Best Independent Toronto Theatres!

If you’re sick of the limited options and overpriced tickets and snacks that Cineplex has to offer don’t worry, Toronto has plenty of other cinema options. Here’s a list of some of the city’s best spots to take in a film and support a local business. The Revue, 400 Roncesvalles Avenue The Revue is one of Toronto’s oldest cinemas, first opening its doors in 1912. I’ve seen everything from silent films, to special screenings of films like Jim Jarmusch’s Dead Man, to recent Hollywood films like Trumbo here.

Don’t watch “Home Alone” again this year!

Colin Firth & Renee Zellweger in Bridget Jones’ Diary Bridget Jones’ Diary, 2001 As if you really need an excuse to watch Bridget Jones for the twentieth time. Starts at Christmas, ends at Christmas, London, Colin Firth. Okay that’s it. Take a mini break holiday and just watch it, again. Watch it on Amazon Instant Video. Nathan Lane & Michael J. Fox in […]
