The Picture House Regional Film Center is a wonderful historic theater based in Pelham, New York.
In November of 2023, I brought and treated my wife and myself to the theater to attend and watch “The Marvels” and we very much enjoyed our moviegoing experience.
The theater’s staff were very friendly and kindly welcomed us in when we arrived. We found the auditorium to be clean, quite spacious and our seats were very comfortable.
Other nice features of the the Picture House is that it is based in a very beautiful and quiet neighborhood, street side parking is ready available, and snacks and beverages are offered at very reasonable prices.

And the projector is wide, and there is a beverage stand right next to your seat as well. And you can bring your own snacks from home as well. I hope that people will come to this theater very soon and see one or more of these movies. I know I have, and it was an...
Read moreI just visited The Picture House last night for the first time. On a whim, I decided to see the Bob Dylan movie. I couldn't believe it... I was the only one in the whole theater! Maybe it was too cold for everyone else to venture out. Anyway, I thought the theater was fantastic. It's local to where I live, the seats were comfortable without being so comfortable that it risks putting me to sleep, and the sound and video quality were great. I also thought there was a great selection of snacks and drinks. I would rather go here ANY day than an AMC. Check...
