The best you can hope for is that your favorite obscure foreign film will breeze through town for an engagement at the Walter Reade, operated by the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Nice big screen, a sturdy sound system, and way comfy seats with lots of legroom make for a pristine viewing experience. The nearby Alice Tully Hall is an excellent venue as well, and is cranked up every year for the New York Film Festival. A (Frazer)

One of the best auditoriums I've ever been to. Mostly stadium seating (the sight lines are magnificent), a good screen and a first rate projection system (Color of a Brisk and leaping Day looked really good there). The only quibble I might have is I'm not sure how good the sound system is. A (Odell)
