These are my faves:

The Avalon, a few blocks north of the Uptown on Connecticut Avenue. It
is similar in design to the Uptown, with a large screen and stuff, but
I find it a lot nicer and tons cleaner. It also has a fabulous thing
on the ceiling that is like a reproduction of The Creation by
Michaelangelo (I think that's what it's called and who it's by, the
one with God reaching down from Heaven almost touching the fingertip
of the man on earth?) with the added feature of movie film
entertwining them. I think there's a second theater upstairs with a
small screen. 

I also have a special place in my heart for the theater at University
Mall in Fairfax. They have second run films for $3, but the best part
is their concession stand. They offer international coffees, and some
of the best iced tea I've ever tasted. They also have this special
date deal for two: you can get two admissions, two huge drinks, and
this amazingly huge vat-o-popcorn with a tray that attaches to the
seats. All that for $8, I think. They are also super friendly. Even
the message listing showtimes was cute. Once I called and at the end
of the message the guy said, "Love ya!"

For your basic movie theatre Courthouse in Arlington is great. Very
clean, nice size. But I may be biased because I can walk to it.

Hope this helps!
