Showcase Cinemas Bridgeport

The times I have gone it’s really clean but then again I don’t ever go on Friday or Saturday nights. The staff is always friendly. Obviosuly popcorn and such are over priced but I like the seats and enjoy watching movies

Showcase for me will always hold a special place in my heart, as a kid it was always the local movie theater and I loved the neon 80’s style art on the walls. The theater is small and has a «homey» feeling to it, it’s never too crowded and I’ve honestly never seen a show sold out here, which was nice not needing to worry about getting tickets or not. As I grew older and started to come here as an adult I started to notice some of their short comings. They haven’t really updated anything since then. They have the same dingy arcade games from years ago and the theater itself is a bit dirty in quality. Also one of the things that personally bugs me is the prices. I understand movie theaters are pricey when it comes to food, but here it’s 8.75 for a large popcorn (which is a medium at most theaters like bow tie) and they aren’t refillable, nor is it fresh, it just sits in the glass cupboard under a lamp already bagged waiting for someone to buy it. This also goes with the beverages. The customer service also has gone down to a bunch of people that clearly don’t want to be there. My only recommendation is they up their game with food, hire some better employees, and please buy new rugs. As of right now, Connecticut Post in Milford has the best theater, also offering IMAX.

This is walking distance from where I live, and their Tuesday special ($ 7.50 all day, any regular movie) is the best deal. Their popcorn needs work. They should take a tip from trumbull’s bow tie cinema, whose popcorn game is on point. Why haven’t concession stands figured out that by putting butter flavoring on the top of popcorn, you get extra butter on top and terribly dry, tasteless popcorn at the bottom. there in which you have to get up to get more butter flavoring, ruining the movie experience.
Thumbs up for their covered garage.

A nice 80’s style theater. Cool A/​C on a hot day is a PLUS.

Went to see Frances Ha– super cute/​quirky. Cinema was very clean and very empty on a Monday night.

Having grown up in Fairfield County, the Showcase Cinemas in Bridgeport were always the spot to be at on Friday nights and weekend afternoons when no one could think of a good place to hang out.
The cinemas here are fairly clean and the staff is friendlier than you’d expect them to be at a place that has a high volume of customers streaming in and out of there doors at all hours — if you’re expecting the typical cinema and counting on clean bathrooms and aisle floors that aren’t sticky with forgotten sodas and candy bits, then the Showcase Cinemas in Bridgeport are the right place for you to enjoy the opening day of that long-​awaited flick.
I do, however, recommend catching a matinée and forgoing the snacks, though — movie theaters everywhere have gotten so expensive lately!

First impression was good, parking space enough and very close to the theater entrance, something you enjoy during the winter season.
I was kind of impressed by the amount of movies they show (13), expected this theater to be smaller for Black Rock.
We came to see ‘Tron’ 3D, picture and sound was good, we had a great time and will return again.

If you are interested in Bollywood movies, this is your spot! It’s the only theatre I know about in Fairfield County that regularly plays Bollywood (in case you don’t know Bollywood= showy Indian movies usually 3 hours long, in Hindi including song and dance sequences). The only other theatre I know of is in Jackson Heights, Queens.
Tix are $ 10 and they always feature atleast 1 Bollywood movie. I came here to see «Love Aaj Kal» in August which I loved ! For those non Hindi speakers, they have subtitles and offer a brief one minute intermission.
can tell you current features :)

It was cold and there wasn’t much to do when were in CT, so Cal and I saw 4 movies during our 10 day vacation in CT/​NY. And we saw all of them at this theatre! We were able to catch three matinees, so it was $ 14 for both of us each time. It was $ 10 for regular showings. The theatres were clean, and the ticket machines made it easy to buy tickets. My only complaint is that the armrests do not recline up, so that was a bummer.
