love this place. went to see a screening of Lenny a while back where Dustin Hoffman was on stage and fielding questions before the movie. Organ player adds a great touch. Recommend highly

I like history and I love the Castro! It does not matter what we see at this amazing theater...it is the experience that we remember. Take an evening and see it for yourself....you will fall in love with it too!

This is the best art house theatre I've ever been to. Located in an old movie theatre in the heart of The Castro -- The Castro Theatre oozes character. Some of the best films play here. Definitely a must see for any film buffs.

Hope for a management change, not what it used to be. Still a beautiful theater with lots of history. Worth a look.

The theater is BEAUTIFUL, and build in the silent era (20's). Have old projector in lobby, and seats are not stadium style (just a slight incline), but you can see fine (similar setup to opera, or broadway play). There are gorgeous old murals on the walls, the old-style curtains to the left and right of the screen, and gold ornamental wall decorations. A must for any movie buff (did I say that already?:)). Call ahead for movie schedules (they play some great old , sing-along, and "film-festival" type stuff. An organ is played before one of the performance, but was not played before our performance in afternoon.
