The Top 10 Best Movie Theaters in the World.
In the age of online streaming, a large number of people watch movies in their living room or on
their smartphones and tablets. But Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video or even your home theater
system can’t match the enhanced experience of watching great movies in a theater packed with
people. Here are the top ten best movie theaters in the world.
10. Cine Thisio – Athens, Greece
Cine Thisio is an outside movie theater that offers a great view of Acropolis and the Parthenon. The
theater was built in 1935 and shows classic movies and current releases. And if the movie does not
do it for you, the view from Cine Thisio at night will leave you breathless.

, 9. Alamo Drafthouse – Texas, United States
What annoys you most during a screening of a movie? Maybe the advertisements shown before the
film, or the talkative kid in front of you, or the constantly ringing mobile phones that people just
refuse to put in silent mode. All these concerns are addressed at the Alamo Drafthouse, where they
implement a strict no-talking policy, no admission for kids below six years old, and no cellphones
allowed inside the theater. You will finally get to watch a movie in peace. To top it off, the theater
also hosts different events, like a Heckle Vision, Quotes, and even a critics’ night where reviewers
can dissect the latest movie being shown.
8. Raj Mandir Theatre – Jaipur, India
Raj Mandir Theatre may not be the most luxurious theater in the world, but watching a movie here
brings a totally unique feeling. The movie house can accommodate up to 1,200 people, and the
lowest priced tickets are really cheap. The exterior of the theater has an Art Deco design and
washed in pink. It opened in 1976, but the crowd response has always been the same, especially for
Bollywood movies. There is an interlude in the middle of the movie, and applause will be given
when the movie’s star appears on the screen.
