We had my son’s fifth birthday there and it was a blast. The staff was phenomenal and even the party run a little longer than it should have. It’s also the only theater that I know of that charges under $10 for first-run fare. Great, great theater.
I’ve seen a bunch of you responding to “moviegoer”’s comment from 12/19/06. I’m moviegoer and this is my first post on this theater. The 12/19/06 post that you guys have responded to seems to be attributed to someone called “stlogije.” Enough people have responded to “moviegoer” that I must assume that post was previously erroneously attributed to me due to some Cinema Treasures technical glitch.
The only difference in the appearance of the facade as a single screen, twin or quad are the designation “twin” or “quad” and the style of lettering is still the same. I would venture that the word “elwood” is the original and the adds on were made to match.
I honestly don’t think it looked that much different; it’s pretty generic ? (dsslave- are you friends with me on Facebook , and how are you doing?)
Anyone have pictures of Elwood Cinema as a single theater???
I went to a party there yesterday for a six year old to see Madagascar 2. My kids range in age from 3 to 8, and they all had a great time, as did the birthday boy.
The theater is a quad, it reminded me of the theaters I’d go to as a kid in the days before the Multiplex. I loved the fact that the theater was exclusively for the party. All of the kids had a fantastic time, as their parents. I picked up a flier on my way out, and I think the party was very well priced for what you receive. I’ll be bringing my three back to see Bolt next weekend, even though the theater is a bit far for us. It’s much more family-friendly than the multiplex, and we really had a great time!
Love the fact The Commack Multiplex couldn’t kill it, as it did the Deer Park and Brentwood. Good for them.
Regardless, I agree with CPA Eric. The Elwood is our first choice when going to the movies.

Re: Moviegoer on Dec 19, 2006:
I have been to several birthday parties here with my daughter. The staff does a very nice job making sure all the kids have a good time. If you are interested in a movie party, you should definitely consider Elwood Cinema.
BTW – This is easily the nicest theatre in the area. It should definitely be your first choice for any trip to the movies.
Is there a full moon tonight?

poster, which comment are you referring to? I don’t see anyone called “thefutureisforever.”
hey…ive never been to this msg board before, but i just saw the last comment by thefutureisforever…someone told me about it…when did u work there? pretty recently? chances are u were at least nice to my face..i know them there pretty well and you are definately talkin just as much shit as anyone else there would…u from that area?
The above poster w/ Pink Panther comment: Yes, it was odd. in the 1970’s (U.A.?) Theaters showed Pink Panther cartoons before any feature. I saw one before the 1978 version of “Invasion of the Body Snatchers” at the Smithhaven Mall movie theatre. In hindsight, I’d rather see that than a Cingular or Coke commercial like they show today.
Why would anyone book a kids birthday party at a movie theater? How is that “fun” or “special” ? Weird.
Movies I saw at Elwood: Yellow Submarine, 2001: A Space Odyssey, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, The Brood, Dick Tracy, Parasite (in 3-D). In the late 1960’s the Elwood Shopping Center had a Meat Farm type store called Ehlner & Pike. Their logo had a 3-D cow’s head on the sign…or something like that. On the right hand end of the strip of stores was a small “ma & pa” drugstore. I bought my Aurora Phantom of the Opera model kit from there. Across the street was: Friendly Frost appliences.
I would think Sid is no longer with us but i am not sure he would be well into his 90s i think..
Hello, is the Elwood theatres still under Town & Country theatres? and is Sid the owner (back in the 80’s) still doing well?
I’ll reiterate what I said—this is pretty much the only movie theater my wife and I frequent. The prices are beyond reasonable, the atmosphere is great and I cannot say enough about the wonderful and accomodating staff. Although my son is only 15 months, my wife and I are definitely planning on having one of his future birthdays here. In fact, when my 40th birthday rolls around in five years, I’m considering doing a movie party myself right at the Elwood. And I don’t see why you’re complaining about something the Elwood Theater had NOTHING TO DO WITH. Had they gone ahead and shown “A Night at the Museum” against the studio’s orders, they would’ve been putting their very business in jeopardy since the studio could’ve very well have banned the Elwood from doing business with them. And they did what any responsible business owner did—they knocked a few bucks off of your bill and gave you free passes. What gives? Support your local independent theaters, I say.
A.O.-
You guys do a great job over at the Elwood. Moviegoer should try a birthday party at the local multiplex, if she wants to see a REAL expensive debacle. Public apology? I’m glad that the December 19th comments are not going unchallenged, as they would at a large chain theater!

Moviegoer is not only a real pain in my ass, but a real douche bag as well.
