Its still a great place! Saw the new David Copperfield movie. I highly recommend it!!

Love this theater, and thank you for opening. Many theaters out there dont have the stones to do it. Their onions will magically reappear once new movies are released and they expect crowds back. Glen Art will keep my business.

I love this 1920s era movie theater! Im sure that keeping it open is a labor of love for the owner/s.Dont bring any food or drink in. Tickets are very reasonable, so any refreshments need to be purchased in house.

Small and quaint. Good for all types of movies. Its an older theater so dont expect any reclining chairs but the seats are comfy anyways

Needs updating. Old uncomfortable chairs. Way too much leg room. They could easily incorporate reclining chairs with all that wasted leg room. No cup holders. No senior discount. $3.00 for a bottle of water? Sneak in your own bottle.

I love this theater. Great movies and a great price. Once football is over we live Sunday matinees after a snack at one of the nearby restaurants.

Friendly, Charming with a wonderful old time atmosphere.

Good first run movies but the building needs major improvements. Seats are very uncomfortable. Theatres are dangerously dark and dingy. People selling tickets and concessions are unfriendly. Popcorn not bad. Glen Ellyn can do better.

Old time theatre, quaint and cozy. Ticket prices are decent, and the concessions more reasonable than the typical movie venue. Hidden gem.

The theater was beautiful! Very clean, small theaters, good picture screen. It felt like I stepped back in time..it is the theater I will solely go to now.

Digital projection was good but audio was too quiet & not balanced throughout theater. Dont go here if you care about a quality movie viewing experience. Floor was sticky, seats were dirty, and bathrooms were old and icky. Disappointing for a charming downtown theater!

If youre not a movie buff this is the perfect spot for a cheap date night. The seats are a little uncomfortable and the screens/sound arent the best quality but its cheap and low key.

This theater has been in Glen Ellyn since the 1920s. Such a charming place.

Nostalgic vintage theater with mainstream movies and every Saturday between Thanksgiving and Christmas they do free holiday movies.

Love the theater and the movies they show. Not a fancy theater, but a very comfortable one.

Two of the three times Ive been here and the theater has obviously not been cleaned before the movie, with popcorn and spilled drinks on the floor - not a little messy, but absolutely filthy. I am willing to ignore it once, but this is apparently a repeat issue. On the positive side there are no real problems with picture or sound, the theater has good prices, and is in close proximity to some very good restaurants.

Love the convenience of downtown GlenEllyn. Great atmosphere! Great choice of movies with reasonable prices.

We always enjoy going to the Glen art because it tends to have movies that weve just missed more local to us. The theaters arent the nicest, but we dont go for the seats, we go for the movies. They only take cash, but its not really a problem if you remember that. Its a great theater to keep on your list when youre looking to go out.

Movie was good. Theatre in need of serious updating. It could be very cool if renovated..

The price is right! It was a great break from the hot weather and the picture andnsound quality are good. Creaky chairs but again.. great price

The movie Lucas (1986) was filmed in this movie theater.

Reasonably priced. Smaller theater. Popcorn is way too salty

I love the vintage theater and the prices are wonderful. They play first run movies too, which you cant say for other discount theaters. They only lose 1 star because it was absolutely freezing in our theater. It was the first show of the day mid week so maybe they didnt expect customers but still, it was December, after all

Owner is rude and disrespectful. A very angry young bald man.

If you are looking for the cinema experience that you grew up with 20 years ago this is the place. This is a quaint theater with the old fashioned seating, smaller theaters but also cheaper prices on both tickets and concessions. Ive been to a few of these classic cinemas in the Chicago area and this one could use a bit of a refresh, but still an enjoyable experience.

A landmark and a legend. Used to come here when I was a kid.

Cute theater. Great prices. First run movies! Adorable downtown setting in Glen Ellyn. Fantastic shops and local restaurants. Make a great evening of a night out.

Old, old fashioned, small but classic theater complete with phone booth ticket booth which is still used! Prime time is only $7; never crowded; 4 screens; good selections. Projection and sound systems have been updated and are fine. Simple, no hassle alternative to the megaplex.

The price is very reasonable but you dont get the newer more comfortable seats.

We had a terrible experience there tonight. We were the ONLY people in the theater and it was freezing cold. We asked the person working there who said he was the manager to turn up the heat twice. He said he did but it was still freezing cold. First he said it was an old building and it would take a long time to heat up. I was so cold that I had a big coat on, a coat over my lap and was drinking a hot drink to try to stay warm. I got a sore throat in there it was so cold. So we finally told the manager that we had to leave because it was too cold to stay. He refused to give us our money back. He then refused to turn up the heat. As I said, first he said that it was an old building and it would take a long time to heat up. Then he changed his story and said if he turned up the heat the OTHER people would be uncomfortable. I reminded this guy that WE were the ONLY people there !!! Then he made the ridiculous comment that if he turned up the heat that the people TOMORROW would be too warm. He just didnt want to turn up the heat because we were the only ones there and didnt care that I was freezing. He was acting like a total jerk and just wanted to give us a hard time. My friend told him that hes been going to that theater for over 20 years and the manager could have cared less. So we didnt get to see the movie, we didnt get a refund and he wouldnt turn up the heat. I will NEVER go there again as long as that manager is there. Its an old cold theater with a disgustingly rude manager who is too cheap to turn on the heat and doesnt care that the customers are extremely uncomfortable.

We love it! Our family doesnt go to movies unless its playing at this Theatre. It has everything: its in a pretty town, with parking, next to the coffee shoppe, yummy popcorn... The seats are fine. Its exactly what were looking for in a movie outing: the whole family can go for $20, no lineups, no fuss. Its perfect!

Cute little movie theater in the lovely downtown Glen Ellyn. Despite the small selection, they are always showing new and relevant films. Theaters are the classic set up.It gives you the feel of back in the day where you can just walk in and go see a movie without having to plan ahead and reserve seats, nor pay a ton! Earlier in the day they have discounts too.Staff is friendly and helpful. Plus, a classic little concession stand! Overall, a wonderful time.

W hent to the movies several times.

If you don’t need something fancy shmancy, if you like watching good movies for a reasonable price, a cute setting and great staff, this place was a steal. Awesome venue with all the latest movies. Go here for a freaking cute date

5 dollar show,just great!

All the chairs are broken. Theater sound not updated

Need new seats but love the old school feel.

I always have a good time here. Tasteful movie selections, affordable, a cute vintage vibe, and polite staff.

I go to this theater several times a month because it shows movies that cannot be seen elsewhere. Sound system not great, should turn it up a little. But the seats are a disaster, so many broken, no cushioning left. Replacement desperately needed.

Great price. Great films.

As usual love this place, seems like they have the original seats (like from when they first opened), its small with just 3 or 4 theaters and like stepping back in time.

Old fashioned cinema...1920s vintage.. updated.. multiple screens..1st run movies..$5-$7 per ticket!!! Free parking!! Whats not to love!!

Great prices and quality. I got in to End Game for $5

Great place to see a show.

We recently moved to the western burbs from the city and are delighted to have access to quality cinema. This theatre is right across from the train line, surrounded by cafes and restaurants, and has great ticket pricing. Dont change a thing Glen Arts!

This place is adorable and no-nonsense if you want to see a movie with some friends, have some popcorn, and enjoy a historical theatre. Im almost 30 and my dad used to ride his bike to this theatre when he was a kid. Saw Star Wars Rogue One here and it was terrific.

Old time theater. Good sound. Like the old style seats. Keeps me from always falling asleep at the show.

Love the price.

Charming, but it would be nice if the seats were replaced. I forgot what it was like to not have drink holders in the seats. Candy is not fresh, per my friend.

Seats are older and not comfortable if youre larger. No drink holders here. Prices cant be beat. Tickets and consessions reasonable. Refills .75 for popcorn, $1 for drinks. Urinals are tight, with no divider. Not recommended for people with stage fright.

The chairs have seen better days, but the staff is super friendly, and they have great prices on matinee first run films. They will also have runs on art films, or recent award nominees.

This vintage theater in downtown Glen Ellyn is a great value and always shows the movies youll want to see. Matinees are $5, even on weekends. Parking is available in city lots for a minimal amount. There is three hour free parking on the street. It is near several restaurants and coffee shops. This is not a rerun house. Ill be going there today to see a new release.

It is a gem! With the new digital picture and sound systems, the viewings are always good, but the best thing is its location. You can have dinner at an interesting restaurant and see a movie, or see a movie and have a coffee or a beer afterward, all within a couple of pedestrian-friendly blocks.

Friendly, cool, and magical.

A neighborhood gem. When I want to see high quality movies, I head here.

Loved the movie, people there were nice!

I love that this theater is still open and that the kids can walk there. Ripped seats or not, completely worth it. And reasonably priced always.

Visited during the winter season. This theatre needs updating, chairs are stained and old, it was very cold when watching the movie as if the heat was low. The price was affordable.

The BEST venue for independent films in the Chicago area. Second run films at very reasonable prices AND ample free street parking (usually). Great value!

Price is good, but my seat was broke and uncomfortable.

Best bet for non traditional movies and blockbusters. Fantastic atmosphere.

Wow, movies on a big screen!

Small, dark & dingy theatre.

I LOVE this old theater.

Wish there were more theaters like this.

Love the Glen these days. They get first showing top movies plus smaller art films that other theaters do not get and have afternoon and evening showtimes daily. Cannot go wrong with a trip to the Glen for a good movie. And, they are improving sound and decor all the time. Hope they remain in GE forever.

A very cute theater with small town charm!

My favorite and first theater for limited-run/serious movies. Screen and sound are great even while maintaining that stopped in time old-school aesthetic.

Local and very vintage-cute, but kind of gross.

A very nostalgic place, this old movie theatre feels like it hasnt changed since it was built in the early 1920s. The lobby is great, and so is the walk down a long narrow hallway to your seat.

Good, classic, movie experience. If you are looking for an economic movie with a 1970s, feel, this is the place for you.

Cute old movie theater. Has a lot of good movies. Need some work, some of the seats need to be redone as they are very uncomfortable.

I love this place. Its cheap and old and amazing.

We liked this cozy theatre. Volume wasnt as lood as other places which actually made it more enjoyable.

We have been going to the Glen for years. They always have an interesting selection of movies, a charming atmosphere, and it has a great little downtown location. Ive always noticed the same manager working the booth but never had much interaction with him. At our last outing to the Glen, one of my children became very sick. This man was so kind to us and completely non- judgmental of the mess we made in his theater, he was genuinely concerned that my baby was okay and even allowed us to come back so she could see her movie all the way through. I will ALWAYS choose the Glen over the big generic fancy theaters that are cropping up all over. Good people work here and have contributed a wonderful little gem in our community, we are so grateful to have this theater and look forward to many, many more films in the future!

Perfect video and audio! Cozy theaters. Reasonable ticket prices.

Dis a cool old place. Saw the 7th star wars move here once with this girl who now I dont talk to anymore. Dats sad but the movie was good. Definitely not a bad price. Like 5 bucks a ticket. Cant beat that since they changed the pictureshow to a real theater. Nice theater if you like that old school typa feel.

Nice little theater. Plays classics, isnt overly crowded.

I was there two weeks ago and there where two people in the back of me when i started talking he listened to the other but its a great old movie theater i love it i love all the movies that they have there but studio movie grill is way better

You cant beat this little theater. How they get first run films so quickly amazes me. And its nice to see a community movie theater saved from the wrecking ball!

Good place to visit. Quiet not usually crowded

Small, intimate theaters with up to 4 different movies. Could have better sound insulation between theaters, tho.

Attractive theatre, with a good mix of blockbusters and eclectic films showing.

Small theater. Awkward staff. Feels like youre at one of those local small scale movie theaters in a movie. Good if you just want a theater to see a particular movie and dont really care about the experience

So easy and convenient. Wish there were new seats!

All movies great and super nice people!

I love going to old historical movie theaters.

Screens are way too small and you cant bring in coffee. The Tivoli is way better!

Parking is bad and they have bad seats and prices are high for concessions.

Very casual and laid-back movie experience at a cheap price.

You go here for Antiquity not modern features. A wonderful throwback to yesteryear.

A great experience every time. I admire their continued updates and how management stays consistent with its roots as a charming town theater.

Its not as comfortable or fancy as your typical movie theater, but its cool and old and not outrageously priced or run by a giant corporation. They get some good films too.

Improved sound, great price, lots of leg room.

Excellent theater. Fully support small old fashioned theaters like this one!

Five stars for showing films I cant find anywhere else in dupage, and $5 matinee :)

Nice little theatre with good matinee prices. Unfortunately the staff is kind of rude.

Classic small theater. Small but has first run movies at a good price.

Seats are not very comfortable, but I love the ambiance and low prices.

What a nice place. It makes me feel in 1930s!
