Cinémathèque québécoise provides excellent film programming, most of which could be characterized as art house, international, and classics.
The screen is not huge, but fairly big. The seats are comfortable, but they are not on a terribly steep incline, so you have to pick your seat based on who's in front of you to avoid having your view of the screen blocked.

And since many of the films are in foreign languages, one does have to pay attention to whether the subtitles will be in French or English if you only understand one of those languages.
