I do like this theater and it is close to home. It's clean and the staff is helpful and give good customer service. I would love to see a greater variety of movies so I don't have to travel to the northside. I absolutely like the Tuesday discounts to allow for an affordable night out with the kids.

To repeat another's request, why in the world don't you list current features and show times, have some art films and have listings in the Hyde Park Herald of current movies shown.

Seen several movies here, but right now the choices seem to be for teens or nerds only into action movies. How about at least ONE movie for the adults or for those interested in e.g. thoughtful Sci-fi like Ex-Machina?

Try looking at the choices for the Lake theater in Oak Park for suggestions!

Why does Hyde Park always indulge in e the least interesting movies, the least interesting restaurants? So disapppointing.

My comment is really a question.

Why do you not have a current listing of movies and showtimes of those movies?

Are we to just show up and take our chances that what we would like to see is being shown, as well as what times IF they are being shown?

The theater is Very nice but this issue is Very important to ones enjoyment of the experience.
