I love this cinema!! Comfy seats and reasonable prices. Tuesdays are $6 per person. Tonight we saw Supergirl. Kiddo and I liked it and are glad we saw it in the cinema. read more

Clean and attentive staff. Fre refills on popcorn and a beautiful hortorical theater.

Cool atmosphere, easy to check in. Seating area is a bit run down but generally clean.

Rarely today do you have experiences in any thing we do that reminds us of better days! The York classic cinema brings me back to going to movies with friends. Laughing, being able to enjoy the whole experience without any fighting, rudeness. The young people working in this theatre and really respectful, nice people. Treat you well and are very good at their jobs! The building itself is spotless! There is a real effort to keep it worthy of your time! Not one lazy uninterested employee! A miracle today! Bravo, well deserved! The seating is really big and comfortable! Like your at home but better your in a theatre enjoying a nice night out! I am thoroughly impressed with the entire operation and I am so happy I have this little slice of my past to rely on now! Five big stars! read more

Theater feels dingy, dark, dirty. Used to have an arts movie at least weekly, but not anymore.

My friend and I decided to see a movie and this was my first time at this movie theatre. This location is conveniently located in downtown Elmhurst. It is in the perfect spot because there are so many restaurants around within walking distance to have dinner and a movie. The prices are more reasonable than surrounding theaters and this location is just beautiful! I love how it is in an historic building and they haven't changed it. The theatre is clean and the seats are super comfy. They recline and have heated or cooling options. I love this movie theatre. It is truly a hidden gem! read more

What a cute little theatre! We were able to find parking not too far away and got to the movie in time to get popcorn (even their small popcorn was quite large, but reasonably priced and free refills!) and canned alcoholic drinks (yup - beer, wine, and cocktails all on the menu) prior to our showing. Because we were going to see Top Gun: Maverick, we got free posters upon entering (and we didn't have to wait in line for tickets, because we bought them online in advance including our seat selection.) I only go to move theaters that have reclining chairs these days, and they not only had that, but they also had heated seat options! (That was a new one for me - haven't seen that before.) The staff was incredibly kind, everything was clean, I enjoyed the overall movie experience and would definitely go back when I'm in town next! read more

Great prices, comfy seats, old school theater looks. Love classic cinemas! Plus free refills what more can you ask for!

Such a great movie theater. Definitely has that classic small town theater feel. Service is great. The seats are amazing- they have seat warmers! Perfect for a chilly movie night. Theaters are always clean. read more

This theatre is such a little gem. It's a small traditional theatre, but the screen is big and seats are very comfortable. The seats recline and are heated . Another perk is unlimited refills on drinks and popcorn. They also give mints at the end of the movie, so nice. There's free 4hr garage parking behind the theatre and there's an electric charger in there if you need. read more

I went there last Sunday to watch American underdog and the theater seats are very comfortable to sit in they even have heat. The free refills are amazing that way you don't have to keep paying for More drinks read more

My favorite theater in Illinois. It's always the right amount of cold, old time theater vibe, comfortable seats, and great movie selection new and old. Cheap tickets, free popcorn and drink refills too. The only bad thing is the Sodas which taste watered down but everything else is great! read more

What a great way to time at the movies. York Theater staff and the management team was sincerely impressive.

I was disappointed to see that I could not get to the main section of seating with my group because there were a lot of steps. I use a walker and I am unable to do steps. I was able to sit down below in a very nice seat which was good but was glad the handicap section was not filled. It just should be more clear perhaps on your website that that is the situation, read more

Terrible experience...film went out many times. The movie was Oppenheimer. The manager apologized but the problem was never addressed during the film viewing itself. I truly doubt anyone working in the theater even was paying attention. Got a refund but refused the free pass. Won't go there again. read more

Cool location, weak stale popcorn. This is in a nice underated Elmhurst downtown. LOTS to do in the unassuming downtown all packed within walking distance. read more

We got stranded in Chicago and with the break in the cold temps decided to venture out and catch a movie. This was the closest theater to our hotel (Holiday Inn Express) by ORD and we're so glad we came!! Off the bat we were excited as they still have the classic theater signage with lights & pizzazz. Matinee tickets are only $6.50 so honestly, can't be beat. Only stinker is that their lights didn't turn off right away when the movie started so I had to run out to the concessions and let them know before we could see the screen. Staff was super apologetic though and incredibly friendly. Another plus is it has an impeccable location with BWW across the street that offers a BOGO on a snack traditional wings which we DEFINITELY took advantage of :) woot woot! Dinner and a movie #classic read more

Very comfy seats, friendly staff. Heated seats during the cold weather was a plus. The XQ picture quality was also very nice.

Best movie theater ever. I am in elmhurst for college and was excited to know there was a local theater. I reserved tickets for a movie with fandango and they had recliners and heated seats! Best movie experience I've had. The location is also great to have some Dairy Queen after a movie read more

We hosted a birthday party here for my 9 year old and had a blast. The staff was friendly and helpful. The party room gave us plenty of space and we were able to bring in our own food. This was an affordable and fun movie birthday read more

$5 Tuesdays! This is what lured my husband and I to watch the new Spiderman movie (excellent movie by the way). The entrance has bright lights reminding you of Hollywood glamor. All they need is someone to take your tickets outside. While this theater is considered a classic cinema, it has reserved seats with recliners. The seats are comfortable with lots of room and heating. The picture is good as well. It doesn't seem like many of the other classic cinemas I have gone to. It is definitely upscale. On Tues, it is only $5 and totally worth it. If you purchase tickets online though, take a screen shot or print out your final receipt. They were supposed to send our tickets to our email; however, they never came. Luckily, we were able to show them our screen shot and got in right away with no issues. I would definitely be back here... on a Tuesday. read more

Outstanding managers, staff, and theater! I work at a local wellness & fitness center nearby. We rented a theater at Classics Cinemas York in Elmhurst for a somewhat more significant event than what we would generally put on outside our centers. We did not expect things to run as smoothly, pleasant, and efficiently. I learned a lot as an organizer and MC and could not have felt more supported. Great spirit and service. Thank you from all our staff and members. read more

First, I live 2 blocks from here so I may be bias. I watched Rambo last blood in the second day of release without the insane crowds. (Though it was an early afternoon showing) The seats are very comfortable, modern, power reclining and heated. I love the convenience and downtown feel of this theater. Just an excellent theater in general and I'll be back many times. read more

I LOVE Classic Cinemas theatres! They have the best popcorn anywhere! They give free refills on ANY SIZE popcorn and drink. The theatres all have great character. The York has been remodeled since I was there and it looks great. The area where you purchase tickets gets very crowded and congested, though. The main complaint I have is that the theatre we were in was wide but there was only one entrance to the seats, so if you sat on the end you had to climb over A LOT of people to get out and get your free refills, and if you were on the end by the entrance to the aisle, people were frequently climbing over you and there isn't enough room so you have to stand up every time. That was frustrating and a little stressful- I wonder why it was designed that way. This is still an awesome theatre with great character, yummy movie treats and in a fun, hip location. read more

This place clean, the popcorn is great and you get free refills on popcorn and all drinks including Icee drinks, why would you go anywhere else, read the reviews on AMC in Oak brook or Lombard, less than stellar & no refills & ticket prices are higher! read more

5 stars purely for their fabulous film selections! I love when they screen films relating to classic Hollywood. I've been here to see King of Jazz as well as Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story. Furthermore, they've also screened films by local filmmakers. For example, an Elmhurst local filmmaker screened his film, My Country, here. Looking forward to more films like these at the York! read more

My sister and I take our 97 year old mother to the movies every Tuesday. We always go to York theater. They have plenty of staff, the place is very clean,the staff is very friendly, great manager and AMAZING POPCORN! It has a ramp for disabled and very accessible for the handicapped. A HUGE THUMBS UP! read more

ThankYou to Mr. Little !!! Movie Theatre attendant with a Big Heart! Lost my cellphone in the seats ~ You found it and made sure the phone was returned to me. Mr. Little only one suggestion... change your name to Mr. BIG!!!! God Bless You! read more

This the nicest Classic Cinemas and one of the best, if not the best movie theaters I've been to. I live closer to Lake theater, but make the trip to be at this nice, beautiful, clean theater. They have great movies showing, the staff are very friendly and helpful. Andy Bach the GM recently helped with a slight problem I had. I would recommend anyone check this place out. It's very impressive inside and out. read more

I love this place. The staff and atmosphere are always a great. No long lines, and the 5 dollar movie Tuesday are fantastic. The parking garage they built behind it has made parking a breeze! Great date night movie theater with plenty of dining options around. read more

Straight honesty right here. York Theatre is my favorite movie theater to patronize. The fact that it's two blocks' walking distance from my work is just a bonus. I started coming here when I used to have to attend board meetings regularly at work. I'd hit the 5 p.m. show and be out in time for the meeting, no sweat. I'm not big on those ginormous megaplexes where you feel like you're walking into a warehouse to see a movie, with their gigantic lobbies and ground in popcorn, where there are 400 other people squeezed in like sardines. None of that occurs here. You walk in, and there are only two kiosk stations, plus the concession area. If they're not busy, you actually buy your tickets at the concession stand. I like how personal and intimate this feels. Then you walk into the theater and *gasp* the floors aren't sticky and the carpet isn't ground with popcorn or grease. They're CLEAN. That's awesome, and my shoes thank you. The auditoriums are beautiful, old-style with fancy lighting fixtures, gold trim and fancy mouldings. I can't even talk about it because I'm not educated in the finer things such as that, but it's beautiful. I feel like I'm seeing a show at the Chicago or Oriental Theatre downtown. And, this may be due to the fact that I always go on off nights, but they never feel crowded. And the seats are comfortable. Frankly, this isn't my most interesting review and I doubt I'll be marked FUNNY on this on, but if you're looking for honesty this is it. And if you're looking for a very nice theater to see a film at; this is it. read more

Hello York, I loved your elegant carpeting. As soon as I (capital I, not just for myself, but for emphasis) felt dirty! Man, you have a great gig going for yourself. Fancy Shmancy! I saw a movie for only 8 dollars on a Saturday night. Message me if you LOVED McGruber! I was offered FREE refills on my popcorn! I canNOT exclaim this enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did just type a 1 up above and deleted it. I laughed my way through a stupid funny movie, and was rewarded with free refills through the whole thing. This kind of love is hardly ever found and sooooooo much appreciated when it is. York Theatre, I love you, Leslie Q Your favorite Yelp reviewer. read more

Wow, apparently I went on a Yelp vacation. Haven't written a review in ages. Nothing like butter-smothered popcorn to get a girl in action. I so enjoy the York theatre. I've never had any problems with the staff or with the sound quality or start time of a movie. I also always request extra extra butter on my popcorn and they happily comply. The bathrooms are clean, the decor fun, and the popcorn yummy. Have I mentioned I really like their popcorn? MMMMMM....popcorn. Droooool. Oh, right, the review. Go here, see movies, eat popcorn. You can thank me later. read more

A matinee for two at York Theaters: $16 Popcorn, nachos and two drinks: $16 The experience of Lion King 3D: Priceless Well hello $8 dollar movie tickets. Yea...that' still pretty expensive to see a movie but it WAS in 3D. Compared other theaters, the food is inexpensive. It's a clean establishment and it's in downtown Elmhurst, pretty convenient. PLUS there's lots of restaurants and dessert places close by. Perfect for a date night. read more
