| - Indeed, Toronto affords you different movie-going experiences. Going to the larger first-run theatres, you are afforded the opportunity to queue up at a kiosk to order your tickets, conveniently (read: "do your own up-sale") pre-order your snack options, sit in a close-to-empty theatre and hope that this Ben Stiller movie doesn't suck as much as the last Ben Stiller movie but realize that thirteen minutes in, the dictionary is now offered a new level of definition for the word "suck". If you don't fancy such an experience, rep theatres in Toronto are the way to go, and the Bloor is one of the best ones to go to.
Found in the Annex, and thus afforded many places to visit before and after the film for dinner, drink, what have you. Add to this that it's right on Bloor steps away from the Bathurst subway station, so you've no excuse not to go.
This is an old-school movie theatre with old school classics being shown. They do their best to rotate into the repertory roster films that are classics, new and old, so you're able to go see Casablanca in a full-screen cinematic experience as well as some just off first run decent movies. The seating is a throwback to the days of old, so you run the risk of having a 6'2" female volleyball player with a large plumed bonnet sitting in front of you, but that's part of the old school feel, innit? Oh, and the popcorn is dandy as well.
