This theatre is a treasure. I attended screenings here a few times over the years while visiting firnds in Boston. Why cant someone do this in New York? Heres hoping the Brattle goes on forever !!!!

The programming is primarily double features of classic Hollywood and foreign films, with a different program each weekday day. Occasionally, this schedule is interrupted by a week-long first-run film.
The theatre no longer has concerts, but a local bookstore occasionally hosts lectures by authors here.
During the fifties and sixties, and especially during the summer months, the Brattle was the venue that helped propel “Citizen Kane” and “Casablanca” to the top of the best films of all time. The bar downstairs was named after “Casablanca”.
