Best first-run movie house
The new Boston Common cineplex is settling into our movie-going consciousness, but the Kendall Square Cinema
is still first in the hearts of our readers, thanks to perfect sightlines and a daring selection of new films.
(The Kendall is the only commercial venue in the area where you can regularly find foreign-language films
made by people with absolutely no connection to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.) If it's a movie that merits
serious discussion afterward, it's probably showing here. In fact, Harvard should hand out college credit
to anyone auditing post-movie conversations in the parking garage.
For more mainstream fare, Phoenix readers count on General Cinema's Fenway 13. It's got huge screens,
plenty of leg room, an obscenely well-stocked concession stand, and plenty of parking. All in all, the
perfect setting to watch movies with runaway budgets.
Kendall Square Cinema, 1 Kendall Square, Cambridge, (617) 494-9800; Fenway Cinema 13, 201 Brookline Avenue, Boston, (617) 424-6266.
