These local movie theaters are Long Island staples and offer the perfect cinema experience.

There is nothing quite like catching a movie at a local independent movie theater. The many great theaters of Long Island are not only full of character, but they also allow you to step back into history. Some of these community assets have been entertaining residents for over one hundred years, and they offer more of a laid-back, unique change from the traditional, commercialized movie-going experience offered by the large chains. If you're looking for something to do this weekend, our real estate agents recommend catching a film at one of these unique Long Island theaters.

  • Cinema Arts Centre - 423 Park Ave, Huntington, NY 11743
    Long Island's premier, year-round independent film theater located on the North Shore, the Cinema Arts Centre offers everything from restored classics to fascinating new American and international films across three screens. Showings are carefully selected, and they often coordinate with music or art exhibits. The theatre also hosts educational programming, including screenwriting and filmmaking workshops. If you want to catch an interesting movie or documentary, grab some tickets at the box office or become a member. Before the show, don't forget to schedule a tours of your favorite Huntington homes for sale nearby.
