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! Heidi
