Voting Home / Grand Illusion Cinema
Nominated for: BEST Indie Theater
The Grand Illusion Cinema is the longest running independent cinema in the city, and has become a landmark of the film community. Non-profit film arts organization, the Northwest Film Forum, saved the theater from closure in 1997, remodeled it, and has presented literally hundreds of cinema classics and rarities there. A strong group of dedicated staff and volunteers, focus all attention and energy on the continued tradition of this treasured cinema.

Come on people, 15th place out of 16. This theater has some of the most interesting programming in town. I prefer it to the Film Forum and SIFF Cinema. Screw Central Cinema, they don't even show prints of films. Just projected DVD's.

Velvet seats under a cozy wooden ceiling, mood lighting, and the rarest finds on an old-school reel projector - how could you not love this place? The GI is my go-to spot to take new friends (or just myself!) for a chill night out to the movies without having to worry about big-theatre annoyances. No messy aisles or baby-wailin' here! Just good, cheap cinematic fun.

There is no place better to see a movie than the Grand Illusion.
