Bellmore Movies

This is the oldest theatre on LI and for historical value deserves 5 stars alone.
In the ever changing industrial capital landscape of this joke of an Island where things are lucky they last five years, let alone an actual building last 100 and still a similar business is insane.
I have never been here for a movie but a half a dozen times to bring our daughters to plays that the Plaza Productions does for children. The shows are hit or miss but affordable and frequent. The theatre itself has a great nostalgia element, if you want the HD posh life go to a stadium theatre and stop complaining.
My wife and I do not go to the movies often but I will have to follow their website to see any indie/​cult films here as I would love to see one on their big screen. Personally I do not think this theatre uses their charm and intimacy to their advantage let alone a train station that you can throw a baseball at a train as it passes.
Cult films would do REALLY well here as well as midnight movies… they should take a bite out of the Cinema Arts Centre’s pie that is all the way on the other side of the Island.

Nice local theater that’s close to home, my only complaint is they really need to update their seats.

Went to see Anchorman 2 with Eric. I live down the block. The seats don’t recline but i love this theater anyway. Good popcorn, decent movie, close by, im good

A good old fashioned movie theater. Just one screen, but they put in new seats a few years back and they get some great movies. The movies here tend to lean toward the kind that receive critical acclaim and award nominations but don’t have huge box office totals. Parking is easy to find across the street at the train station. They also have a local theater company that uses their stage for shows on the weekends which often feature some great kid friendly performances/​shows.

When I first walked in it was kind of weird someone was singing 1940’s tunes on stage Dean Martin, Sinatra. Movie started the screen seemed small at first but got used to it wasn’t so bad. Could be cheaper considering it’s an old theater with a screen as big as some TV’s $ 11.50 ($ 7.50 before 5PM that’s a good price). Not bad a lot of seats though for a small screen. I’d go back.

This theater is not for everyone and that is why I love it! One screen — check. Small but large enough for the average viewer — check. Art house films– check. $ 7.50 per ticket before 5PM — check. Older seats but comfy & cozy. The neighborhood theater is alive and well DESPITE the multiplex. Bravo!

I rarely tell people they’re actually wrong, but it sounds like some of the people don’t seem to realize that this is the oldest existing theater still on Long Island. It’s not a «hole in the wall,» or «old and worn» as some call it but practically a landmark in Nassau County.
The Bellmore Movie Theater is a small little place right off of Sunrise Highway that is worth the price of admission. The average price is $ 10 for a regular showing, which is fair, though I’m not sure what the matinée pricing is. The lobby is small but not too cramped and you can still buy your soda, popcorn, and snacks for the usual somewhat overpriced amount; it wouldn’t be a theater if the snacks were affordable.
They have only one theater but this is without a doubt one of my favorites. From the well kept, comfy, and spacious seats, to the clean carpeting, to the stage at the back of the room; this is a fantastic cinema-​watching experience.
Another little known fact is that this small, sleepy little theater is the home to the Long Island Film Expo in July where Long Island’s best filmmakers (as well as people from all over the country /​world) are brought together to exhibit their films in the hopes to win a best in show award and bring the arts to Nassau County, which is more important than having a twenty screens to play 5 simultaneous showings of Avatar 2: Attack of the Blue Smurfs. If you want to see some of the best independent films from up-​and-​coming filmmakers, this is the perfect place.
True your movie watching options are limited here, but to fully experience a piece of history and see how much of an impact the arts have on Long Island, give the Bellmore Movie Theater a visit!

$ 10 for a movie? Sign me up. If this theatre wasn’t so far away from me, I would probably go more often. The theatre is small, the seats were comfortable enough.

It’s old, and worn.
The only redeeming value (that I haven’t taken advantage of) is they host Rocky Horror on Friday at midnight.

A hole in the wall with old seats, no stadium seating, small screens and dusty projectors.
If you’re going to shell out 11 bucks, go elsewhere. Only positive is there popcorn was pretty solid.
