Landmark is located across from a high school, Grady. I can just imagine the hoards of kids who might walk across here during lunch break or after school to watch a cheap film alone, watch a movie with friends, or "watch" a movie with a "special" friend, and I can only imagine for how long - it appears from the kitschy interior reminiscent of the 1950s, that it has been around for ages. I went to watch Queen, and since it's been a while since the film premiered, I honestly thought I would be the only one in the entire room. Surprisingly, I wasn't, so I was careful not to disturb the other patrons as I was late and stumbled in the dark to find a seat. It's a lovely cinema, truly artsy as the name suggests. It is old and the floors are dirty, the restrooms look like they belong in a movie maybe a comedy or a horror film, but I wouldn't rather have been at Regal or AMC or any other movie place. Imagine Helena Bonham Carter in Fight Club; it's like her: her beauty and talent coupled with the appearance of not having showered in a few weeks give or take. Oh, and they have friendly staff members. Definitely go. And do so often. I'm hopefully going to start going more often. And as for the kids at Grady, if you're not taking advantage of the lovely jem you have across the road at least once in a while, then what a waste. This is a great place to see movies whether they are currently box office hits, extremely old (they show classics), or indie (they show independent films as well). I'm really glad I found out about this place. You can buy tickets for here on the Atom app (like I did) or just walk in and purchase I guess. I think the cinema also has a text thing, so you know what upcoming movies they're expecting. And they serve freaking alcohol! But I couldn't get any;...

Read moreOne of the only art cinemas in the state of Georgia. You can find some of the Hollywood blockbusters you find at any 24 screen theater in the burbs. You won't find things like the Transformers here.
While the number one concern for the managers of other theaters is making sure people don't sneak into an extra movie or maintaining profit margins on concessions, this place is different. The top priority is very obviously the selection of films and the organizing of great film events.
What you will find here are ongoing events and nights where you can join others in rewatching classic films like DeNiro in Raging Bull or you will find international films that big 24 screen movie theaters will NEVER play. Obscure movies like Motorcycles Diaries and Chocolate that end up being big hits get their chance at this theater and of course other like it across the country. But this one is ours.
Many people will hate this theater precisely because it does what other theaters don't, presents a true artistic film-going opportunity and experience, as opposed to just another place for Hollywood to hang any old thing. If you're tired of conventional Hollywood, visit this place and enjoy great movies you might not have even heard of otherwise.
If you're coming to the theater for the bells and whistles of the building, there are better offerings in Atlanta. If you are looking for an artistic cinema, this is the place to be (as well as the Tara on Cheshire Bridge). Have fun...
