    Nice independent theatre that specializes in classic movies and independent films. The screens are small but the seats are comfy.

    I am by not a Kiera Knightly fan, although she gets props for having crooked teeth and no breast implants. However, this film was a thoroughly enjoyable. And I thought Mark Ruffalo was great!

    Love that there is an artsy film house in Westchester. No need to head into the city anymore to see your favorite independent films!

    Parking difficult. Many meters only 2 hours. Best to park in the residential neighborhood down Washington Ave, beyond the parking meters.

    Don't miss the annual Italian Film festival every June. You'll find a diverse blend of some of the most timeless Italian cinematic masterpieces.

    After the opening night we went to Macarthurs with a dozen people to discuss the film with the curator of the festival. What fun.

    THE spot for independent cinema. JBFC also hosts discussions and out-of-the-box educational programs.

    I went here on a Wednesday nite & saw the last show @ 10:15 pm. Needless to say i practically shared the entire movie theater w/ 2 other strange birds like myself. Seats did NOT tilt back. 👎🏻

    People who don't live nearby should know these theaters are tiny and they often sell more tickets than available seats. The worse is that they don't offer credit or refunds. Horrible customer service
