My wife and I love going the Bensenville theater. We are seniors so it only cost $2 each and we get free popcorn.

Antioch Theatre

Reviewed By chezbuc - Antioch, United States

The Antioch Theater is a great place to see a movie. I can practically walk to it. The price is right. Since the remodel they started taking credit cards. The staff are friendly. Free refills on popcorn! What more could I want?

Regal Cinemas Lincolnshire Stadium 21 & IMAX

Reviewed By GORYANA - Buffalo Grove, United States

I like the movie theater because it is never crowded (at least when we choose to attend), clean, has good selection of movies and nice atmosphere. I wish they have Starbucks inside as I prefer to drink good coffee with croissant instead of eating popcorn

They always have a great selection of movies each week, perfect date night. The food in the concession stand is pretty good as well.

Skyview Drive-In

Reviewed By scharven - O'Fallon, United States

I'm not sure what a previous Aug 2020 reviewer was looking for - but the instructions online and given at the box office are clear - and there are employees wandering the lots to help guide folks and get them into the right stalls (high or low level vehicles) - was just fine. The online instructions just fine - and they hand out the instructions too when you arrive, and even give a garbage bag to take things away. Ground isn't muddy or dusty - lots of gravel - playground for kids before the movies. Good visuals - radio sound was crystal clear - the snack bar was well lit and easy to navigate - clean bathrooms. Look for Groupons - and next door to a Schnucks for last minute drinks which you can bring in. Not sure for any rating under 5 stars!

Classic Cinemas Lake Theatre

Fully restored historic movie theatre with seven screens in Oak Park, IL with free refills on freshly popped popcorn, sodas and ICEEs. Get showtimes and tickets online to take a two-hour movie vacation with Classic Cinemas.

Reviewed By MaryNoys

I have been going to the Classic cinemas theaters since the 1970s. Growing up in Oak Park the Lake Theatre was and remains a great place to see a show. I also enjoy the York, the Tivoli and the luxury seats at the North Riverside theatre. They do a superior job of keeping their theatres clean and comfortable. Free refills are a nice perk. Whenever we go to another theatre, I am reminded how much better the Classic Cinemas theaters are. I love that they offer special showings for kids movies or replaying classic films.
