The AMC Empire 25 isn't just big, it's Times Square, New York City big! With 25 screens on 11 floors, plus a large food court, you might as well spend a full day at the movies. Luckily you can buy your tickets to any show at this theater right here on NYC.com. Three clicks and it's pass the popcorn!

Sure the screens are small and the seats even smaller...but who can resist the charm of the Angelika Film Center? Located on the fringe of SoHo, the Angelika has been showing leading independent films on six screens for over ten years. The lobby, featuring the Angelika Café, has long been a great meeting place for NY film lovers. So check it out. Just don't panic when you hear the subway rumble underneath during the film!

BAM Rose Cinemas is Brooklyn's home for first-run independent and international films. If you like to talk AFTER the film, then this is the theater for you as screenings are often accompanied by Q&A sessions.
