The Dietrich Theater

Reviewed By UriusT - Vilnius, Lithuania

The Dietrich is awesome, and I'm so glad it survives. This little old theater is run well, with all kinds of movies and festivals running regularly. They get foreign films, art films and plenty of blockbusters too. The small town vibe reminds you of days gone by. I remember as a child going to see Star Wars at the Dietrich after it relaunched. Most recently a less impressive Birds of Prey, nonetheless our experience was lovely all the same. It's such a friendly place, and quaint, with a love of film among the operators which is refreshing.

Bryn Mawr Film Institute

Reviewed By 29jennap - Pennsylvania, United States

Go often to regular movies as well as the special events, like opera, old classics, kids. My husband and I joined years ago happily & have yet to attend the well reviewed lectures. Someday! Half the theaters are new with stadium seats and sound. The remaining 2 theaters are old school for the nostalgia feel. Beautiful lobby with a coffee pastry shop allows a place to hang pre or post movie with friends.

The Tull Family Theater

Reviewed By Movietheatefan - Pittsburgh, United States

Tull Theater continues to spoil its visitors. Tulls delightful friendly employees are keeping the entire theater continually pristine clean. I have always been concerned about cleanliness before this pandemic. My observations of Tull is that they are going above and beyond to protect their movie customers, as well as their employees with repetitive cleaning. What a wonderful safe way to spoil ourselves with a ‘DateNight’ or an afternoon with the family when our activities are so limited with this Pandemic. Thanks Tull!

Zoetropolis

Reviewed By MLJohnson

We recently decided to take a drive to Lancaster, PA. Enjoyed a movie at this unique, comfortable theater, then a meal after the movie at the restaurant. The service was great and so was the ambiance. The socca mushrooms as an appetizer and the different dipping sauces; delicious. The shrimp sliders were more actually better than I expected. My husband had the Peruvian steak sandwich, which he said was cheesy, tasty and filling. We also were served nicely seasoned popcorn while we waited for our meal, which didn’t take long. Would definitely return.
