North Shore Towers Cinema — Local services in New York

Such a gem! Stumbled upon this theater when looking for showtimes for Amsterdam. It’s tucked away in a private apartment complex and is one of the cleanest theaters I’ve ever been to. The woman who worked the ticket booth was so sweet and you can tell she really cared about the success of the theater. It’s located in one of the buildings of a large apartment complex (there’s also an arcade which i didn’t visit) and is open to the public. CASH only. Bring your snacks. There’s two vending machines and spoiler alert — may or may not eat your money.

HIGHLY recommend! I had the whole theater to myself and enjoyed every minute of it. No fancy recliners. No online ticket ordering. Good ole fashioned show up and buy your ticket...

The North Shore Towers Cinema in Queens has re-opened for 2025! It is now The Cinema Arts Centre and it is a hidden gem. For years this has been the go to for filmlovers interested in intelligent programming. It is here where the best of independent film is screened at low prices on a giant screen in a beautifully renovated theatre with comfortable seats and dirt cheap popcorn and snacks. Parking and access are easy, regular tickets are only $12 and they have lectures snd Repertory screenings planned. As a Manhattanite and Brooklynite indie film lover I have been sad to see so many of our local "art houses" close. I wish we had more full size indie theatres of the caliber of the Cinema...

Went to see a movie here with family and really enjoyed it. Huge modern spacious theater with super large screen and comfortable seating. Beautifully kept grounds and immaculate building were a pleasure to walk through to get to the theater. My only critique would be the popcorn is premade and really bad tasting. Not really any concession to speak of but a couple of nice vending machines for drinks were available. All in all superb movie experience and parking...
