This place is certainly organized.  They have people escort you to your seasts.  When I first came to Philly I was like WHAT because I am used to your typical suberb tehater.  I don't know maybe they think if they escort you, there won't be any shootings.  Speaking of there was one right outside one time, that was NOT GOOD!  

Great theater.

I go here all the time, back in the day, I used to go every week!  They have fresh popcorn and snacks, all if you are willing to pay the price tag.  yes they even have ice cream.  I usually go to superfresh before hand and stock up on stuff, which is always a fun time.  I enjoy getting some really awesome candies to bring in, hehe.  Movie theaters are clean and people lead u to seats.

This is the one theater within walking distance of Drexel U.  It is located up by Upenn and if you take Locust walk you will get there eventually.  It  is a lovely theater where I have had much history and memories, but it is not hte best theater in the world and it is ungodly expensive.  Take my advice and get a car and go to Columbus Blvd, seriously.

Now it is the Rave

Although it isnt uqite as cool as the rave back at home, I guess it is just the same name.  This place can be super expensive so i try to avoid it but convienience is a good thing.  They have a strange viewing room in there that can be interesting if you're drunk haha. THey also have a bar and dinner option which is weird and confusing, not sure who does that.  Snacks are expensive but they have ice cream so awesomeeeeee.

Fun times

I went there last year with a friend.  It is very nice for being in the city.  I had a great time there and go back all the time.  Their snack bar has good variety and is convenient.

It's a good theater in the evenings, but a great theater during the day (when the popcorn is still fresh). Skip the stale condiments from the staff that are less than friendly, and enjoy the best screens in Philadelphia. If there's a glitch in the movie, they will give you a voucher for another flick. That's service.

The Bridge is the only theater even remotely close to Penn & University City. For being the only theater, they raise their prices pretty high and especially on weekends. The higher prices for the Bridge actually means better quality though. You get better seats, excellent service, and recent movies.

The theater for Penn students has a great location. The biggest downside with the Bridge theater is that it's a bit pricey but it has a very upscale feeling towards it. It generally has a lot of recent movies playing but it is usually very flooded on weekend nights (due to its close proximity to Penn). 

Best theater in philly

Great theater - was surprised that there are so few in Philly, but this one is great and actually gets the latest movies.
