  2. 3.5 Hollywood Blvd. A Cinema, Bar, & Eatery (84 reviews)
    - Hurray For Hollywood, Again
    Sunday: 10:15 AM - 9:00 PM Movie Theaters
    Hollywood Blvd. A Cinema, Bar, & Eatery image
    Cousin to the Hollywood Palms cinema in Naperville, this theater is likewise paying homage to the glory of movies past. Not quite as ornate as the Palms it still has plenty of movie posters and props to set the stage so to speak. There's a cool car from the Blues Brothers movie to greet you from the front rooftop. The "Boulevard" inside is plastered with photos of all the great stars both present and past. Each theater, and there are at least eight, has a different theme. Ours was Star Wars, death star included. Unlike the Palms the seating has not be upgraded to recliners and still has the less comfortable desk chairs. Dining and a full bar is part of the deal. I had the Santa Monica shrimp and fries and it was very good. My wife had the chicken fingers and they were a bit dry. Service was decent although a call button would be handy. By the way, the handprints on the lobby wall showed my hand to be as big as Arnold's, so there. See more..

    Skyview Drive-In image
    Stopped by just to take some pictures from the outside. One of the owners showed up to meet someone for a meeting and greeted us at the gate. Told us to drive around the gate and go on in. She answered questions, gave us advice on where to stay if we were in town for the night and gave us her business card so she could leave us some passes at the gate. Talk about perfect timing. We unfortunately didn't plan time for a overnight stop there but one day maybe. See more..

  8. 5.0 The Lory Theater (69 reviews)
    - Visiting The Lory Theater is more than the average movie going experience!
    Movie Theaters
    The Lory Theater image
    The newly reopened and remodeled Lory Theater is what all movie theaters should aspire to be! A friendly vibe welcomes you as you walk up to building and even friendlier employees when you walk through the doors. They show the same movies that are showing in the big chain theaters but the tickets and concessions are less expensive. They serve sodas from a local company in Breese (the makers of SKI) and I admire that they are supporting a local business. The employees behind the counter are extremely friendly and personable. You feel like you've made an instant friend! Before the show, the employees come out and perform and when you leave, you get a mint! My family frequents this incomparable establishment and highly recommends that you do too! :) See more..

    Such a fabulous theater in every respect! The popcorn is made fresh and served hot. I like to get the bucket that I buy at the beginning of the year for a special price, that you can have refills just for a few dollars. The theaters are comfortable with fairly new seats and all the theaters' sound quality is always perfect. The staff is fabulous!

  14. 4.0 AMC Showplace Village Crossing 18 (53 reviews)
    - Nice afternoon matinee
    Movie Theaters
    AMC Showplace Village Crossing 18 image
    The Village Crossing AMC is our usual theatre, as it is close to home and there are usually a lot of choices in movies of all genres. Though there is food inside from the concession stand, there are also more than a few restaurants in the immediate area if you want to have dinner and a movie. The theatre is well-maintained and clean, including the restrooms, which are well placed. We were in auditorium #6 and though the seats don’t recline, they are comfortable. We came for the movie “Midway” at a matinee performance. The movie, sort of a remake of the 1976 version with Henry Fonda, was very good. Naturally, the special effects have improved and with the new CGI technology so this version does reap the benefits of modern technology. Remember, you may want to plan on coming on Tuesdays, as the admission is a bit more reasonable. See more..

    - Comfortable theater but lobby area looked a little run down
    Spent 2-3 hours Movie Theaters
    AMC Rosemont 18 image
    The theater itself was comfortable with nice loungers with plenty of space. Only 1 person ordered food delivered to their seat in our row during our movie so the "dine in" experience was not disruptive. The theater does validate for parking so that was nice. We bought our tickets online so I can't comment on the efficiency of the ticketing process. The lobby area is a little run down and the RR weren't super clean but I would go back if we were in Rosemont. See more..

    Arclight Cinemas image
    Since I had a Fandango gift card, I bought my tix online. Even though the theater probably had less than 15 people, we were advised to stay in the selected seats. My seat would not recline thus making it uncomfortable to sit. There was a service dog behind us that whined throughout the movie. Although, I am all for service dogs, I did not care for the noisy dog. And, I know Fandango charges a service fee, but I didn't know if I could use my code at the ticket office or not, so I reserved our seats in advance. I know I could have moved to a nearby seat but my friend and I were sharing popcorn so that would not have worked. Her seat reclined but mine, did not. See more..
  32. 4.5 Sky View Drive In (18 reviews)
    - SO YOU WANT TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT WITH THE KIDS
    Movie Theaters
    Sky View Drive In image
    Take them to a real drive-in movie! For each adult paying just $10.00 a ticket - 2 kids under 12 get in FREE - so a family of four can go to the movies for $20! There's a concession stand but you can bring your own snacks including alcohol if you want so forget the high priced popcorn of the modern movie houses. There's two screens thus 2 different movies to choose from and sometimes you can watch both if the timing is right. The volume is played on your car's FM radio or if you're afraid of running your car battery down, bring a portable FM stereo. Times vary so check the website for show options and times - the shows usually begin at dark. We like to go early - grab some dinner from one of the local resturants - relax, picinic and let the grandkids play at the playground - when it gets dark, head to the car & get comfy for the show. Bring pillows, blankets, snacks, a cooler of drinks and bug repellent - maybe a bucket for 'kid relief' you'll have a good old fashion time! See more..
  33. 4.5 Marcus Elgin Cinema (18 reviews)
    - Always my first choice in Movie Theaters!
    Movie Theaters
    I love this theater and the Marcus Rewards program. All the theaters have reclining seats. If you go before 4 pm you get a discount over the evening price and during the week, I believe Monday-Thursday the matinee price is only $6!. With the rewards card you get special offers, add up points for discounts on tickets and concessions, and order tickets online without an extra fee. You pick your exact seats on the app and can also see how many others reserved in advance. The theaters and bathrooms are always clean. The only negative I've ever experienced is that they don't staff the concessions very well. You can get 'real food' during certain hours of the day but there may be a wait while it is prepared so come early. Concession prices are similar to most of the other local theaters. Get the large drink and/or popcorn and you get free refills. See more..

  35. 3.0 AMC Showplace Machesney Park 14 (13 reviews)
    - A little dirty...
    Spent 2-3 hours Movie Theaters
    This is a fairly new theater. The seats are nice, the entrance is nice, 14 screens is nice, seeing Hidden Figures was fantastic.... ....but the place really needs someone on hyperdrive cleaning it. It just seemed grimy to me - too much stuff on the floor, the self-serve are of concessions was disheveled, and it just needed someone who would clean the extra stuff out of it. The movie - flawless. Good audio, good screen, good time. See more..

    Classic Cinemas Elk Grove Theatre image
    My 5 year old granddaughter and I wanted to see "Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom", so we chose the Elk Grove Theatre for an afternoon matinee. I must admit that it was way busier than I thought that it would be, probably because of the dinosaurs, the "Incredibles 2" movie and no school. They did have more than adequate staffing, so the waits at the ticket counter or concession stand were not long. The theatre is clean and well-maintained. The prices are more than reasonable. You may want to consider joining the rewards program for Classic Cinemas - every bit helps! See more..
  40. 4.0 AMC Showplace (11 reviews)
    - enjoyable visit with only one glitch

    AMC Showplace image
    The theater was clean, the service was good, and unlike other theaters the volume level of the movie was actually reasonable (we did not need earplugs like at other theaters that crank the audio so loud that the walls shake). The only problem I had was getting up out of the seat: when I tried to push myself forward from the back rest, it titled back even further and when I tried to pull myself forward on the arm rests, they came up. Luckily we sat right behind the railing so I could pull myself up on that. We also enjoyed the concession stand: very modern with nice features! (Although we missed the old-fashioned glass counters displaying all of the goodies. See more..

Finally, it's a family operated business- they put in a strong effort to give you a great movie experience. You always get a double-feature. See more..

    Stadium seating, wide comfy seats, great selection of movie smacks and drinks elevate this theater to the top of the list.

Their newest theater screen, the Mega Suite, features full electric recliners, USB chargers and reserved seating. The ticket prices are excellent with a morning special of $4.50 and afternoons at $6.00. Of course RMC offers the popcorn, candy and Pepsi products but also beer, wine and hot food.

    Me and my girlfriend went to see Little Women. We really enjoyed seeing this movie although she broke up with me afterward due to a fight about Emma Watson. The workers were really friendly but I thought the carpets were very drab and distasteful. The food I purchased came in a little cardboard tray with a measly amount of popcorn but made up for it with allowing me to get a pack of candy to share with my now ex. This was a very enjoyable experience and I will definitely bring more mistresses here. 9/10 See more..
