| - The Art Theater is one of my absolute favorite places in Champaign. Since the theater came under new ownership (Sanford Hess), this place has undergone a huge transformation: better movies, better concessions (alcohol!), and an owner who is always receptive to customers.
The theater screens multiple films each week, including the regular feature, weekend late-night movies, and ballets and/or operas on weekend afternoons. I absolutely love the selection of films that Sanford chooses, and, while I may not actually enjoy every one, the fact that he's worked so hard to appeal to diverse tastes while consistently bringing in quality films is exactly what makes this theater so great. Sanford even gives an introduction before each screening, which adds that personal touch that you just can't get at the Bev or Savoy.
Simply put, you couldn't ask for a better movie-going experience. And did I mention they serve booze? ;)
