A gem of Nashville. My family and I will continue enjoy Belcourt Theatre and support their great efforts

I went to The Belcourt Theater twice in one weekend on a recent visit to Nashville. I had not been prior to the renovation, so I can make no comparison. The staff were all very approachable and helpful, from the ticket desk to the concessions area. As for the concessions, its nice to be able to order wine or a mixed drink to enjoy with your movie, as well as the usual popcorn. The seats are comfortable and the first time I went the theater was nearly empty; the second time it was far less than half full. Im glad it was so quiet and intimate, but I hope enough people are going to support this place! I highly recommend it to anyone in the Nashville area.

Great space and lovely representation of the cinematic arts in Nashville.

This place has so much respect for the arts, that it’s kinda crazy. Their theaters are gorgeous and they’re always playing movies with high critical acclaim (regardless of box office success. Which means most of them are independent films). Then they have midnight movies on the weekends where they play classics (like Jaws, Footloose, Dirty Dancing, The Godfather) at midnight. Their tickets are usually lower than the average theaters (around $10) and they have GREAT POPCORN.

This is an amazing cinema to go and watch all the best independent films and have a snack and beer to go along. The non-profit that runs it is dedicated to bringing the best films available to the local Nashville audience. I highly recommend supporting them while having fun doing it.

I love supporting this local theater. Always go when theyre showing old films like 2001: A Space Odyssey or Evil Dead. They also show fun exclusive stuff from time to time. The concessions are great, lots of choices, and the inside looks and feels great.

Cool place to go, and has plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Compared to other movie theaters, the concession stand is reasonably priced. A good alternative if you want to enjoy a movie with other movie lovers. A slightly elevated place for a movie date.

Went to see fight club with a friend, had a great time. This place is amazing to see old movies, new movies, indie movies, all movies. And you get to eat popcorn and drink a beer! Best memories are made here!

Very nice and clean. They serve wine, which is super cool (its $9 though). They serve beer too. And they have vegan options available, like hummus and veggie dogs instead of only popcorn like other theaters. Ill be back for sure!

Great little theater and apparently its a non profit which is awesome. Showing lots of indies and movies from the festival circuit. The usual concessions plus some healthier food options and beer, wine, and tea. Saw a movie in the screening room upstairs which was a great size

It is the best theater in Nashville.

Belcourt Theater has always been a great arts theater, but since the remodel, it is greater than great! The variety of films and special events has something for everyone. You can get a parking pass when you purchase your tickets. Good snacks (popcorn has improved) and they serve alcohol.

Review №15

A beautiful facility with a great selection of good, although not necessarily mainstream, films. If you see a movie is showing there that seems even a little interesting, go there. Its worth a visit.

This is a fantastic local theater with comfortable seating and good views of the screens. The tickets are affordable and the experience was quality. Definitely reccomend after seeing Parasite and will certainly return.

Nashville’s Indy theater is a perfect place to enjoy two hours of your time; whether on a date or just want to enjoy a movie as a cinephile. It is very close to restaurants, and bars. Its location and its close proximity to Vanderbilt campus, allows Nashvillean and out of towners alike to visit and enjoy independent movies. Its authentic atmosphere will immerse you in an “old-timey” movie theater! Although there will be no 3-D spaceship flying towards you in this movie theater, but you will certainly have a 4-D dimensional journey into silver screen!

Review №21

The Belcourt is one of those places that truly transcends its title of “movie theatre.” The Belcourt is a bastion of culture and art and I count myself lucky to live in a city where such a place exists. There’s something special about going to see a movie here.

Ja
Review №22

Really cool place to see a movie near the Vanderbilt campus. They clearly care about film and making sure its presented in the best possible environment. The tickets are pretty cheap, especially with a membership (reciprocal all around the country)! The concessions looked great and featured a bunch of local Nashville food and drink. Highly recommend!

Review №25

Like the theater. Had a great time except the people that kept getting out of their seats to get a drink. Very annoying. The seating was tight but still glad they renovated a few years back instead of tearing it down for a parking lot. Oh, parking sucks but I guess thats what it is in the neighborhood.

The Belcourt is an incredible local theater filled with warm seating, a strict no cell policy, good heat/air, and the best line up of fills in town. Perfect place to come unwind. Some of my best memories are here.

This is a cute older style redone movie theater. The inside has the old school feel but it is clean and new. Enjoyed the atmosphere, movie and location

Review №28

Where else, but the Belcourt Theater can you see the best foreign and independent film? Its also extremely well run boasts a string education program that often brings in directors, actors or local film/genre experts to introduce films and host post-screening discussion (a string shoot to Allison for her wonderful work)

Review №29

Ticketing is streamlined. Lobby is spacious and the upstairs space features interesting art works. The expanded offerings at the concession stand are terrific. One of the best things is the new restrooms! The old one-holer has given way to a space that easily accommodates the after-the-movie emergencies as well providing space and facilities for more than one person at a time to wash their hands!!

Review №30

A very special place that open up its doors to the special needs once a month where they enjoy a great movie, popcorn, and water!!

Review №31

Love this place with all my independent-film-obsessed heart. While developers are working feverishly to replace history-shifting recording studios with more overpriced condos and hotels boasting thoughtless architecture, the Belcourt gives me a glimmer of hope that Nashville will have at least one unique cultural quality left untouched by dynamite and bulldozers. Anyone else agree with me? :)

Review №32

Often the only theatre in town with a wide selection of independent films. Their membership helps you save on drink, snack, and ticket prices, which are already well under those of typical movie theatres. The staff is friendly, and the seating is plentiful if not always spectacularly comfortable.

The Belcourt has been such a huge part of my life as a Nashvillian - I can’t imagine who I would be without it. There is always fantastic programming and the people who make it happen are passionate, wonderful humans. Long may she reign.

Always something thought-provoking and/or that you wouldnt see someplace else. Love going. Ask to have your parking validated when you buy your ticket.I particularly like Music Mondays.

Review №46

Break away from the norm and mainstream. Treat yourself to something offbeat, artistically masterful, enriching, or thought-provoking. This is truly a cultural center that contributes to the uniqueness of Nashville.

Review №47

Great small theatre. They usually show some more obscure films that are very entertaining. Finding parking will be difficult. Bring change for a parking meter or arrive very early to find a validated parking spot next to the theatre. I have not tried the food, but I have had a few drinks from there. I did not enjoy the tea or coffee, but this is always just preference. The atmosphere is wonderful. The individual theatres each have a unique theme. Some are small and some are much larger. The seats are comfortable and the audio/video quality is great! You wont need to worry about crowded theatres or fighting for a seat. Matinee showings are always great. They have cheaper prices and easier parking as well. All in all, one of my favorite theatres.

Since Ive never been to the remodeled building, it was hard to see where to step once youre inside the dark theatre. It took me about 1.5 minutes to adjust to the dark. A slither of light would be great! Otherwise, I enjoyed the rest of my stay.

Review №58

Love this place. Glad they remodeled and put the box office inside and expanded the interior. Also freshening up the outside. Parking can be a bit of a challenge if your going to Rocky Horror or on special occasions so if your going, go early to park and just walk across the street for a quick bite or get a snack at the theatre. You have your choice of popcorn, candy, soft drinks or cocktails. If you have never experienced the classic Rocky Horror Picture Show at the Belcourt, I highly recommend going at least once for Halloween.

First time going to this theater and it was much nicer than I expected. I took my mom to see Aretha Franklins Amazing Grace which was a fun and exciting movie. The place was clean and had lots of seats to use before the movie opened up for seating. Now the seats in the theater are not state of the art but I assumed that before going since this is an old school theater but they have still been well kept. The concession stand had several alcoholic options which was a nice change. I got coffee and popcorn and they both were hot and good. The only thing that I didnt like was that this place has limited space so they only had two attendees running the ticket booth which caused the line to grow but the ladies were both fast and friendly. This place has an old Hollywood theater feel and offers mostly independent, foreign, and documentary movies which I love. The also offer summer midnight shows and rereleased movies with a twist such as Set It Off and pizza with Slim and husky pizza in May. Seems like fun and entertaining. I definitely will keep this place in mind for the future.

Came to see Mandy with Nicholas Cage. Fantastic sound! It was so loud it shook the seats! An amazing experience and I would go back again!Only complaint is the seats didnt have quite enough of an incline where I was, so people in front can possibly get in the way. Overall, amazing!

This is by far one of my favorite places in Nashville. Love all the indie film options they have available and they also show classic movies as well, the ones you may have never caught in theater. The place is very well kept and clean and the staff does a nice job of making you feel welcome here. Highly recommend this for anyone that appreciates film and it’s art medium. Plenty of smaller and fantastic quality films that people never get a chance to see but is readily available here. They support film art here and create a culture and opportunity for next generation folks to keep that art alive and thriving. Go check this place out and support them.

Love this place. Great staff. Great theaters. Amazing films and special events. They really love sharing films with people. The midnight movies are just over the top fun. We once played the old school Nintendo game for the film we were seeing on the projector before the film. These are great people who really deserve thanks for how much effort they put into these events. So, Thank you! Also they have great weekend morning kids movies! We recently saw A Town Called Panic!

Historic theater. Has added two additional screening rooms, one small and intimate. The main room is like stepping back in time. Extensive refreshments including wine. Shows mostly art house movies with occasional first run movies in limited release. Supported by grants and memberships, but open to the public.

Favorite place to see a movie in Nashville. The renovations are nice too. I love that they have art upstairs. Always fun to go see what they have on display. They offer all the latest independent film releases but also tons of classic/cult midnight movies as well as Saturday kids films. AND they partner with Jack Whites third man records for special showings. Tons to offer and its great.

Great small theater. Some films are foreign with English subtitles. They give you a parking ticket. The popcorn is soooooo good . I like the quaint smallness of the refurbished saved from destruction theatre. It was built in 1920 and would have been razed if not for the passion of one woman!
