Landmark's Shattuck Cinemas

This is a eulogy to a wonderful theatre that has delighted audiences over the course of forty years in the heart of Berkeley.
A place for first dates, old couples, families and those just wanting to escape into a movie for a couple hours. Sad to see it go but that seems to be the way things go these days. Thankful for all the memories.

I am a fan of the Landmark Cinema chain and this was my first time attending an East Bay Landmark movie theater. I was impressed with the historical significance of the building and architecture. I enjoyed the historic photographs on display in the lobby. The full-bar onsite is an added amenity.

Gorgeous theater. Different themes in different rooms. Love love LOVE this place. Clean and quiet during a matinee. Great price on tickets at that time too.

They tend to screen "smaller" films, not blockbuster action movies. Although parking may be difficult (there is a city garage a block away on Allston), BART is very close. They make fresh popcorn and a large refill ($8 Feb. 2019) is free. A matinee ticket is $9.50, which seems like a good deal. I was in a small theater, six seats in a row, with highback reclining chairs which were wide and very comfortable.

Love the fact that they have many independent and foreign language films. The seats are comfortable, most of them are in good condition, and it is easy to grab a good seat since it isn't crowded (I've been to 4 movies so far). The staff is friendly as well. The website is easy to navigate. Prices are quite reasonable, and there's a discounted pass for 25 tickets.

Not sure what more you could ask for.

This theater is lovely and goes above and beyond to create a special experience. As others have mentioned, the design, color and upkeep of the theaters themselves is quite nice. And the leather recliner chairs are both clean and comfortable. My kids and I appreciated the personal interactions we had with staff, from the window staff to the ticket taker to the snack sales; all were personable, friendly, made eye contact and helped us feel welcome. The staff announcement regarding safety, phones, etc. just before the show is a really nice touch.

Retro theatre with decent prices. On site bar with full drinks menu and specials. Hosts specialty screenings!

We were in a fairly small theater which was nice and clean. Some of the seats, although comfy were showing a little of their age through wear and tear. Sound system was good. Staff from the ticket window to concession stand and post movie clean up crew were super polite and friendly. Would come back for the right movie.

A place of my youthful dreams, the spot where I first kissed a girl, and a place with cultural impact on this city I cannot understand it, this place has been lovingly maintained, and staffed by a nice people who understand the movie experience. It was it at this theater that I saw the first Bruce Lee movie to come out in the United States. It was at this theater when I first saw the movie Heavy Metal. It was at this theater I wear a short Chinese guy who is famous in the neighborhood was always making sure I was not getting into trouble. I especially liked the walk up the stairs to the upstairs theaters. This is a piece of my history

Beautiful theater with themed rooms (the Egyptian and the Indian one are very cozy). I have yet to try the food but the bar is staffed with charming people and they make good drinks. It's also nice that they feature both new popular films as well as independent and foreign ones for a really nice variety.

A great place to watch independent films in Downtown Berkeley. It may not have stadium seating, but the seats are comfortable and offer ample leg room. The theaters are relatively small, so buy tickets ahead of time if you want to ensure a seat. In addition to the standard concessions, there's also a bar from which you can bring in drinks.

Delightful well-kept movie theater in downtown Berkeley. High quality films, beautiful decorations featuring Egyptian and Persian motifs. The balconies in the back theaters are fun, but the view from below is better. The big comfy chairs are great too. Come early and enjoy a drink at the adjacent full bar. They let you take the drinks into the theaters. Overall, if your film is playing in multiple places, give the Shattuck Cinemas strong consideration.

What a great movie theatre! They always have the movies I want to see. The seats are comfortable and the staff is incredibly nice. You can even get really good drinks, wine & beer at the bar and bring them into the theatre. The bartender is great & always asks what movie you’re going to see. Love this place!

We have only been here once, but this movie theater was right up our alley, where it was a more personable experience than other movie cinemas that we have previously experienced, where each showing has a much more personable occupancy of about 100 people where it feels more like the old time movie theaters where it is an old movie theater from the past, but well kept up, updated and very clean.

Plus, the biggest winner is they serve beer, wine and spirits that you can actually bring into the movie showing. SOLD!!! We are definitely returning to this cinema.

Beautiful theater with comfortable seats. It's easily my favorite in Berkeley. In some of the theaters, there are even couches or reclining chairs. Good selection of indie movies and bigger ones, too.

One of three excellent theaters in downtown Berkeley. Films lean more towards the artistic side but also features some popcorn flicks. Some theaters have reclining seats and there is a bar connected to the theater from which you can bring drinks into your movie. Bart accessible

Outstanding customer service. I needed a devise for hearing. They showed me how to use it & were patient. Theater seats were very comfortable & looks like going to the movies might be making a comeback. Theater was busy on an early Saturday afternoon. I look forward to returning.

Great as always! Found a pretty close parking spot this time. $7 for two hour meter.
Movie wonderful, seated in large comfy black leather seat and full screen clearly visible and audio just perfect!

This theater is a theater lovers dream. Classic architecture, always plays wonderful smaller movies and has a staff that is incredibly attentive and personable. Should you've looking for a theater that is more about the love of movies and less cooperate, this may be the place for you.
I enjoy this spot so much, I watch movies multiple times here. Their concession prices aren't much cheaper than other places but no where near as expensive as AMC or Cinemark. Also, they leave movie posters out for customers to take home free. Definitely recommend a visit to this one.

Love this place. FYI: the Nachos with chicken are simple, but delicious with sour cream and salsa. You can get popcorn with real butter and adult beverages. Comfortable seats.
