Recently renovated after being closed down for major repairs. Saw the film The Cooler there recently. The auditorium looks fresh and clean. Projection and sound was good. Now an independent run neighborhood repertory cinema, formely part of the Festival Cinema chain. Solid programming of second run and independent films and documentaries. Worth checking out again if you were turned off by the aging, rundown interior and sticky floors. One of the larger single screen cinemas left in Toronto along with the Royal. Nothing beats seeing those big, gold drapes go up before the movie starts!!! Tickets still sold from the original ticket booth outside. 3$ weekday early bird screenings. A blast from the past worth supporting.

The Bloor Cinema has been a Toronto landmark for over 60 years. Recently refurbished, this vintage movie house is one of the best places in the city of Toronto to see rare and hard to find movie classics, foreign and domestic, as well as premiere presentations of new films from around the world.
The Bloor Cinema also welcomes new filmmakers to exhibit their talents, and has been the venue of choice for several independent festivals and student film screenings.
So when your in the city of Toronto come to the Bloor Cinema.
