Cinema in and near Philadelphia, PA

While the Rocky films may be the most popular of all the Philadelphia movies—and the steps in front of the Philadelphia Museum of Art may be Philly’s most famous filming site—the theaters in Philadelphia are perhaps even more well-known than the city’s cinematic scenery. Even though many older, classic venues, including the Tower Theater, have been converted from movie houses into concert halls, there are still plenty of movie theaters in Philadelphia. Those looking for something even more out-of-the-box than an independent film or a foreign flick should check out 9D Cinema for short films that incorporate moving seats and in-theater special effects.
