outside, my mind starts wandering back to the days of high school.
Now, the mere thought of high school makes me barf, but the one spew-free memory was of my high school history teacher, Mr. Williamson. He…More »
6. Cineplex Odeon Varsity and Varsity VIP
Toronto, ON M4W 1A5
(416) 961-6304
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Yorkville, Downtown Core
Although I don't quite like the layout of the Varsity, I really like it mainly for the balance of film offerings -- it has the best balance in the film line-up, catering to both the film snob to those who only go for films with big-name marquees.

7. AMC Yonge & Dundas 24
Toronto, ON M5B 2G9
(416) 977-9262
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Ryerson, Downtown Core
Good movies and an alternative to shopping, right downtown? Two tickets, please.
This central movie hub, in a building populated by students and Go-Trainers at 6pm, is a decent theatre in Toronto. Like the Scotiabank on Richmond Street, it's a…More »
8. Scotiabank Theatre
Toronto, ON M5V 3M6
(416) 368-5600
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Entertainment District, Downtown Core
I have a nephew that used to go to theatres with a pair of ear muffs because he couldn't handle the noise. Thank goodness he lives in a small town, because he would probably ralph up his kidneys if he came to the Scotiabank Theatre.
Holy sensory…More »
9. Cinematheque Ontario
Perhaps my bad choice in films is entirely to blame, but what are the odds of almost falling asleep through two of seven films I've seen at Cinematheque? I mean, that's like going to a doctor and getting the right medication one-third of the time.…More »
10. Yonge-Dundas Square
Toronto, ON M5G 2C2
(416) 979-9960
Categories:
Local Flavour,
Landmarks & Historical Buildings
Neighbourhood: Downtown Core
Though I miss the dancing man handing out flyers in front of the old World's Biggest Jeans Store, I don't mind the space that's replaced it and him -- Yonge-Dundas Square.
It's opened up the intersection, for sure, and promotes community gathering, a…More »
11. Carlton Cinemas
Toronto, ON M5B 2H5
(416) 494-9371
Category:
Cinema
Neighbourhoods: Church-Wellesley Village, Downtown Core
I want to like this theatre more, but truth is, the place kind of depresses me and reminds me way too much of my backward university years spent there and in the area. The screening rooms are shoe-box like, and for the $10 price tag, I'd rather sit…More »
